Book excerpt: Maize is a staple cereal after wheat and rice. It is an important source of carbohydrate, protein, iron, vitamin B and minerals for many poor people in the world. In developing countries maize is a major source of income in resource-poor farmers. As maize is used both as silage and as crop residue and the grains of maize are usually used for food, starch and oil extraction industrially, the demand for maize is rising day by day. Therefore, it is imperative for improvement of maize to meet the increasing demand. This book entitled "Maize - Production and Use" highlights the importance of maize and the improved management approaches for improving the productivity of maize in the era of changing climate.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercropping of grain legumes in cereals is a common feature of cropping systems while, the extent of forage crop production is partly limited due to small landholding and the extent of forage legumes in the mixture is found to be low. Integration of forage legumes in cropping systems through intercropping could be used to optimize land use productivity and improve the crop residue feed quality, besides additional forage production. The studies, showed that integration of forage legumes (lablab and vetch) into maize as an intercropping can increase productivity per unit of land, enable additional forage crop production without significant sacrifice of maize grain and stover yield and improvement of stover feed value. Intercropping of vetch with maize in rows at 50% of its sole seed rate was superior can be used by those farmers, who need to produce additional forage and improve the crude protein of stover without significant sacrifice of maize grain yield.

Download or read book Evaluating the Effect of Legume-maize Intercropping on Plant Growth, N2 Fixation, WUE, C Assimilation, Grain Yield and Microbial Diversity written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the effect of maize-legume intercropping on plant growth, N2 fixation, WUE, C assimilation and grain yield under field conditions in Eswatini. The 15N natural abundance and ureide assay were used to assess N2 fixation in the six test legumes (Bambara groundnut, cowpea, dry bean, groundnut, jack bean and soybean). Instantaneous water-use efficiency was estimated as the ratio of photosynthetic rate to stomatal conductance from gas-exchange measurements while the 13C natural abundance technique was used as an integrated estimate of WUE. The six test legumes obtained 39.06 – 70.19% of their N nutrition from symbiosis based on the 15N natural abundance technique, while the ureide assay showed that the legumes could obtain 16.46 – 55.79% of their N from symbiosis. The amount of N-fixed ranged from 12.66 to 66.57 kg ha-1 . In most instances, a high amount of N-fixed by legumes was accompanied by greater shoot DM and high grain yield, which indicates the importance of the symbiotic process in plant growth and grain yield. Plants that recorded high photosynthetic rates and leaf chlorophyll content also had greater WUE, and higher WUE was also associated with increased shoot DM and improved yields. The low shoot C:N ratio (12.67 – 21.44 g.g-1 ) of test legumes would support rapid decomposition. ERIC-PCR fingerprinting of isolates revealed high genetic diversity among the rhizobial symbionts of groundnut, jack bean and soybean from Eswatini. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA, housekeeping genes (atpD, dnaK, glnll and rpoB) and symbiotic genes (nifH and nodC) showed that the three legumes were nodulated by rhizobia belonging to the genus Bradyrhizobium. The groundnut microsymbionts were closely related to B. arachidis, B. iriomotense and B. canariense, while the jack bean and soybean microsymbionts were closely related to B. pachyrhizi and B. elkanii. Symbiotic characterization of bacterial isolates showed high variation in nodule number, nodule dry matter and shoot DM induced by rhizobia in their homologous hosts, name groundnut, jack bean and soybean. Some of the test isolates elicited higher relative symbiotic efficiency (RSE) than the commercial rhizobial strains, indicating that the indigenous rhizobia present in Eswatini soils can potentially be used in the development of inoculants. Interestingly, isolates which recorded high RSE clustered together in the single gene phylograms of the housekeeping genes and in the 16S rRNA phylogram. The findings of this study will assist in improving grain yield of maize in Eswatini through maize-legume intercropping.

Download or read book Legumes for Soil Health and Sustainable Management written by Ram Swaroop Meena and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable management of soils is an important global issue of the 21st century. Feeding roughly 8 billion people with an environmentally sustainable production system is a major challenge, especially considering the fact that 10% of the world’s population at risk of hunger and 25% at risk of malnutrition. Accordingly, the 68th United Nations (UN) general assembly declared 2016 the “International Year of Pulses” to raise awareness and to celebrate the role of pulses in human nutrition and welfare. Likewise, the assembly declared the year 2015 as the “International Year of Soils” to promote awareness of the role of “healthy soils for a healthy life” and the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS) has declared 2015-2024 as the International Decade of Soils. Including legumes in cropping systems is an important toward advancing soil sustainability, food and nutritional security without compromising soil quality or its production potential. Several textbooks and edited volumes are currently available on general soil fertility or on legumes but‚ to date‚ none have been dedicated to the study of “Legumes for Soil Health and Sustainable Management”. This is important aspect, as the soil, the epidermis of the Earth (geoderma)‚ is the major component of the terrestrial biosphere. This book explores the impacts of legumes on soil health and sustainability, structure and functioning of agro-ecosystems, agronomic productivity and food security, BNF, microbial transformation of soil N and P, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria, biofertilizers, etc. With the advent of fertilizers, legumes have been sidelined since World War II, which has produced serious consequences for soils and the environment alike. Therefore, legume-based rational cropping/soil management practices must support environmentally and economically sustainable agroecosystems based on (sequential) rotation and intercropping considerations to restore soil health and sustainability. All chapters are amply illustrated with appropriately placed data, tables, figures, and photographs, and supported with extensive and cutting-edge references. The editors have provided a roadmap for the sustainable development of legumes for food and nutritional security and soil sustainability in agricultural systems, offering a unique resource for teachers, researchers, and policymakers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, agronomy, ecology, and the environmental sciences.

Book excerpt: Maize is one of the versatile emerging crops with wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Globally, maize is known as queen of cereals because it has the highest genetic yield potential among the cereals. It is cultivated on nearly 150 m/ha in about 160 countries having wider diversity of soil, climate, biodiversity and management practices that contributes 36 % (782 m/t) in the global grain production. The United States of America (USA) is the largest producer of maize contributes nearly 35 % of the total production in the world. It is the driver of the US economy. This book talks about the improvement, production, protection and post harvest technology of the maize crop.
