Effective Utilisation of Lowland Eco-System for Water and Crop Productivity in Eastern India
Abstract: AbstractThere is no option other than to increase the food production to meet the increasing demand for food with ever-increasing population growth rate. There is also very little or no scope of horizontal expansion due to land limitation, the question of vertical expansion is the only way to fit with the situation. Genetically improved crop variety, hybrids, mechanized agriculture, higher rate of fertilizers and chemicals application may give one or …

Heterosis in Plants
Abstract: It refers to hybrid vigor or heterosis; herein, the offspring expressed better traits than one or both parent lines. This most often manifests in crop breeding as increased yield in F1 hybrids compared with their parents. Developing high-yielding hybrid cultivars across a wider range of crops represents an important strategy for addressing future food security. However, conventional hybrid breeding approaches are fraught with significant challenges in many self-pollinating crops, such …

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Levels on Yield Components and Grain Yield of Malt Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Varieties at Kulumsa, Central Ethiopia
Abstract: AbstractDetermination of optimum rates of nitrogen and appropriate varieties are important agronomic decisions for malt barley production. Thus, a field experiment was conducted at Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center during 2011 main season with the objectives of determining the effect of different nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield components and grain yield of widely grown malt barley varieties. Factorial combinations of four released malt barley varieties namely, ‘Beka’, ‘Holker’, ‘Miscal-21’ and ‘EH1293’ …

Reproductive Challenges in Tropical Dairy Cows: Exploring Stressors and Mitigation Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Reproductive efficiency in tropical dairy cows is often compromised by a range of environmental, nutritional, and management-related stressors. These stressors, including heat, humidity, poor-quality feed, disease, and parasitic infestations, significantly affect fertility, leading to prolonged calving intervals, reduced conception rates, and increased reproductive disorders. Heat stress, in particular, has been identified as a primary factor influencing reproductive performance by disrupting hormonal balance, reducing feed intake, and impairing overall cow health. …

Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport
Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …
