The purpose of this research is to measure the economic performance and development of rainbow trout farming in inland waters in Turkey. As a result of the research, it was determined that the farms use an average of 82% of their capacities. There was a negative relationship between the farm-scale and CUR, and as the farm scale grows, the CUR decreases. The average feed conversion rate (FCR) of the enterprises was calculated as 1.12. Fish capital (36.8%) had the largest share in active capital, and equity capital (87.2%) had the largest share in passive capital. Net profits of farms falling to one-tonne production capacity; it was calculated as 2.374 TRY in small-scale farms, 1.322 TRY in medium-scale farms and 1.896 TRY in large-scale farms. The proportional profit of farms was 1.08, 0.99, and 1.17, respectively. The average current ratio value of the examined farms was calculated as 3.67 and liquidity ratios as 3.55. As the farm's scale grows, current ratio values also increase, and large-scale farms had more cash assets than small and medium-scale farms. As a result of the research; It can be said that the trout-breeding farms in Turkey have current assets that can pay their short term debts. The average borrowing rate of farms was 0.16. In other words, 16% of the financial assets of the trout farms in Turkey were met from debts. The turnover rate of the assets of the farms was 0.79 and is below the sector average. The average rate of economic profitability of farms was calculated as 0.13. In other words, the income that farms generate from aquaculture is more than the opportunity cost.

Abstract Some unappropriated techniques are found in bell pepper agricultural management. Those are: non-balancing nutritional profile among soil contribution, crop requirements and fertilizer efficiency, excessive use of composite sources and the lack of availability of studies on recommendations in different environments where this crop is grown. In order to mitigate the inadequate techniques in the agronomic management of bell pepper, an evaluation of four fertilization treatments under open field and protected conditions with plastic cover was conducted. Nathalie cultivar was grown during 2014-B and 2015-A at "Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria", -CORPOICA research center, located in Llanogrande, township of Rionegro (Antioquia, Colombia). The treatments (T) evaluated were: T1: 250, 75, 180 and 90; T2: 170, 50, 120 and 60; T3, 100, 40, 80 and 40 and T4: 60, 25, 50 and 25 kg.ha-1 of N, P2O5, K2O and MgO, respectively. T2 and T4 correspond to crop requirements established by previous research. In addition, simple sources were used as follows: Urea, DAP, Potassium chloride and Magnesium sulphate, which were arranged in a split-plot design. For the relative crop growth rate (TCR) and yield variables, differences were shown under two evaluated conditions. In open field condition, the highest production and stem diameter were recorded; there were not differences among treatments. T3 is recommended because it showed similar yield to the other three ones. This Treatment allowed reestablishing and maintaining soil fertility levels, with a rational, efficient and low use of fertilizers, without generating contamination and salinity problems. | Resumen Buscando mitigar la implementación de técnicas inadecuadas para el manejo agronómico del pimentón como el no balanceo nutricional entre lo aportado por el suelo, los requerimientos del cultivo y la eficiencia de los fertilizantes, el uso excesivo de fuentes compuestas y la no disponibilidad de estudios sobre recomendaciones en los diferentes ambientes donde se desarrolla. Se realizó la evaluación de cuatro tratamientos de fertilización bajo condiciones de campo abierto y protegido bajo cubierta plástica, con el cultivar Nathalie, durante el 2014-B y 2015-A, en el Centro de Investigación La Selva de CORPOICA, Rionegro - Antioquia, Colombia. Los tratamientos (T) evaluados fueron: T1: 250, 75, 180 y 90; T2: 170, 50, 120 y 60; T3: 100, 40, 80 y 40 y T4: 60, 25, 50 y 25 kg.ha-1 de N, P2O5, K2O y MgO, respectivamente. T2 y T4 corresponden a requerimientos del cultivo establecidos por investigaciones anteriores. Se emplearon como fuentes simples: Urea, DAP, Cloruro de potasio y Sulfato de magnesio; en un diseño de parcelas divididas. Para las variables tasa de crecimiento relativo del cultivo (TCR) y rendimiento, se presentaron diferencias bajo las dos condiciones evaluadas. En Campo Abierto, se registró la mayor producción y diámetro de tallos; no se presentaron diferencias entre los tratamientos evaluados. Se recomienda el T3 que mostró rendimientos similares a los otros tres, permitió reestablecer y mantener los niveles de fertilidad del suelo, con un uso racional, eficiente y bajo de los fertilizantes, sin generar problemas de contaminación y salinidad.

In this study, the change of farmer behaviour, which is thought to change slowly, over a 30 period, was evaluated in terms of information sources. In the study, the change in farmer attitudes with a longitudinal approach was designed in a process, and the data obtained from the same farmers and the same questionnaire forms were changed over time. A survey conducted in 1989 was repeated in the same region, in the same survey forms and in the same sample group (66 farmers) in 2019. In the analysis phase of the data obtained from the surveys, Multiple Compliance Analysis Technique was used. In the Polatlı District of Ankara Province, the long-term approach of 66 farmers, especially the changes in information sources and the non-logging habits of their businesses, has been determined with a longitudinal approach. The research results revealed that urban people have become close to rural areas and agriculture, and that their farmers have become close to district and provincial centres. As in all economic activities, research results support that the same jobs in agriculture for the long time do not have the opportunity to do the same and to be content with the knowledge left from the ancestor. This result is the most concrete indication that knowledge-based agriculture has become inevitable in every respect.

The article presents changes that occurred in the production of electricity from renewable energy sources in the EU-28 and in Poland in the years of 2010-2015. The analysis of the changes was based on the data from Eurostat and the Local Data Bank. Based on the indicator of the share of electricity generated from renewable sources in gross electricity consumption, Poland in the period under discussion, was characterized as one of the highest dynamics of change among all EU countries. In addition, the article analyzes the situation concerning the production of electricity in Poland in the regional aspect. From the taken analyzes, it is clear that in all voivodeships, apart from Małopolskie voivodeship, in 2015, more electricity was produced from renewable sources compared to 2010. In the period under discussion, the share of electricity production from renewable sources in total electricity production also increased by 99% in Poland. / Synopsis. W artykule przedstawiono zmiany jakie nastąpiły w zakresie produkcji energii elektrycznej z odnawialnych źródeł energii w krajach UE-28 oraz w Polsce w latach 2010-2015. Analizę zmian przeprowadzono na podstawie danych z Eurostatu oraz Banku Danych Lokalnych. W oparciu o wskaźnik określający udział energii elektrycznej wytwarzanej ze źródeł odnawialnych w zużyciu energii elektrycznej brutto wykazano, iż Polska charakteryzowała się w omawianym okresie jedną z najwyższych dynamik zmian spośród wszystkich państw UE. Ponadto w artykule zanalizowano sytuację dotyczącą produkcji energii elektrycznej w Polsce w przekroju regionalnym. Z podjętych w tym zakresie analiz wynika, iż we wszystkich województwach oprócz małopolskiego w 2015 r. produkowano więcej energii elektrycznej ze źródeł odnawialnych w porównaniu do 2010 r. W omawianym okresie również o 99% wzrósł w Polsce udział produkcji energii elektrycznej ze źródeł odnawialnych w produkcji energii elektrycznej ogółem.

Rainbow trout, a salmonid species has an economic importance worldwide and contributes to the indigenous food security. The present study was conducted in complete randomized design (CRD) to evaluate the dietary inclusion of citric acid with phytase as supplement on growth responses of rainbow trout. There were four treatments of diets with 0.5% citric acid (T1), 1% citric acid (T2), 1.5% citric acid (T3) and 0% control (T4) of citric acid incorporated with 1200FYT phytase as supplement. The treatments were replicated three times. Total harvest weight of fish in T3 (5720.2±105.6g) was significantly higher and different than T2 (4595.9±434.9g), T1 (4589.8±240.2g) and T4 (4567.5±217.3g). The highest daily growth rate was seen in treatment T3 (1.1±0.0) which was significantly different than T2 (0.9±0.0), T1 (0.9±0.0) and T4 (0.8±0.0). The highest specific growth rate was seen in the treatment T3 (0.8±0.01) which was significantly different than T1 (0.7±0.0), T2 (0.7±0.1) and T4 (0.7±0.0). The lowest food conversion ratio was seen in T3 (2.2±0.1) which was significantly different with T2 (2.6±0.1), T1 (2.7±0.1) and T4 (2.8±0.1). Similarly, the highest protein efficiency ratio was seen in treatment T3 (1.0±0.1) which was not significantly different with T2 (0.8±0.0) and T1 (0.8±0.1) but was significantly different than T4 (0.7±0.0). No significant changes were observed in water temperature, dissolve oxygen and pH under different treatments. The present findings demonstrated that dietary inclusion of citric acid with phytase as supplement enhance growth by reducing the pH in the gut which increases the phytate hydrolysis, kills the pathogens, decreases the rate of gastric emptying, improves mineralization and nutrient absorption.

The article aims to introduce the issue of food waste and all attempts to prevent action. Business and politics are almost interdependent, and any discussion of an economic nature is not complete without a political contribution. The role of politics and politicians in shaping economic activities was and is widely discussed. In the article, there will be a discussion on the problems of food losses and waste in Poland as the member of EU and in India. The idea of the topic came during the tenure of collaboration between representatives of both departments. Conclusions of the study found some similarities and a lot of differences between the countries. Studies have shown that negative attitude of house-hold towards food waste is not frequently reflected in consumers’ behavior, despite their fundamental knowledge on how to reduce food waste. Properly selected and presented information will stimulate both consumer’s attitude and behavior.

Se evaluaron el uso de recursos y la sostenibilidad de tres sistemas agroforestales (bosque secundario- BS, tala y quema-TQ y sistema conservacionista Quesungual-SAQ). Se utilizaron datos de 15 parcelas de 200 m² ubicadas entre 14° 05' N y 88° 30' W y transformicidades reportadas en otros estudios. Los mayores valores de emergía se presentaron en la variable Lluvia (1.35E15 sej/ha por año) y las mayores diferencias de emergía entre sistemas se observaron en suelo erosionado, especialmente en TQ, BS y SAQ tuvieron mayor Razón de Carga Ambiental que TQ (0.63, 0.14 y 0.02, respectivamente). El sistema TQ presenta el valor más alto del índice de Huella Ecológica seguido por SAQ y BS. El índice de Sostenibilidad de Emergía del sistema TQ fue 34.8, el de SAQ = 135.6 y el de BS = 4123.8, con mayores valores de sostenibilidad en el SAQ y el BS, lo cual indica que son sistemas que favorecen el uso de recursos renovables y locales. | Resource use and sustainability of three agroforestry systems (Secondary Woods - BS; Fell and Burn - TQ; and Quesungal Conservation mode - SAQ) were evaluated by analyzing data from fifteen 200 m² plots (14° 05' N; 88° 30' W), making use of transformity values reported in other related studies. The highest emergy values were observed for the variable rain (1.35E15 sej/ha per year); and the largest emergy differences were found in eroded soils, especially those of TQ. BS and SAQ exhibited a greater Environmental Load Ratio than TQ (0.63, 0.14 and 0.02, respectively). TQ showed the largest Ecological Footprint Index value, followed by SAQ and BS. Emergy Sustainability Index for TQ was 34.8, whereas SAQ and BS reached respective values of 135.6 and 4,123.8. The latter two data, as compared to the former, reveal how these systems (SAQ and BS) favor the use of local renewable resources.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of oestru synchronization on the fertility of hair goats during the breeding season. Animal material of this experiment consisted of 200 heads of hair goats between 3 and 5 years of age. The animals were divided into two groups, (Control group, KG, n = 100; Oestrus synchronization group, KS, n = 100). The animals in the KS group received intravaginal sponges containing 30 mg flugestone acetate which removed after 12 days and 500 IU of PMSG/per animal administered IM. The animals in both groups were mated using bucks for 4 days. The single birth rate was 72% in the KG and 35% in the KS group. Fecundity and litter size were 1.20 and 1.59 in the control group and 1.25 and 1.64 in the KS group, respectively. As a result, the application of oestrus synchronization in hair goats during the breeding season improved the fertility.

Muestras de los primeros 20 cm de la superficie de dos suelos en CIAT-Palmira (Calciustol y Haplustol, vérticos mezclados francos isohipertérmicos con pendiente 0.5%), utilizados en coberturas tanto de bosque secundario como de cultivos diversos por más de cincuenta años consecutivos, fueron compactados en el aparato de Richards bajo dos condiciones de humedad (0.1 y 0.5 bar) para comparar el punto de máxima compactación, y su influencia en la variación de la densidad aparente, la tasa de difusión de oxígeno, la porosidad de aireación, la conductividad hidráulica saturada y el módulo de ruptura. Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar con arreglo factorial (dos suelos, por dos usos, por dos humedades) con tres repeticiones. Para la separación de medias se utilizó la prueba de Duncan (P < 0.05). El estudio concluye que los altos contenidos de M.O. no siempre evitan la degradación del suelo por efecto del tráfico de maquinaria en contenidos de humedad altos; independientemente del uso, el Calciustol más limoso tuvo ligeramente mayor potencial a la compactación que el Haplustol; y el cultivo continuado de los dos suelos los ha hecho más susceptibles al daño físico, ya que en estado muy húmedo, se compactaron al extremo y mostraron el deterioro físico que en la práctica puede acarrear el tráfico de maquinaria sobre el suelo, y en estado húmedo se compactaron moderadamente. | Samples from the top 20 cm of two soils in CIAT Palmira (Calciustoll and Haplustoll both vertic mixed loamy isohipertermic 0.5% slope) used in both secondary forest cover and diverse crops for more than fifty consecutive years were compacted into the apparatus of Richards at two soil moisture contents (0.1 and 0.5 bar) to compare the point of maximum soil compaction and its influence in the soil bulk density changes, rate of oxygen diffusion, aeration porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity and rupture modulus. A complete randomized design with factorial arrangement was used which consisted of 2 soils x 2 uses x 2 soil moisture content x 3 repetitions and means separated by Duncan probe. The study showed that high soil content of O.M. do not always prevent soil degradation due to of agricultural machinery traffic at high soil moisture contents. Irrespective of soil use, siltier Calciustoll had a slightly more potential to compaction than Haplustol, and continued cultivation of the two soils has made them more susceptible to physical damage, because in wet condition compacted to the extreme and showing physical degradation which in practice may result from traffic on soils, and in moist state, compacted moderately.

In this study, tetracycline and streptomycin group antibiotic residues were investigated in packaged and open sold honey. For this purpose, a total of 60 honey samples, which were 30 of each were used as material. Honey samples were taken from various sales places located in Sivas province. ELISA method was used for the analysis and commercial test kits were used. According to the analysis results; tetracycline was found in 73.3% (22 samples) of the packaged honey and streptomycin was found in all samples. Tetracycline and streptomycin were determined as positive in open honeys were respectively 60% (18 samples) and 93.3% (28 samples). Tetracycline levels were between 0.12-371.43 ppb (mean 13.91 ± 12.33) in packaged honey and 0.02-13.32 ppb (mean 1.75 ± 0.5) in open honeys. Streptomycin levels were 1.30-250.2 ppb (mean 25.8 ± 10.8) in packaged honey and 0.19-22.71 ppb (mean 8.21 ± 5.2) in open honeys. Antibiotic residue was not found in one sample of open honeys. The findings suggest that, although illegal, some medicines are used in beekeeping or that bees are exposed to antibiotics that are added to the feed or water of other animals. These findings pose a potential risk to the consumer.

Resumen Los taladradores de la caña de azúcar Diatraea spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) son importantes plagas de la caña de azúcar en Venezuela. El uso de cultivares resistentes forma parte del manejo integrado para el control de esos insectos en muchos países. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron evaluar un grupo de genotipos de caña de azúcar a los daños de Diatraea spp. en varios ambientes y determinar la interacción entre los daños causados por el complejo de insectos del genero Diatraea y los componentes de rendimiento. Los datos fueron recolectados en cinco localidades evaluadas por el programa venezolano de mejoramiento de la caña de azúcar. Veinte genotipos fueron evaluados al daño de Diatraea spp. en cinco localidades en un diseño de bloques al azar con tres repeticiones. La tasa de intensidad de infestación (II) causada por Diatraea spp. fue analizada mediante los modelos AMMI y GGE biplot. Los genotipos más recomendados por su estabilidad, buen rendimiento y menor daño por taladradores del tallo a través de los ambientes fueron: V99-236, V00-50 y V99-190. El cultivar CP74-2005 fue el más afectado por el daño de Diatraea spp. a través de las localidades. La intensidad de la infestación (II) y el índice de daño (ID) estuvieron altamente asociados. Altas tasas de intensidad de infestación (II) e índice de daño (ID) causado por Diatraea afectaron el Pol % caña de los genotipos. | Abstract Diatraea spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) or sugarcane stem borers are important sugarcane pests in Venezuela. The use of resistant cultivars is part of an integrated management to control these insects in many countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate a group of sugarcane genotypes for Diatraea damage in several environments, and to assess the interaction among damage caused by Diatraea and yield components. Data were collected from five sugarcane field trials located in plots belonging to the Venezuelan Sugarcane Breeding Program. Twenty genotypes were evaluated for Diatraea damage in a completely randomized block design with three replicates. AMMI and GGE biplot analyses were executed for infestation intensity (II). Genotypes that showed best stability, good yield and low damage from Diatraea spp. across environments were V99-236, V00-50 and V99-190. Cultivar CP74-2005 was the most affected by injuries of sugarcane stem borers throughout locations. Intensity of infestation (II) and index of damage (ID) were highly associated. Furthermore, high intensity of infestation (II) and index of damage (ID) caused by Diatraea disturbed the Pol % cane of the genotypes.
