Core IdeasGenotype × environment affected camelina seed yield, oil and constituent fatty acids.Blaine Creek produced the greatest seed among the camelina genotypes studied.Camelina grown at Hays, KS, had less yields and oil content compared to Moccasin, MT.Camelina at Moccasin, MT had greater linolenic acid content compared to Hays, KS.Camelina (Camelina sativaL. Crantz) is an alternative oilseed crop with potential for fallow replacement in dryland cereal‐based crop production systems in the semiarid Great Plains. The interaction between genotype and environment was investigated on camelina seed yield, oil content, and fatty acid composition across two locations in the U.S. Great Plains. Treatments were three spring camelina genotypes (cultivars Blaine Creek, Pronghorn, and Shoshone), three growing seasons (2013, 2014, and 2015) and two locations (at Hays, KS, and Moccasin, MT). Results showed camelina grown at Hays yielded 54% less than that at Moccasin. Blaine Creek yielded 17 and 42% more than Pronghorn and Shoshone at Hays but yields were not different among genotypes at Moccasin. Oil content ranged from 262 g kg−1at Hays to 359 g kg−1at Moccasin. The proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ranged from 51% at Hays to 55% at Moccasin, whereas monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and saturated fatty acid (SFA) contents were greater at Hays. The linolenic acid content ranged from 26% when Pronghorn was planted at Hays to 35% when planted at Moccasin. In general, the variations in seed yield and fatty acid profile corresponded well with growing season precipitation and temperatures at each environment.

Core Ideas
Strategic application of N fertilizer produced a thinner and more open crop canopy.
The smaller canopy delayed demand for soil moisture.
The smaller canopy reduced shoot mortality and increased harvest index.
Higher N uptake from sowing N application did not result in more harvest N.
Strategic N application can improve yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) but the reliability of the response in dryland conditions is often low, leading to poor predictability of N responses. The objective of this study was to provide an understanding of how nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) could be improved by strategic N application. Experiments with seven N application timings and two N rates were conducted at two sites over two seasons to evaluate the effects of strategic N supply on N uptake, canopy development, and yield components. Delaying the application of N fertilizer initially produced a thinner, more open crop canopy, compared with application of N at sowing, as indicated by significantly lower light interception (LI) (68 vs. 80%), which was associated with reduced shoot mortality (r = –0.71) and increased harvest index (HI) (r = 0.71–0.96). Nitrogen applied only at sowing had higher preanthesis N uptake (96.6 kg N ha−1 vs. 78.1 kg N ha−1), but did not result in more grain N at harvest. A smaller canopy, resulting from lower initial N supply, was able to respond to late N application, potentially through retaining more soil water at anthesis (80 mm vs. 69 mm at 0–60‐cm depth). The results provide evidence that in rainfed wheat production systems, early season N application is an inefficient strategy to convert biomass and N into grain. Manipulating canopy development through N management can alter canopy size and water use patterns, to improve NUE and reduce risk in dry seasons.

Core Ideas
Energy cane may be an alternative crop on sand soils in the future to improve profits.
It is unclear if energy cane differs from sugarcane in physiology and yield on sand soils.
Energy cane had 26 to 35% greater normalized difference vegetation index and 21% higher yield than sugarcane.
Increased yield of energy cane was associated with great normalized difference vegetation index and high stalk population rather than leaf net photosynthetic rate.
A growing interest of producing sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) for both sugar and bioenergy and saturation of using organic soils provide an opportunity to expand production on mineral (sand) soils. However, sugarcane yields and profits on sand soils are generally low. Energy cane may be an alternative on sand soils in the future to improve profits. The objective of this study was to identify physiological and biomass traits of sugarcane and energy cane growing on sand soils. Two commercial sugarcane cultivars and two energy cane clones were planted at two sites with sand soils in southern Florida. Data were collected on plant‐cane, first‐ratoon, and second‐ratoon crops. Leaf relative chlorophyll level (SPAD), photosynthetic rate (Pn), and canopy reflectance were measured during tillering and grand growth. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was calculated based on canopy reflectance data. Stalk population, diameter and length, and aboveground biomass yields were determined when plants reached maturation. Although there were no consistent differences between sugarcane and energy cane in leaf SPAD, Pn or NDVI of plant cane, energy cane had 26 to 35% greater NDVI values than sugarcane in the ratoon crops. Energy cane showed 21% higher dry biomass than sugarcane, averaged across sites and crops. Increased biomass production of energy cane was mainly associated with high stalk population, long stalk, and great NDVI rather than leaf Pn or stalk diameter. The findings of this study on physiological parameters of energy cane vs. sugarcane can be useful for improvement of knowledge and future research.

Core Ideas
Inoculum rate with elite strains is critical to achieve the benefits of biological N2 fixation.
The minimum rate of 1.2 × 106 cells of Bradyrhizobium seed−1 was determined to benefit biological N2 fixation.
Soybean can highly benefit from biological N2 fixation.
Some sites required 2.4 × 106 cells seed−1 and could respond to higher rates.
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] can highly benefit from inoculation with elite strains of Bradyrhizobium, selected for high capacity of N2 fixation. However, to achieve the benefits, the strains must be capable of effectively nodulate the host, and inoculum rate may be critical, especially under stressing tropical environmental conditions. We performed 10 field experiments, in four crop seasons and four Brazilian states, including soils without and with established populations of soybean bradyrhizobia, to investigate the effects of inoculum rates, consisting of zero, 0.6 × 106, 1.2 × 106, and 2.4 × 106 colony forming units (CFU) per seed. Nodule number and dry weight were evaluated at early flowering and grain yield and N content in grains at the physiological maturity. Satisfactory nodulation and grain yields were obtained with 1.2 × 106 CFU seed−1. However, there were sites with and without established population of bradyrhizobia where maximum nodulation and/or yields were achieved with inoculum rate of 2.4 × 106 CFU seed−1, and that could require even higher rates. Therefore, we suggest the adoption of the minimum inoculum rate of 1.2 × 106 cells of Bradyrhizobium seed−1 for soybean planting in the tropics, to achieve maximum contribution of biological N2 fixation.

Core Ideas
A new allometric method was developed to estimate LAI for row crops.
Good agreement resulted for four crops over multiple seasons.
Best agreement resulted using GDD, plant population, and canopy height.
Leaf area index (LAI) is critical for predicting plant metabolism, biomass production, evapotranspiration, and greenhouse gas sequestration, but direct LAI measurements are difficult and labor intensive. Several methods are available to measure LAI indirectly or calculate LAI using allometric methods (i.e., exploiting relationships between LAI and more easily measured plant variables), but these depend on other measurements not widely available, and have limited transferability to different seasons. A new allometric method using a log normal function was developed to calculate LAI. Input variables were normalized cumulative growing degree days (CGDD), canopy height (CH), and plant population (PP), which were usually more widely available in crop production datasets. Destructive LAI measurements were obtained over multiple growing seasons for corn (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] at USDA‐ARS, Bushland, TX. Log normal functions were calibrated to LAI measurements from a single season of each crop, and tested using independent LAI measurements from all remaining crop seasons. For all crops, discrepancies between calculated and measured LAI resulted in coefficients of determination from 0.23 to 0.85, model indices of agreement from 0.52 to 0.84, root mean square errors from 0.76 to 1.4, mean absolute errors from 0.57 to 1.2, and mean bias errors from ‐0.46 to 0.60. The new allometric method can mitigate missing or sparse LAI data, which will enhance the value of large ecological datasets.
Ammonia and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Broiler Houses with Downtime Windrowed Litter

Published: March 2017

An emerging poultry manure management practice is in‐house windrowing to disinfect the litter. However, this practice is likely to increase emissions of ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from the windrowed litter. The objective of this study was to quantitatively compare NH3 and N2O emissions from broiler houses with and without in‐house windrowing. Two broiler houses at a commercial farm were used to compare the NH3 and N2O emissions. Gas emission measurements were conducted continuously and simultaneously for both the control house (without windrowing) and the house with windrowing during the same production periods. The house emission rates were calculated by multiplying the hourly mean gas concentrations and the ventilation rates. The windrowed litter temperature was significantly higher than that of the control litter. The impact of downtime (the time lapse between flocks, during which the bird house is empty) windrowing litter on pathogen reduction was inconclusive because of very low or no recovery of both Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from control or windrowed litter samples, respectively. The windrowing house NH3 emissions were 26.2 and 16.6 kg d−1 house−1, whereas for the control house, they were 14.6 and 12.8 kg d−1 house−1 in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The N2O emissions from the windrowing house were also higher than those from the control house. The total NH3 and N2O emissions from broiler houses practicing windrowing litter management were estimated to be 35.0 and 4.43 g bird−1, respectively, compared with 31.9 and 3.89 g bird−1 for the control house, respectively.Core Ideas
Significantly high NH3 and N2O emissions from a downtime windrowing house.
31% of NH3 and 16% of N2O emissions per bird were attributed to windrowing litter.

Published: March 2017

The comorbidities affect the course of pancreatitis significantly; however, this effect has not been evaluated from the perspective of genetic component.The objective of the research was to analyse concomitant chronic diseases as potential risk factors for edematous pancreatitis considering genetic predictors.Materials and methods. The epidemiological analysis of comorbidities (cholelithiasis, urolithiasis, ischemic heart disease, past viral infection) as risk factors for edematous pancreatitis was performed. Polymorphic variants of the IL-4 (rs 2243250) gene being identified in 123 patients and 40 healthy individuals were also involved.Results. In patients with edematous pancreatitis, urolithiasis was observed more frequently than in the control group - by 37.30% (χ2=18.62, p<0.001). The presence of cholelithiasis insignificantly increases the risk of edematous pancreatitis in the future (RR-1.156; 95% CI: 0.972-1.374). The presence of urolithiasis increased the risk of edematous pancreatitis twofold (RR-2.039; 95% CI: 1.346-3.090; p<0.05).Conclusions. 1. Cholelithiasis increases the probability of developing edematous pancreatitis in carriers of the mutant T-allele of the IL-4 gene by 3.7 times (RR=3.69; OR=10.13; 95% CI OR: 3.17-32.42; p<0.05). 2. In the C-allele carriers of the IL-4 (C-590T) gene, the risk of developing acute pancreatitis is twice higher in the presence of urolithiasis or ischemic heart disease, and almost five times higher in case of past viral infection (p<0.05).

Спінальну анестезію (СА) виконано в 93 жінок при кесаревому розтині. Показаннями до операції слугували: хвороба оперованої матки, неспроможність рубця на матці, клінічно вузький таз, міопія високого ступеня, вторинна родова слабкість. Як місцевий анестетик для СА використовували 0,5% Лонгокаїн Хеві. Преінфузію виконували Гекотоном — 3–4 мл/кг. З метою оцінки впливу СА на показники центральної гемодинаміки і преінфузію вивчали центральну гемодинаміку, об’єм циркулюючої плазми, об’єм позаклітинної рідини, новонароджених оцінювали за шкалою Апгар. Було встановлено, що внутрішньовенна преінфузія Гекотоном за рахунок поєднання переваг колоїдно-гіперосмолярного компонента швидко викликає перерозподіл рідини з міжклітинного простору у внутрішньосудинний, надійно підтримує волемічний ефект, що дозволяє використовувати менший об’єм розчину для передопераційної підготовки при нейроаксiальнiй анестезії. Застосування Гекотону як преінфузії (3–4 мл/кг) стабілізує гемодинамiчний профіль після виконання СА. У 81 (87,1 %) випадку відзначалася відносно стабільна гемодинаміка, що не потребувала адреноміметичної підтримки, і тільки в 12 (12,9 %) — розвивалася виражена артеріальна гіпотензія, корекцію якої проводили фракційним введенням мезатону.
