American gangster: "Black Godfather" as a socio-cultural contradiction
Authors: Antonijević Dragana
Published: August 2017

The paper analyzes the film American Gangster (2007), directed by Ridley Scott. The film tells the story of the life of the black gangster Frank Lucas, an extraordinary, intelligent and capable man. At the beginning of the paper I give a comment on the reasons for choosing this particular film, after that I give a diegesis of the film which includes a brief biography of Frank Lucas which represents one of the contexts for the analysis and the basic synopsis of the film. After this, a generic analysis is applied – it gives the most important elements of the gangster film genre and their brief history, in order to convey which of these are present in the analyzed film. Within the confines of the genre, two specific issues are considered in detail: historical reconstruction and the mythologization of the gangster through the folklorization and popularization of the character. The contextual analysis is dedicated to the relationship between criminal activity, competition, aggression, and the "American dream" as an ideal and a way of life. On the other hand, the issue of ethnic and especially black criminal activity in American ghettos is considered as the context within which Lucas operated. The semantic analysis summarizes some of the basic socio-cultural contradictions in the movie, and determines its ideological framework and message.
Organizational trauma – Types of organizational forgetting in the case of Belgrade theaters
Authors: Dragićević Šešić Milena , Stefanović Milena
Published: August 2017

Organizational memory studies (OMS) frame memory in a managerial mode, treating it as a data storage, limiting the scope from wider field of social memory studies. There is a lack of understanding about how the process of institutional forgetting works and how some memories stay a part of oral narratives and communicative social memory while they are omitted from the official memory represented by the official documents and events of remembering. Inspired by Paul Connerton’s article on the typology of forgetting we explore his typology in selected case studies of three public theaters located in Belgrade, focusing on remembering policy and practices investigating if a type of forgetting typical for a state/society/nation level is possible to be applied in the context of a cultural organization. We agree with Wessel and Moulds that developing common language and terminology would be important and beneficial for cross disciplinary dialogue. In this sense, the study shows how the typology of forgetting in societies can be applied and developed in the organizational memory studies and cultural management. The focus of the research is the dynamics of remembering and forgetting explored through analysis of the interaction between changing context, official institutional memories, and social communicative memories.
Philosophical fantasy: Thinking utopian spaces and the space for utopian thought
Authors: Zaharijević Adriana , Krstić Predrag
Published: August 2017

The main question of this article is why imagine other worlds. In addition to shedding light on the motivation, we also examine the imaginative processes, their resources and the associative arrangements available to imagination in the construction of new worlds. We see ‘other worlds’ as both utopian and as fantastic spaces, following the hypothesis that the space of fantasy is never entirely free. We place particular emphasis on the space and time of utopia, and on the aspect of the novelty. The paper is divided into four parts. The first takes into account the path to the other world, or the methodical problem of imagination. The second wants to portray the other world, or the limitations to imagining something entirely different and new. The third part inquires about the cost of utopian thinking: what is lost in the process, what is sacrificed to its flattening gestures? Finally, despite all these limitations, in the fourth part we consider the significance of utopian thought for social theory.
The poor between the "culture of poverty" and Miracle in Milan
Authors: Gačanović Ivana
Published: August 2017

The issue of understanding, empathy and the relationship to the poor, the socially and economically marginalized segments of most contemporary societies, represents one of the most challenging political socio-economic, humanist, and scientific problems of today. The paper compares two ways of understanding and representing the urban poor - anthropological and cinematographic. The theoretical and practical achievements of Oscar Lewis and his idea of the "culture of poverty" are given as an example of the anthropological study and understanding of the poor. On the other hand, an analysis of the representation of the poor in Vittorio De Sica's film Miracle in Milan (1951) is given as an example of the cinematographic treatment of the issue. The aim of this comparison is the confronting of two viewpoints – one which aims to get to the scientific truth about poverty and the other – which gives a subjective artistic interpretation of the "old and romantic story about the rich man and the pauper" and the consideration of their cognitive and interpretative effects and potential for an anthropological theory and practice on the issue which would be "better" and wider in scope.
Having it all and not having yourself
Authors: Vladimira Ilić
Published: August 2017

The paper uses the example of the movie Happiness (1998) to analyze cultural ideas on which the (de)construction of a happy American family and happy individuals who "have everything" is based. The paper also analyzes the director's reflexive imagining of every character in the film, whose appearance is based on cultural attitudes and values of individuals, and which arises as an obstacle for establishing intimacy with other people and achieving happiness. Thus, this paper strives to show how culture paradoxically becomes "an obstacle to itself", or rather, how culturally determined attitudes about oneself and others function as an obstacle in achieving culturally determined goals and life purposes.
Of men and beasts: an anthropological analysis of the movie "Men and Chicken"
Authors: Kulenović Nina
Published: August 2017

Following the path established in Serbian anthropology by the subdiscipline of the anthropology of film, as well as the anthropological "section" for the study of science fiction, the analytical focus of this paper is the film Men and Chicken. Contrary to critics who saw in this film "an unreadable, morbid and cynical postmodern horror", the basic thesis of this paper is that the film helps us not only to question public ideas about science, but also to shed light on the hopes, fears and conceptual dilemmas caused by the advance of biotechnologies. It helps us to, using a product of popular culture close to the experience of the general public, analyze the way in which the imaginarium of the film deals with the "paradox at the heart" of western thought - the simultaneous claim that humans are animals and that animality is the polar opposite of what we hold to be human. The paradox in question need not be an intellectual chew toy for a bored mind, nor an opportunity for demonstrating the wondrous power of an analytical process of Levi-Straussian calibre, rather a very relevant question in current institutional and public discussions on creating hybrid embryos/species at the heart of which are attempts to establish the biological, moral and cultural status of humans, non-humans and hybrids.
Kubrick's Neobaroque Spectacle: An Aesthetic Analysis of Artificiality and Violence in "A Clockwork Orange"
Authors: Purić Biljana
Published: August 2017

This article examines Stanley Kubrick’s film A Clockwork Orange through the concept of neobaroque. Starting with the basic elements of mise-en-scène such as costumes, scenography, and positioning of the body inside the shots, the aesthetic analysis of the film will move towards more abstract concepts such as spectacle and violence. By identifying these elements inside the film, the film itself could be understood, I argue, as a neobaroque film. Neobaroque film neither refers to a genre or a period in film history. It is an aesthetic term, with implicit references to changes in modern society, denoting a specific but also dynamic constellation of expressive and thematic elements in a given film. Occasional references to Baroque art are included not to make closer ties between two periods or forms of expression, but to suggest and show more clearly where neobaroque concepts stand in relation to the Baroque ones. A Clockwork Orange is not of the only neobaroque film. However, one thing that singles out A Clockwork Orange, is the number of traits, or neobaroque topoi, which are condensed in it. In this article, I will point out the most prominent ones, which are firmly embedded in the aesthetics of the film.
Is there a gene for the human spirit? An analysis of the basic motifs and symbolism in the movie "Gattaca"
Authors: Stajić Mladen
Published: August 2017

Gattaca (1997) represents an artistic view of a dystopian future in which the genetic engineering of humans is commonplace. Through the analysis of the ways in which motifs of discrimination and disability are used in this film, wider societal implications of the development of science and the consideration of humanity in western culture are considered. The paper discusses the argumentation for the idea that gene modification means espousing the role of the Creator, and seeks answers to the question of what it means to be human in a genetically deterministic world. The issue of new kinds of discrimination in a potential post-racial world is highlighted, and the possibility of achieving authenticity and the freedom to create one's own identity in a society wherein designed people are the norm is considered. Finally, the ideas and conclusions of numerous authors who dealt with the world of Gattaca are presented, and a new point of view is offered - one which puts the focus on the religious symbolism in the film, a surprisingly neglected motif in previous analyses.
Compost Legacy Down‐Regulates Biological Nitrogen Fixation in a Long‐Term Field Experiment
Authors: Snapp Sieg , Wilke Brook , Gentry Lowell E. , Zoellner Danielle
Published: August 2017

Core Ideas

Compost‐based management enhanced soil organic matter in a Michigan Alfisol.

Nitrogen fixation rates in soybean and red clover varied with management history.

Weather markedly influenced the quantity of N fixed in three crop systems.

Soil labile pool influence on N fixation can act as an internal regulator.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a fundamental process relied on in agriculture, yet few field studies have examined regulation through soil inorganic N feedbacks or considered seasonal effects. In a Michigan long‐term field experiment we examined soil labile C and N pools and impact on BNF in two species, over multiple years. The 15N natural abundance method was used to quantify BNF, with nodulated and non‐nodulated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] isolines and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). Soil organic C status of plots was consistent with a gradient established through historical inputs: 0.8% (fertilizer management) to 0.9% (+ cover crop) to 1.2% (+ compost + cover crop). The fraction of nitrogen derived from atmosphere (fNdfa) in red clover and soybean over 3 yr was 61 to 58% with compost management, and 71 to 72% with fertilizer. This represented a downregulation of 19% (red clover) and 15% (soybean) in compost and cover crop managed plots, relative to inorganic fertilizer. In addition to management effects, we found that weather markedly influenced the total amount of N fixation over the 3 yr of the study. A mesic season supported vigorous soybean growth and 195 kg N ha−1 BNF, compared to 95 and 90 kg N ha−1 BNF in a dry and an excessively wet season. This study found that compost‐based management increased pools of labile C and N that internally downregulated BNF, while enhancing soybean yield compared to conventional management.
Planting Date and Fluopyram Seed Treatment Effect on Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome and Seed Yield
Authors: Vosberg Steven K. , Marburger David A. , Smith Damon L. , Conley Shawn P.
Published: August 2017

Planting date did not consistently influence sudden death syndrome development.

Fluopyram use led to increased yield in the highest symptom environment recorded in this study.

This study suggests that utilizing fluorpyram seed treatment can help maximize soybean yield.

A new commercially available fungicide seed treatment, fluopyram, has potential for allowing producers to utilize optimal soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] planting dates while simultaneously reducing the impact of sudden death syndrome (SDS). A study was conducted in 2015 and 2016 at three locations throughout Wisconsin (Arlington, Hancock, and East Troy) to examine interactions between planting date and fluopyram seed treatment use on SDS symptom development and soybean seed yield. Three seed treatments: (i) non‐treated (control); (ii) EverGol Energy + clothianidin + Bacillus firmus (Poncho/VOTiVO, P/V [Bayer CropScience, Research Triangle Park, NC]); and (iii) EverGol Energy + clothianidin + Bacillus firmus + fluopyram (Poncho/VOTiVO/ILeVO [Bayer CropScience, Research Triangle Park, NC], P/V/I) were tested on two cultivars that differed in SDS susceptibility. Experiments at Arlington and Hancock were planted on three target planting dates (1 May, 20 May, and 10 June). In 2015, fluopyram use decreased disease index (DX) by 92% at East Troy and 82% at Hancock in the 1 May planting date. However, a 7% yield response (330 kg ha−1) from fluopyram use was observed only at the East Troy location in 2015 which had the highest level of foliar symptom development recorded in this study. In 2016, fluopyram use decreased DX at Arlington by 100% in the May planting dates while no visual difference among treatments was found in the June planting date. These results indicated fluopyram decreases SDS symptom development, but a positive yield response was only observed with high levels of SDS foliar symptom development associated with earlier planting dates.
Within‐House Spatial Distribution of Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Poultry Litter

Published: August 2017

Land application of poultry litter is often considered to be a major source of water pollutants in poultry‐producing regions. However, reported levels of fecal indicator microorganisms in litter vary widely, with considerable variation possible within houses and across farms, depending on management practices. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the levels and distribution of indicator microorganisms within 12 broiler farms representing three companies. Within each house, litter samples were collected from around the feed line, water line, north wall, cool pad end, middle, and fan end. Litter moisture content was significantly different within the houses, with the litter being driest around the feed line (19.8%) and wettest around the water line (40.7%). Mean levels of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, enterococci, and Clostridium perfringens were 3.7, 3.3, 6.4, and 4.0 log10 colony‐forming units g−1 dry litter, respectively. Levels of total coliforms, E. coli, and C. perfringens were positively correlated with litter moisture content, but enterococci levels were not. Consequently, levels of total coliforms, E. coli, and C. perfringens, as well as enterococci, were highest around the water line and lowest around the feed line. These results indicate that areas with higher litter water content are more likely to contain higher levels of most fecal indicator microorganisms. Approaches to reduce litter water content in these areas would not only benefit the microbial quality of litter for land application but would also likely improve in‐house disease control.

Core Ideas

Total coliforms, E. coli, and C. perfringens correlated with litter water content.

Bacterial levels were highest around the water line and lowest around the feed line.

Reducing litter water content may improve microbial quality for land application.
Removal of an Acid Dye from Water Using Calcined and Uncalcined ZnAl‐r Anionic Clay
Authors: Bessaha Hassiba , Bouraada Mohamed , de Ménorval Louis Charles
Published: August 2017

The present report describes the removal of indigo carmine dye from water via adsorption on ZnAl‐r hydrotalcite. Two grades of clay based on Zn/Al molar ratios of 3 and 4, uncalcined and calcined, were used. The adsorbents characterization using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA and TGA, respectively) revealed a layered structure for the hydrotalcite clays, whereas their calcination favored the formation of ZnO and ZnAl2O4 mixed metal oxides. The calcined materials immobilized much larger amounts of indigo carmine dye than the uncalcined layered double hydroxides (LDHs) specimens. The maximum adsorption capacities obey the order: CZnAl‐4 (520.8 mg/g) > CZnAl‐3 (358.4 mg/g) > ZnAl‐3 (67.25 mg/g) > ZnAl‐4 (21.65 mg/g). The adsorption isotherms are best described by Langmuir model. The sorption process is spontaneous in nature and its kinetics data are best described by a pseudo‐second‐order model. Adsorption tests on re‐used calcined clays demonstrate its reusability after three thermal cycles.
Performance Study of a Low‐cost Adsorbent—Raw Date Pits—for Removal of Azo Dye in Aqueous Solution

Published: August 2017

The feasibility of using natural waste (raw date pits) as a low‐cost adsorbent for the adsorption of an anionic dye (Congo red) from aqueous solution has been investigated. Adsorption optimized conditions were obtained at low dose 1 g/L, initial dye concentration 100 mg/L, pH 2, equilibrium contact time 120 min, and temperature 20 °C. The corresponding adsorption capacity was around 70 mg/g and could reach 150 mg/g by increasing the ionic strength of the dye solution (0.05 M CaCl2). These results are well modeled by Freundlich isotherm and kinetics study followed by pseudo second‐order model. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption process is endothermic and not spontaneous. The tests of desorption‐regeneration showed that the studied adsorbent has the disadvantage of the loss of efficiency at its reuse but this is offset by its abundance. Based on these results, it can be used as competitive material for the removal of dyes.

Disertaciones sobre la evolutiva injerencia de la Corte Penal Internacional en Colombia
Authors: Barrero Velásquez María Teresa
Published: August 2017

La Corte Penal Internacional ha generado muchas expectativas en el mundo por la judicialización de las conductas violatorias al Derecho Internacional Humanitario y los Derechos Humanos, realizadas a título individual por personas pertenecientes a los Estados Partes que suscribieron y ratificaron el Estatuto de Roma. Por disertar se entiende aquí la ‘acción de razonar’; ‘discurrir detenida y metódicamente sobre alguna materia, bien sea para exponerla o bien para refutar opiniones ajenas’. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la injerencia que la Corte ha tenido en la evolución del derecho internacional, en relación con la protección del derecho internacional humanitario y de los derechos humanos en Colombia. Desde esta perspectiva, se estudian los orígenes de la Corte Penal Internacional, la implementación del Estatuto de Roma en Colombia, la importancia del bloque de constitucionalidad, las razones de su competencia, la palpabilidad del Estatuto en casos colombianos, y por último se realizará un análisis de la coloquialmente llamada ley de Justicia y Paz.

La Escuela Militar de 1880 a 1907: difícil transición
Authors: Esquivel Triana Ricardo
Published: August 2017

Entre 1880 y 1907 la Escuela Militar en Colombia funcionó de forma intermitente. Mostrar las dificultades que entonces tuvo para funcionar es el objetivo de este artículo. En lo metodológico se basó en el análisis de documentos del Archivo General de la Nación e impresos de la época (Boletín Militar, Diario Oficial e Informe del Ministro de Guerra), contrastados con las fuentes secundarias pertinentes. Se constata así que, entre 1880 y 1884, la Escuela continuó el proyecto que desde mediados del siglo XIX pretendía formar oficiales ingenieros para servir tanto en el ejército como en las obras públicas que demandaba el país. Luego, desde 1889 hasta 1907, se eliminaron las materias de ingeniería para enfatizar en la formación militar. La intermitencia en su funcionamiento se atribuye principalmente a falta de presupuesto, la que impuso tres cierres temporales. Tales crisis presupuestales también fueron detonante de guerra civil, tres en el período, prolongando aún más el cierre. No obstante, por la Escuela pasó un número de alumnos equivalente al 80% de los oficiales del ejército y muchos de aquellos destacaron como ingenieros y líderes en el desarrollo de Colombia a fines del siglo XIX.

A study on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for seed yield and component traits was made in 40 genotypes of riceduring kharif 2011-2012 at SHIATS, Allahabad. The analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among the treatments for all the 13 traits under study.The genotypes namely CN 1446-5-8-17-1-MLD4 and CR 2706 recorded highest mean performance for panicles per hill and grain yield. The highest genotypic and phenotypic variances (VG and VP) were recorded for spikelets per panicle (3595.78 and 3642.41) followed by biological yield (355.72 and 360.62) and plant height (231.48 and 234.35).High heritability (broad sense) coupled with high genetic advance was observed for plant height, flag leaf length, panicles per hill, tillers per hill, days to maturity, spikelet’s per panicle, biological yield, harvest index, 1000 grain weight and grain yield, indicating that selection will be effective based on these traits because they were under the influence of additive and additive x additive type of gene action. Highest coefficient of variation (PCV and GCV) was recorded for tillers per hill (18.42% and 17.23%), panicle per hill (19.76 % and 18.68%), spikelet’s per panicle (34.30 and34.07 %), biological yield (28.31 % and 28.12 %), 1000 grain weight (15.57 % and 15 31 %) and grain yield (46.66% and 23.54 %), indicating that these traits are under the major influence of genetic control, therefore the above mentioned traits contributed maximum to higher grain yield compared to other traits, indicating grain yield improvement through the associated traits.

A field experiment was carried out during the kharif of 2014 and 2015 to evaluate the yield potential, economics and thermal utilization in eleven finger millet varieties under the rainfed condition of the sub-humid environment of South Bihar of Eastern India. Results revealed that the significantly higher grain yield (20.41 q ha-1), net returns (Rs 25301) and B: C ratio (1.51) was with the finger millet variety ‘GPU 67’ but was being at par to ‘GPU28’and ‘RAU-8’, and significantly superior over remaining varieties. The highest heat units (1535.1oC day), helio-thermal units (7519.7oC day hours), phenothermal index (19.4 oC days day-1) were recorded with variety ‘GPU 67’ followed by ‘RAU 8’ and ‘GPU 28’ and lowest in ‘VL 149’ at 50 % anthesis stage. Similarly, the highest growing degree days (2100 oC day), helio-thermal units (11035.8 oC day hours) were noted with ‘GPU 67’ followed by ‘RAU 8’ and ‘GPU 28’ at maturity. The highest heat use efficiency (0.97 kg ha-1 oC day) and helio-thermal use efficiency (0.19 kg ha-1 oC day hour) were in ‘GPU 67’ followed by ‘VL 315’.

Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years at the research farm of Baba Raghav Das Post Graduate College, Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, India to evaluate the effect of different tillage practices on soil health andcrop productivity of wheat under the rice-wheat cropping system of Indo-Gangetic Plains of India under the irrigated ecosystem.Results revealed thattreatment T3 produced significantly higheryield attributes in terms of number of ear bearing shoots (407)as compared to T4(390). However, it was also recorded that the grain weight per spike and test weight were significantly lower in T3 and T4over rest of the practices. The similar trends were followed in case of grain yield under the T3 (45.60) being on a par with T4 (45.50 but it was recorded significantly superior over rest of the tillage practices. With respect to the soil physical and chemical properties, it was also noticed significantly higher under the treatment T4 as compared to other treatment.

Se evaluó el efecto de tres edades de rebrote (4, 8 y 12 semanas) sobre la producción de forraje, calidad nutricional y perfil de ácidos grasos en leguminosas herbáceas: Clitoria ternatea, Pueraria phaseoloides, Canavalia brasiliensis, Centrosema molle, Centrosema macrocarpum, Alysicarpus vaginalis y Lablab purpureus; en leguminosas arbustivas: Cratylia argentea, Gliricidia sepium, Desmodium velutinum, Cajanus cajan y Leucaena leucocephala; y en una arbustiva no leguminosa: Moringa oleifera (Moringaceae). Se utilizó un diseño de parcelas divididas con bloques al azar, en el cual la parcela principal fue la especie forrajera y la subparcela la edad de rebrote. Los principales ácidos grasos presentes en las especies fueron el ácido palmítico (C16:0), ácido linolénico (C18:3) y linoleico (C18:2). Sin embargo, en las leguminosas herbáceas y arbustivas, el contenido de ácidos grasos fue diferente y disminuyó con la edad de rebrote en los dos grupos. La relación C18:2/C18:3 fue mayor en las leguminosas herbáceas que en las arbustivas, lo cual podría resultar en una mayor concentración de ácido linoleico conjugado (ALC) en la grasa de la leche. La leguminosa Cajanus cajan presentó el mayor (p<0,05) contenido de ácido linolénico (C18:3) y de precursores de ALC en las tres edades de rebrote evaluadas, lo cual sugiere que su uso en la alimentación de bovinos en sistemas de doble propósito resultaría en concentraciones altas de ALC c9 t11 en la grasa de la leche, en comparación con otras especies.

La investigación que da origen a este artículo se centra en identificar el proceso de adopción y difusión de innovaciones en la horticultura de exportación del noroeste de México, teniendo en cuenta las diferencias según el tamaño del productor. La estimación del índice de rapidez de adopción señala que son los grandes productores quienes adoptan más temprano y son líderes en esta actividad, razón por la cual existe una brecha tecnológica entre pequeños y grandes productores, acentuada por limitantes económicas. Esto convierte a los pequeños productores en adoptantes tardíos, que dependen de programas públicos para la implementación de estos procesos. El estudio se realizó en cuatro entidades del noroeste de México (Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora y Sinaloa), que en conjunto aportan en promedio el 17 % de la producción hortofrutícola de este país. Se observa, así mismo, que el mercado internacional es un fuerte promotor de la adopción de innovaciones, en particular, las relacionadas con los estándares de inocuidad alimentaria, que son adoptadas por el 84 % de los productores. En el análisis de redes, se destaca el papel de las organizaciones gremiales como difusoras de las innovaciones tecnológicas, por ejemplo, la Confederación de Asociaciones Agrícolas del Estado de Sinaloa y la Asociación Agrícola Local de Productores de Hortalizas, Frutas y Legumbres de Hermosillo, en Sonora.

El encalado es una práctica común en el manejo de suelos ácidos, sin embargo, la información sobre encalado en suelos cacaoteros de la Amazonia colombiana es precaria. Se construyeron curvas de incubación en un Typic Udorthents fuertemente ácido cultivado con cacao (Theobroma cacao L., Malvaceae), para lo cual se utilizaron dosis crecientes (0 - 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 11 Mg/ha) de cal dolomita (CaMg(CO3)2) y carbonato de calcio (CaCO3), con el fin de conocer el tipo y cantidad de material encalante (ME) de mejor reactividad y el que más favorece los cambios en la acidez: pH, Al3+, H+ y acidez total. Se construyeron los modelos para estimar la dosis de ME necesaria para llevar el suelo al pH deseado (≥5,5). Posteriormente se encaló el suelo en condiciones de campo y se evaluó el efecto en pH, Al3+, Al en solución (Alsol), saturación de aluminio (SAI), capacidad de intercambio catiónico (CIC) y la disponibilidad de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, B, Fe y Mn. Los resultados muestran que la mayor reacción de los materiales encalantes en estos suelos se presenta después de 60 días. Aplicaciones de 7 Mg/ha permitieron elevar el pH de 5,5 a 6,0 y disminuir los niveles de Al y Fe, cambios que mejoraron la CIC y la disponibilidad de nutrientes para cacao (Ca, Mg, P, Zn) sin afectar otros nutrientes como N y K.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of planting distance of paddy var. Rojolele planted in conventional legowo system and dosage of gamma rays irradiated on nitrogen uptake and productivity of paddy. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with twelve treatments and three replications. The first factor was gamma ray radiation, consisted of three levels, namely control seed (B0), seed irradiated with gamma rays of 200 gray (B2), and seed irradiated with gamma ray of 300 gray (B3). The second factor was planting distance, consisted of four levels, namely distance of 25 x 25 (J1), distance of 30 x 30 (J2), legowo system of 2 : 1 (J3), and legowo system of 4 : 1 (J4 ). The results showed that jajar legowo system with planting distance of 2 : 1 significantly affected the nutrient content of nitrogen in shoot, nitrogen uptake of plant, and yield  per hectare. Paddy var. Rojolele irradiated by 300 gray produced higher nitrogen content in shoot, nitrogen uptake of plant, and yield per hectare than those in control seeds and seeds irradiated with 200 gray. There was a tendency that planting distance with jajar legowo system resulted in higher grain (yield), on the contrary, the narrow row spacing impacted on lower grain (yield).
