Conventional juices settle regardless of the production method used. In order to achieve a complete homogenization, it often requires chemical additives. In a world increasingly conscious of its food consumption, we expect to explore a new way of producing homogeneous juice, without additives, by using a mechanical mixer and refine

Yields of field crops in Indo-Gangetic plains of India have decreased due to the advent of increasing water scarcity in this century. The water is a very limiting input in this region for the crop production; its efficiency is quite low in the range 30–40 per cent, thereby about 60–70

Impact of Chlorpyrifos (50g a.i. /ha), dimethoate (280g a.i./ha), cypermethrin (75g a.i./ha) and cypermethrin + dimethoate (37.5 + 140g a.i./ha) applied at mid – vegetative, 50% flowering and 50% podding on the population of pest and beneficial insect species on soybean was assessed at the Teaching and Research Farm of

Tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges this generation faces. African countries, Nigeria inclusive are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their dependence on rain fed agriculture, high levels of poverty, low levels of human and physical capital, inequitable land distribution and poor infrastructure.

We assessed the effect of calcium-based anti-stress and fertilization products on cocoa diseases, yield and quality. Calcium levels in cocoa seeds were elevated by up to 25% w/w. Cocoa bean defects, pod index, pH and organoleptic parameters were unaffected by treatments. Impaction did not improve yield (average 179.6 kg ha-1
