A nation’s health and mental strength depend on its food consumption which is one of the main conditions for the full functioning of the human body. In modern times, the demand for sour milk products has increased significantly due to their dietary and medicinal features. The research object was pure cow’s milk, almond milk, almond flour, and samples of sour milk products. During the work, a study of the physicochemical and sensory indicators of the raw materials added almond milk, and the finished product was performed. Based on the sensory and physicochemical indicators of the product, the optimal dosages are as 70 % of cow’s milk, 30 % of almond milk, and 1.5 % of almond flour were determined. Based on the above, it is recommended to introduce the developed technology of lactic acid products in production, which will complement the assortment of sour milk products, enrich the chemical composition of the product, and increase the body’s resistance and digestibility.

The second part of the article series is about the study of the influence of yeast and autolyzed yeast derivative on red wines’ qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Wine samples in which the preparation process was explained in the first part of the article were investigated. Wine coloring and phenolic compounds were measured. Organoleptic properties of the wines are presented as spider graphs with tasting notes.

Drought is one of the main abiotic stresses that depends on soil type and rainfall patterns on agrarian land. However, it is mainly responsible for major yield losses in crops. Climate change further compounds the challenges to advanced crop yields. Failure stress reduces crop yield. This research was conducted on grain yield in fifteen Armenian and Iranian wheat varieties to evaluate grain yield and drought tolerance indices. The study was performed with three replications under normal and drought-stress conditions for two years. According to grain yield, eight drought tolerance indices are estimated, including stress tolerance (STI), tolerance index (TOL), stress susceptibility index (SSI), mean productivity (MP), harmonic mean (HM), geometric mean (GMP), yield index (YI), and drought index (DI) for all varieties. The combination of yield analysis, eight drought tolerance indices, and correlation revealed that Navid, Voskehask, Sabalan, and Zare varieties were desirable for drought tolerance. Other varieties were identified as semi-tolerant and sensitive to drought stress.

Agriscience Mechanics is an exciting new approach that connects important science principles with mechanical skills. This approach adds meaning and excitement to the traditional areas of agricultural mechanics. It is right in line with the expectations of agricultural industry. - Preface.

Presents a modern approach to the agricultural industry, including horticulture, forestry, natural resources, and the environment, with emphasis on the basics of plant and animal production.

This new Fifth Edition provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the agriculture industry. Updated photos and easy-to-understand text introduce students to a variety of interesting agriscience concepts and skills, including agriscience career clusters and pathways, how science is used in agriculture, real-world applications of agriscience, and what it means to be a professional in the agriscience industry. New chapters on leadership and student organizations such as FFA have been added with a focus on developing the traits that define a successful member of the agriscience community. Expanded coverage of genetics, biotechnology, food safety, entomology, and agricultural mechanics makes this edition a comprehensive learning tool for students interested in an agriscience career. - Back cover.

AgriScience Explorations, Second Edition is for you -- a student who is beginning to study agriculture. It uses approaches and content for grades 7 through 9. Photographs have been used to make your study more exciting. Many of these feature young people. This will help you see how you can be a part of today's agricultural industry. A modern approach to the agricultural industry is used in the book. Horticulture, forestry, natural resources, and the environment are included. Of course, the basics of plant and animal production are emphasized. The content is based on areas of science. The book has several chapters on being successful in agricultural education. It includes areas of personal development, such as leadership. - Preface.
