Agricultural Research Updates : Volume 21

In Chapter One, Gerhard Gramss and Klaus-Dieter Voigt study the theory that production of high-productivity grain crops and their locally acclimatised land strains must be stretched to low-value croplands that are radical in both mineral composition and contamination. In Chapter Two, Wander Luis Barbosa Borges, PhD, Isabela Malaquias Dalto de Souza, Marlene Cristina Alves, PhD, and Marco Eustáquio de Sá, PhD present a study involving the surveying of physical and chemical traits of soil in sustainable systems. Additionally, Ivica Đalović, Srđan eremeić, Miroslav Zorić, and Goran Bekavac present a study on maize yield stability in relative to the environment in Chapter Three. In Chapter Four, Masmoudi Charfi Chiraz, Ayadi Mohamed, Ben Abdallah Sirine, Oueslati Amira, and Belhadj Ismail Emna evaluate the oil composition of local versus foreign cultivars grown in the same environment. In Chapter Five, Shanthi Joseph, Zaynab Derakhshani, Daniel John Murphy, and Mrinal Bhavea provide an overview of the disparities in glycine betaine accumulation in plants and the way this contributes to abiotic stress tolerance. Lastly, Natalia Girardi, María Alejandra Passone, Daiana García, Andrea Nesci, and Miriam Etcheverry review the microencapsulation technology of selected oils tested in vitro and in situ in their laboratory.
