Pratiques d’élevages et performances des génisses laitières : état des connaissances et perspectives by Y. LE COZLER, J.R. PECCATTE, J.Y. PORHIEL, P. BRUNSCHWIG, C. DISENHAUS

“…Dans le cas d’un vêlage à 30 ou 36 mois des rythmes de croissance plus modérés, notamment en période de stabulation, sont possibles, à condition de ne pas descendre trop bas en terme de croissance journalière (400 g/j ou moins), pour ne pas affecter la reproduction et la carrière des vaches. Les régimes alimentaires à base d’herbe et exploitant les capacités de croissance compensatrice des animaux permettent de réduire significativement et efficacement les coûts d’élevage. …”

What controls the stable isotope composition of precipitation in the Mekong Delta? A model-based statistical approach by N. Le Duy, N. Le Duy, I. Heidbüchel, H. Meyer, B. Merz, B. Merz, H. Apel

“…<br><br> The results indicate that (i) MLR can better explain the isotopic variation in precipitation (<i>R</i>²  =  0.8) compared to single-factor linear regression (<i>R</i>²  =  0.3); (ii) the isotopic variation in precipitation is controlled dominantly by regional moisture regimes (∼&thinsp;70 %) compared to local climatic conditions (∼&thinsp;30 %); (iii) the most important climatic parameter during the rainy season is the precipitation amount along the trajectories of air mass movement; (iv) the influence of local precipitation amount and temperature is not significant during the rainy season, unlike the regional precipitation amount effect; (v) secondary fractionation processes (e.g., sub-cloud evaporation) can be identified through the d-excess and take place mainly in the dry season, either locally for <i>δ</i>¹⁸O and <i>δ</i>²H, or along the air mass trajectories for d-excess. …”

Pyramiding Submergence Tolerance and Three Bacterial Blight Resistance Genes in Popular Rice Variety Hasanta through Marker-Assisted Backcross Breeding by Goutam Das, Banshidhar Pradhan, Debendranath Bastia, Sanghamitra Samantaray, Debarchana Jena, Diptibala Rout, Paduranga Bhagwan Arsode, Vineeta Singh, Arup Kumar Mukherjee, Chander Mohan, Ramlakhan Verma

“…Physiological analysis revealed that improved NILs, carrying <i>Sub1</i> gene conquered adaptive physiological modulations, had reduced the consumption of soluble sugar and the degradation of total chlorophyll contents (TCC), and an enhanced level of Alcohol Dehydrogenase activity (ADH) and proline accumulation in all submergence regimes. The pyramided lines attained complete product profile of RP, that will contribute to sustainable rice production under RSL, particularly in the coastal region that has substantial acreage under the variety Hasanta.…”

Evaluation of the results and analysis of the impact of the DCFTA with the EU on agricultural trade in Ukraine by Tamara Ostashko, Iryna Kobuta, Volodymyr Olefir, Hanna Lienivova

“…The analysis demonstrates the undoubted benefits of DCFTA for Ukrainian exporters of agricultural goods: (1) after the implementation of the DCFTA, there was an increase in both Ukraine’s agricultural exports to the EU and imports of agricultural products from the EU to Ukraine, and the resulting positive balance in agricultural trade in 2020 was 5.5 times higher than in 2009. (2) the average growth rate of Ukraine’s agricultural exports to the EU during the first 5 years of the Agreement (10.3 %) exceeded the average growth rate of agricultural imports from the EU to Ukraine (7.2 %). (3) during 2016–2020, Ukraine’s exports of agricultural goods to the EU grew faster than agricultural exports to the rest of the World, which indicates the high effectiveness of bilateral liberalization of foreign trade regimes. (4) the DCFTA with the EU has not yet resulted in significantly reduce of the share of agricultural raw materials (or low value-added primary goods) in Ukraine’s exports to the EU. (5) the potential for exports of Ukrainian agricultural products to the EU, including those produced by small and medium-sized agrobusinesses, has not been fully realized due to the low levels of tariff rate quotas, high level of EU import duty rates applied to quantities imported from Ukraine outside tariff quotas and long duration and high costs of the certification procedures for the export to the EU. (6) during the first 5 years of DCFTA implementation, there was no significant expansion of imports of agri-food products to the domestic market of Ukraine. …”

Farm Household Typology Based on Soil Quality and Influenced by Socio-Economic Characteristics and Fertility Management Practices in Eastern Kenya by Amos Wawire, Ádám Csorba, Mohammed Zein, Brian Rotich, Justine Phenson, Tamás Szegi, Eszter Tormáné Kovács, Erika Michéli

“…Delineation and characterization of farms based on the various parameters including resource endowment reveal imbalanced farm resource flows, suggesting a need for locally tailored interventions suited for location-specific conditions to facilitate improved targeting of soil fertility-enhancing technologies and sustainable crop production regimes. While fertilizer is one of the most critical inputs for enhancing agricultural production, it is a major contributor to nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture and can have negative environmental effects on soil biota and water sources. …”

“…The unique liposome display approach of ECV19, which lacks any immunogenic protein components besides the antigen itself, coupled with the lack of increased adverse events during boosting suggest the vaccine platform may be amenable to multiple boosting regimes in the future. Taken together, these findings motivate further investigation of ECV19 in larger scale clinical testing that is underway. …”
