Donkor, Joseph. "Evaluation of the Potential for Direct-Fed Microbials to Enhance Utilization of Phosphorus in Broiler Chickens." Thesis, Tennessee State University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10641460.

Feed accounts for about 60–68% of the total cost of poultry production. Chicken cannot efficiently absorb organic or phytin-bound phosphorus, thus about 70–80% of dietary or plant based phosphorus is excreted in the manure of broiler chickens. The goal of this research was to identify microbes with the potential to improve utilization of a plant source of phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of broilers.

A total of 8,082 sequences were obtained using a metagenomic approach, with 61% of those sequences representing 5,030 species of various bacterial organisms. The highest proportion of bacteria was Massilia which represented 46% of the total dominant microbial population, Bacteroides (9%), Streptomyces (6%), Bacillus (6%), and 18 different species each constituting less than 5% of these dominant microbes. Three microbes Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Bifidobacterium (LEB) with the potential to hydrolyze free phosphorus were isolated and characterized. The isolated microorganisms maintained the ability to grow at all the different pH ranges (1–5), and bile concentrations of 0–3.5%. Also, the ability of the bacteria to hydrolyze free phosphorus was evaluated in-vitro. The effect of the three bacteria on performance of 400 day- old Ross broilers was evaluated during an eight-week period. The results indicated that broiler chickens fed probiotic bacteria at the rate of 100 or 150 mg/kg of feed consumed 12.0% and 17.8% more feed, respectively, and increased body weight gain by 5.9% and 8.4%, respectively, when compared with the control birds. Broiler chickens fed diets containing the probiotics at 100 or 150 mg/kg of feed retained 15.2% and 17.5% of phosphorus as against 8.6 % for the birds on the diets without the bacteria. Except for birds on dietary treatment LEB-150, which had a higher mortality (7.3%), the remaining six dietary treatments had mortality ranging from 2.0–3.3% which was less than that of the controls birds (4.5%).

Hernandez, Ricardo. "Growth and development of greenhouse vegetable seedlings under supplemental LED lighting." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3600283.

The greenhouse industry is interested in light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source supplement to solar light to improve plant growth and development. Before LEDs can be adopted as supplemental light for greenhouse crops, plant responses to LED spectral quality need to be investigated. Tomato and cucumber seedlings were grown under different supplemental blue and red photon flux ratios (B:R ratios) under high (16-19 mol m –2 d –1 ) and low (5-9 mol m –2 d –1 ) solar daily light integrals (DLIs). The supplemental daily light integral was 3.6 mol m –2 d –1 . A treatment without supplemental light served as a control. Both tomato and cucumber seedlings had increased growth rate and improved morphology when grown under the supplemental LED light compared to the control. However, no significant differences were observed for any growth and morphological parameters measured in this study between the different B:R ratios for both cucumber and tomato transplants under high DLI conditions. Cucumber seedlings showed a tendency to decrease dry mass, leaf number and leaf area under low DLI conditions with increasing B:R ratio. Tomato seedlings did not show any differences between the different B:R ratios under low DLI conditions. Seedlings growth and morphology under supplemental LED light were compared to those under supplemental high pressure sodium (HPS) light. Cucumber seedlings under supplemental HPS light had greater shoot dry mass than those under the supplemental red LED light. Tomato shoot dry mass showed no differences between the HPS and red LED supplemental light treatments. Cucumber seedlings were also grown under supplemental LED pulsed lighting and supplemental LED continuous lighting. Cucumber seedlings showed no differences in shoot dry mass and net photosynthetic rate between the treatments. Collectively, these studies concluded that red LED is preferred for supplemental lighting and the increase of blue light does not offer any benefits unless the efficiency of blue LEDs largely exceeds the red LEDs. The results of this research can be used for fixture development by LED manufactures and as a decision making tool for the adoption of supplemental LED lighting by greenhouse growers.

Siqueira, Rafael Telles Tenorio de. "Characterizing nitrogen deficiency of maize at early growth stages using fluorescence measurements." Thesis, Colorado State University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10138898.

Among all nutrients that are important for crop production, nitrogen (N) is one of the least efficiently utilized, mainly due to its high mobility in soil. The possibility of using crop sensing in real-time to detect variability in N deficiency within a field has the potential to enhance N efficiency, increase crop yield, and reduce potential environmental risks and crop production costs. Potassium (K), another important crop nutrient, can also lead to higher yield when applied in the right amount and manner. Real-time fluoro-sensing is a new technology for crop sensing and studies have shown that it could enable variable rate nutrient management for precision agriculture practices. The objective of this study was (1) to evaluate if fluorescence sensing can detect variability of N and K in crop canopy at early growth stages of maize (prior to V6 crop growth stage) under controlled condition (greenhouse), (2) to evaluate the effect of different fertilization dosages of N over the plant growth, and (3) to verify if induced fluorescence can detect in situ N variability at early growth stages of maize. Research was conducted in two stages, first in a greenhouse condition and later in field spread over three site-years. The greenhouse research was conduct in year 2011 and plants were grown in plant-pots with silica sand and supplied with modified Hoagland solution with different rates of N and K. Field trials were conducted in year 2012 and 2013 in northern Colorado. For the greenhouse study, data collected via fluorescence sensor (Multiplex ® 3) were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD to test significant differences among treatments in each experiment. For the N experiment, regression analysis between the seven fluorescence indices and N uptake was performed for the 12 days of data acquisition at five different growth stages (i.e. 2-leaf to 6-leaf growth stages) and coefficient of determination was used to identify the best fluorescence indices to detect N status. Also, root mean square error (RMSE) was used to test the precision of the estimates for each index. Results of this study indicated that all fluorescence indices were able to detect N variability in maize canopy prior to V2 growth stage. However, the fluorescence indices failed to identify K deficiency as the maize plants with K treatments showed small variability at early crop growth stages. For the field study, two site-years had 5 N rate treatments applied as UAN 32% (urea ammonium nitrate; 32-0-0), while one site-year had 6 N treatments applied pre-planting. Sensors used in this study were the Multiplex ® 3 for fluorescence sensing and the GreenSeeker ® for reflectance sensing (NDVI). Sensor measurements were correlated with aboveground biomass, N content, and N uptake measured at two growth stages (V6 and V9 maize growth stage). The aboveground biomass, N content, N uptake, yield, and sensors readings were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD to test significant differences among the N treatments. Also, a regression tree between N uptake and the fluorescence indices was fitted along with the coefficient of determination (R 2 ). The N rates had no effect on aboveground biomass, N content and N uptake (for both sampled growth stages). Under field conditions, fluorescence indices failed to detect N variability in maize at early growth stages for all three site-years. This finding may require further investigation, as for most of the N treatment plots, maize plants had sufficient N levels and another biotic or abiotic stress may be responsible for unexplained differences in N variability as measured by fluorescence sensor. Contrasting findings under greenhouse conditions versus field conditions limit the application of fluorosensing sensor. Further field studies are needed to evaluate the potential of this sensor for detecting N variability in situ.
