'Corn: Chemistry and Technology, Third Edition, ' provides a broad perspective on corn from expert agronomists, food scientists and geneticists. This encyclopedic storehouse of comprehensive information on all aspects of the world's largest crop (in metric tons) includes extensi…
"Do you like corn on the cob? What about popcorn? How about tortilla chips, cornbread, and cornflakes? You've probably eaten these foods made from corn--but you might be surprised to discover you eat a lot more corn than you think. Corn is also hidden in many other kinds of food…
Maize is the world's most widely grown cereal and a dietary staple throughout the Third World, but its full potential has only begun to be tapped. This book thoroughly examines the biological and economic issues relevant to improving the productivity of maize in developing count…
"This compelling book explores the intimate connections between people and plants, agriculture and cooking, and the practical work of building local food networks and transnational social movements. Lauren E. Baker uses corn and maize to consider central debates about food secur…
Demand for arable farmland is growing globally. The need for land-based products, such as food, feed, biofuels, and timber, as well as conservation efforts to preserve biodiversity and create carbon sinks, is driving intense competition over finite land resources. A key challeng…
Drainage water recycling is a sparsely studied agricultural management practice which has the potential to both improve yields and reduce adverse water quality effects of row crop agriculture. This practice captures and stores subsurface drainage from agricultural fields for sup…
Chemical pesticides have been used to protect crops, trees and environments from infestation and/or damage caused by pests. Although effective, chemical pesticides leads to environmental pollution overtime. Hence eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides were sought for c…
The overall purpose of this study is to estimate how the rise in grain prices (especially corn prices) induced by ethanol production impacts U.S. catfish industry. Using monthly data from January 1996 to December 2007, an ARDL model and bounds testing procedure were used. The ex…
Citric acid is an important specialty chemical which can be synthesized biologically. It has a number of commercial applications including its use in foods, pharmaceuticals and other industries. In this study, the coproducts resulting from ethanol fermentation of corn were teste…
In plants, genetic diversity is important for species adaptation in nature and for crop improvement through breeding. For decades, genetic diversity was measured at the nucleotide and gene level. With the abundance of whole genome sequences and chromosome level genome assemblies…
In maize ( Zea mays L. ), the largest staple crop in the world, nitrogen (N) represents a major limiting factor for productivity. However, improving N use efficiency (NUE) is still one of the most critical research issues to achieve food security in a context affected by climate…
Previous reports indicate that when soybean protein in the diets of piglets and turkey poults were replaced with purified animal proteins, bone calcification improved. In piglets the dietary requirement for ergocalciferol (vitamin D\sb2) was also lowered. However, there were no …
This thesis examined the role of phenolic substances in resistance to insect pests of maize and sorghum. Eight landraces of sorghum collected in Ethiopia were assessed for methanol soluble phenolic content (as catechin equivalents) by the Prussian blue procedure and storage inse…
Three commercial low tannin sorghum (LTS) grain varieties (Pioneer 8333, NC+ 271, Dekalb 42Y) and one commercial high tannin (HTS) variety (Dekalb BR-64) were grown at the same location in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988. Average crude protein content, on a dry matter basis of all sor…
Little information is available on the early effects of manure P from poultry [both chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) and turkey (Melleagris gollopavo)] on corn (Zea mays L.) production. This study assessed the effects of poultry manure application rates commonly used by Corn B…
