“…This makes studies on this type of crop important, since crude protein is an important component in feed for both livestock and humans. Although it is used primarily for animal feeding, millet has great potential for human consumption, as it is the sixth most important grain among those consumed world-wide (Karim et al 2019). In addition, millet does not present anti-nutritional factors at any of its developmental stages (Fontaneli and Santos 2012).…”

The production of millet has been increasing in Brazil, principally as a cover crop and for animal feeding. However, there is little information about the responses of millet crops to application of fertilizer, including organic fertilizers. The aim of this study was to quantify the agronomic features and the bromatological composition of millet following application of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized blocks with 4 fertilizer treatments: cattle manure, poultry compost, chemical fertilizer and a Control, each with 4 replications. Plant height, stem diameter, number of tillers and leaves, number, length, diameter and mass of the panicle, 1,000-grain weight, plant dry matter yield, chlorophyll index and bromatological composition of grain and whole plant were evaluated. All treatments that received fertilizer, regardless of the source, showed better performance than the Control, but only cattle manure produced significant responses in DM yield (P<0.10). Fertilizer application did not affect the bromatological composition of millet plants and grains. Further studies are warranted on these soils to determine the justification for applying any fertilizer to millet crops, whether inorganic or organic.

High-temperature stress negatively affects the growth and development of plants, and therefore threatens global agricultural safety. Cultivating stress-tolerant plants is the current objective of plant breeding programs. Pearl millet is a multi-purpose plant, commonly used as a forage but also an important food staple. This crop is very heat-resistant and has a higher net assimilation rate than corn under high-temperature stress. However, the response of heat resistant pearl millet has so far not been studied at the transcriptional level. In this study, transcriptome sequencing of pearl millet leaves exposed to different lengths of heat treatment (1 h, 48 h and 96 h) was conducted in order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of the heat stress response and to identify key genes related to heat stress. The results showed that the amount of heat stress-induced DEGs in leaves differs with the length of exposure to high temperatures. The highest value of DEGs (8286) was observed for the group exposed to heat stress for 96 h, while the other two treatments showed lower DEGs values of 4659 DEGs after 1 h exposure and 3981 DEGs after 48 h exposure to heat stress. The DEGs were mainly synthesized in protein folding pathways under high-temperature stress after 1 h exposure. Moreover, a large number of genes encoding ROS scavenging enzymes were activated under heat stress for 1 h and 48 h treatments. The flavonoid synthesis pathway of pearl millet was enriched after heat stress for 96 h. This study analyzed the transcription dynamics under short to long-term heat stress to provide a theoretical basis for the heat resistance response of pearl millet.

“…After calculating the total costs incurred, then calculating the total revenue which can be calculated by multiplying the production obtained by the estimated selling price. Total revenue is also named with gross output from multiplying of the total production in a hectare with the selling price of product [9].

Solid waste produced by oil palm mills consists of oil palm empty bunches, shells, fibers and sludge. Oil palm empty fruit bunches contain 40 percent of cellulose, 24 percent of hemicellulose, 21 percent of lignin, and 15 percent of ash. This study aims to determine the production and the income potential of oyster mushrooms by using oil palm empty fruit bunches as a growth medium. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using an experimental design approach. Analysis of variance showed that all treatments had no significant effect on the length of mycelium fulfillment, the length of the mushroom stalk, the diameter of the fruit cap and the wet weight of the fungus. Treatment with K0 without empty fruit bunches of oil palm has the same growth and production potential as treatment of K1-K4 using oil palm empty fruit bunches. Fungal growth and production are influenced by environmental, nutritional and genetic factors. The potential production of oyster mushrooms with wood sawdust and 15 baglog empty fruit bunches growing media is 5.2 kilograms with a total cost of IDR 297,250. The total revenue for twice harvests for each baglog is IDR 312,000. Therefore, to support the potential for growth and production of oyster mushrooms, oil palm empty fruit bunches can be used as a medium for growing oyster mushrooms because they have the potential for income to be used as a business.
