In dieser Dissertation wird der Einfluss von Transaktionen zur Wiederverwendung von Nährstoffen und gereinigtem kommunalen Abwasser auf die Wertschöpfungsketten der Abwasserbehandlung und Pflanzenproduktion untersucht. Ziel ist es, Kosten und Nutzen sowie die Wertschöpfung von Transaktionen in verknüpften Wertschöpfungsketten der Abwasserbehandlung und Pflanzenproduktion zu analysieren. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, wie Transaktionen und Interdependenzen zwischen Akteuren in verknüpften Wertschöpfungsketten die lokalen Governance-Strukturen für die Wiederverwendung von Abwasser beeinflussen.

Abstract:

The effect of field margin management on crop yield and weed biomass in the crop edge (headland) was investigated. Treatment did not have any significant effect on cereal yields, and taking a one metre strip out of crop production to establish a sterile, natural regeneration or sown strip, did not significantly reduce yields compared to cropping to the field edge. Conservation headlands generally contained greater amounts of weed biomass than fully sprayed headlands, but grain yields were not significantly reduced. Soil compaction affected yield in one of the field experiments, but not the oth

Mustard is an annual oil seed crop that offers farmers greater flexibility compared to oil producing trees.This study examined the economic benefits of growing mustard in north-western NSW, where production is currently limited. The impact of mustard in crop sequences with wheat and chickpeas; the two most important grain crops in this region, was assessed. Yield and market quality of all three crops was examined and the economic consequences for biodiesel production and the manufacture of other industrial products determined.

In light of climate change predominantly caused by rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, the potential importance and value of bioenergy cannot be underestimated.

Abstract:

Ensiling is one of the most common processes used as a conservation method for forages on farms and plays an important role in farm economics. Therefore, with the aim to improve the conservation and the nutritive value of silage, the utilization of silage additives such as fibrolytic enzymes (FE) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants has been a common on-farm practice. FE are enzymes capable of breaking down complex polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose. The latter results in an increased substrate availability for epiphytic and inoculated LAB during silage fermentation, thus

Current stand data (2011) was collected to determine trees per acre, basal area, average tree diameter, volume, and value.

Over the past thirty years, price relativities and technological development have motivated an increase in the area of land allocated to cropping, as opposed to pasture production, throughout the central wheat belt of Western Australia. Nevertheless, reducing the proportion of pasture in these rotations has challenged the future productivity of farming systems in this area. First, the frequent application of selective herbicides for weed control in extended cropping rotations has promoted the development of herbicide resistance in a number of major agricultural weeds.

Abstract:

Contribution à la valorisation des protéines de féveroles pour l'alimentation humaine et animale. Dans l'approche méthodologique, on détermine quelques caractéristiques physico-chimiques, et la valeur nutritionnelle des graines de féveroles par une étude de croissance et de bilan azote chez les rats. Les résultats montrent que la germination des graines de féveroles présente plus d'avantages que d'inconvénients : la germination élimine partiellement ou en totalité certains facteurs antinutritionnels, les facteurs antitrypsiques sont très peu modifiés pendant la germination des graines de féver

Abstract:

O RDW é um índice hematológico utilizado para avaliação quantitativa da anisocitose eritrocitária, sendo útil na diferenciação das causas de quadros anêmicos. Atualmente, na medicina humana, o RDW tem sido considerado como um importante fator prognóstico em quadros de ICC, mesmo na ausência de anemia. A CRP é considerada a principal proteína de fase aguda sendo amplamente utilizada como marcadora de inflamação. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar se há diferença nos valores do RDW e da concentração da CRP em cães com DVDCM com e sem ICC, bem como nos diferentes estágios (A, B1, B2, C e D) d

Abstract:

The influence of crude oil-contaminated and remediated sites on agrifood production is not clearly understood. To address this knowledge gap, the research was divided into two stages involving: (1) assessment of the efficiency of two bioremediation strategies to support hydrocarbons degradation as well as agrifood production with the initial analysis of the experimental materials, and (2) evaluation of the effect of different crude oil remediation intervention values (CRIV) on selected vegetables (Brassica juncea, Brassica oleracea, Lactuca sativa and two different cultivars of Solanum lycoper

Abstract:

Thesis (PhD (Forest and Wood Science))—University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>Sustainable livestock production in semi-arid Botswana could be improved through tree planting on-farm to provide much needed protein and shade. Such action can be encouraged if the growth, productivity, nutritional value of trees and their contribution to mass gain of livestock are known.. A study at Malotwana investigated two indigenous species, Acacia galpinii and Faidherbia albida, and two exotic species, Leucaena diversifolia and L. leucocephala, at three spacings in a randomised complete block design replicated f

Abstract:

A series of studies are presented on the genetic evaluation of cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of selection at various stages of a breeding programme. The central theme was the use of correlated data, such as relationship information and spatial and across-trial correlations, within a linear mixed modelling framework to enhance the evaluation of candidate genotypes and to improve the genetic response to selection. Analyses focused on several social and economically-important traits for the enhancement of the nutritional value, disease resistance
