https://lnkd.in/eAvNs4xS Article title: Factors Affecting Iron Absorption and Mitigation Mechanisms: A review Author(s): Fikiru Dasa; Tilahun Abera Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: Iron has many special functions in the body. More than 65 percent of the body’s iron is in the blood in the form of hemoglobin, which is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen to tissues in the body. A compound that carries oxygen to the muscle cells called myoglobin, also requires iron. In addition, iron has a role in many chemical reactions within the body that generate energy. A human body can store excess iron as a reserve. The World Health Organization reported that iron deficiency anemia is one of the most widespread nutrient deficiencies in the globe. Diverse factors may affect its absorption like low dietary intake of iron, deprived iron absorption, or too much blood loss. Moreover, polyphenolic compounds widely found in coffee and tea such as chlorogenic acids, monomeric flavonoids, and polyphenol polymerization products also strongly inhibit dietary nonheme-iron absorption. Children, adolescents, pregnant women, women of child-bearing age, athletes, and older adults are groups at greater risk for iron deficiency. The objective of this review paper is to review factors influencing iron absorption. #Iron #Ironabsorption #Ironmetabolism #Deficiency #Riskfactors #Mitigation #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology

https://lnkd.in/eD5HYnQb Article title: Technical evaluation of selected soil conservation practices and farmers’ perception about soil erosion in Donbi Watershed, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia Author(s): Bekele Tsegaye; Moges Awdenegest Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: Soil erosion is recognized as one of the most serious causes of soil degradation in Ethiopia [1-5]. And hence in highland areas of the country the crop yield and soil fertility levels are extremely low [6]. Annually about 1.5 to 2 billion soil loss rate is reported for the country [7,8]. Most of the factors contributing for soil erosion in the country are human induced [9,10]. Most cultivated lands in the hills and moussntains of the country have suffered from loss of top soil, leaving bare stones. Gullies are observed everywhere in the deep soils [11]. It caused strong environmental impacts and major economic losses from decreased agricultural production and from off-site effects on infrastructure and water quality by sedimentation processes [12,13]. It has put a substantial threat in agriculture of the country. #Soilbund #Fanyajuu #Perception #Conservation #Ethiopia #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology

https://lnkd.in/edxPdwAx Article title: A novel technique to retain more water in soil, use less water and enhance plant growth!! Author(s): Dinesh O Shah Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: At a Global scale, we are growing as much grain as possible to feed world population and domestic animals. As the world population grows in the coming decades, we may not have enough grain to feed the world population. The limiting factors are land suitable for cultivation or farming, environmental conditions and water available for plant growth/farming. Thus, the goal should be how much grain, e.g. corn or wheat we can grow per gallon of available water? If we focus on available water for agriculture, then evaporation loss from soil is the major mechanism for the loss of water. We have shown [1], that we can retain more water in soil by layering a hydrophobic or water repellent soil layer ( 5mm to 10 mm thickness) on top of normal soil to save as much as 90 % of water lost by evaporation. Not only we retain water in the soil but the retained water can enhance the growth of the plants. #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology

https://lnkd.in/eyeAvwxS Article title: Food Behavior and Consumption Pattern in Rural White Nile of Sudan Author(s): Abdelsami Musa Ibrahim Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: Food consumption and nutrition intakes it seem as a major problem in rural area of White Nile state in Sudan, in spite of this area is rich of food production resource, through this study we had tried to know the pattern of food consumption and nutritional intaking in this area by taking six groups of food. The measurement of food security in the State was assessing through a household survey data. The author used Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (AL-AIDS) to estimate food price and expenditure elasticities and also used the nutrient demand model, in addition to the impact of the household characteristics on food and nutrition demand behavior; the result in term of cross price elasticity showed positive sign indicating response of substitution, in addition to the expenditure elasticities for all food groups showed positive signs excluding the oil group; generally, according to the nutrient demand model the result showed the household characteristics influence the nutrition intaking for all members of family, in other hand the regional factor appears to have negative impact between localities within the study area; finally, strongly recommended that the federal government strategy and policies for food security will be directed toward to the food supply and designed to increase income and procurement power.   #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology

https://lnkd.in/eKYpCze5 Article title: Association of Glomus Intraradices in Sorghum Bicolor Author(s): Jeethu Anu Geo; Anu S Nair;AK Vijayan Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) are beneficial symbionts for plant growth. They are associated with higher plants by a symbiotic association, and benefit plants in uptake of phosphorus nutrients, production of growth hormones, increase of proteins, lipids and sugars levels, helps in heavy metal binding, salinity tolerance, disease resistance, and even in the uptake of radionuclides. Mycorrhizal genes are also applicable in improvement of crop plants, due to their delivery into plants, by a process called, particle bombardment. The influence of Glomus intraradices inoculation on growth performance of Sorghum bicolour in three different potting material such as Vermicompost, soil: sand and coir pith compost was studied in a screen house experiment. The results obtained indicated the dependence of Sorghum bicolor on mycorrhizal symbiosis. Inoculation with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza in vermicompost significantly improved the growth performance of Sorghum bicolor by showing significant increase in shoot and root length. Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculation has a high potential in agroforestry as a bio-fertilizer.   #Arbuscularmycorrhizae #Glomusintraradices #Sorghumbicolor   #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology

https://lnkd.in/eAjWAa3R Article title: Characterization of Honeybees (Apismellifera L.) Behavior and Swarming Tendency in Bale, South-eastern Ethiopia Author(s): Bekele Tesfaye Dubale Journal ISSN: 2455-815X Journal: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology Abstract: The study was conducted to characterize honeybee’s behavior and swarming tendency in Bale Zone of Oromia Regional state, South-eastern part of Ethiopia in 2014/15. Three districts (Dinsho, Adaba and DelloMenna) were considered based on variations in agro-ecology. From each districts two Rural Kebele (RKs), from each RK 30 beekeepers and a total of 180 beekeepers were selected using purposive sampling method. The selected beekeepers were interviewed using pre-tested structure questioners and single- visit – multiple formal survey method used to collect the data. The result showed that the sample respondents categorized honeybees as black (41%), red (15%), grey (10%) and (33.9) mixture of black and red. Depending on the stinging behavior beekeepers were rated their bee colonies very aggressive (27.2%), aggressive (51.1%) and docile (21.7%). They also characterized those bees with grey in color as very aggressive in stinging behavior and called “Fakiin local language or Afan Oromo”.   #Behavior #Swarmingtendency #Honeybees #Aggressive   #AgricultureTech #AgriculturalEngineeringandTechnology #Agriculturalmachinery #PrecisionAgricultureandDataHandling #FoodSafety #Peertechz #FoodScience #PeertechzPublications #FoodMicrobiologyandSafety #EnergyAgriculture #FoodChemistry #FoodEngineeringandTechnology #Cropphysiology #Biotech #Biotechnology #BiochemicalEngineering #Biochemistry #Horticulture #EnvironmentalStudies #EnvironmentalHydrology #SustainabilityIssues #Nutrition #CropAndSoilSciences #CropScience #SoilScience #Cropbotany #Agronomy #AnimalAndAquaticSciences #AnimalSciences #Aquaculture #FishandFisheries #FoodHealthAndNutrition #Health #FermentationTechnology #FoodHealthandNutrition #MolecularBiology #PlantSciences #PlantPathology #PlantBreeding #OrganicFarming #DairyScience #CropandPasture #FoodProduction #FoodPackingandStorage #FoodPreservation #FoodProcessing #FoodPolicyandPractices #EnvironmentaltechnologyandFoodsecurity #MicrobialStudies #AppliedMicrobiology #Microbiology #Microbialbiotechnology #PesticideScience #WaterResources #WeedBiology
