Early generation data consisting of F1 heterosis, F1, F2 and F3 mean performances, parent-offspring regression, and F2–F3 intergeneration correlation were used to identify potentially promising spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) crosses in terms of yield, kernel weight and protein content. The F1 test identified one high-yielding cross out of six showing significant level of higher parent (38%) and mid-parent (70%) heterosis for yield, respectively. The top yielding cross, viz. Glenlea × NB505, in F1 was also the second highest yielding population in F2 and the best yielder in F3 based on two locations. Hence, although F2 single plant productivity measurements misplaced the rankings of some of the crosses, F1 and F3 performances indicated the relative potential of the different populations. Most crosses showed nonsignificant F2–F3 regression and correlation coefficients for yield but significant coefficients for kernel weight. For protein content highly significant F2–F3 regression and correlation coefficients were observed only for crosses involving the high protein parent. The use in F1 of weight-free selection indices involving yield, kernel weight and protein content ranked Glenlea × NB505 as the best of six populations whereas in F3 the same cross had the best aggregate merit when only yield and kernel weight were considered in the index. The inclusion of protein content in the index favored a high protein cross, Sinton × Glenlea.Key words: Wheat, Triticum aestivum, heterosis, parent-offspring regression, intergeneration correlation, selection index

Ninety-nine F4 lines from the cross Lennox × Stadler of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ranged widely in both kernel hardness and kernel protein content. A nonsignificant correlation of r = −0.17 showed the absence of any tendency for hardness and high protein to be associated, contrary to what might be expected from the association found in commercial cultivars.

In experiments with two cultivars of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) conducted under irrigation at two locations for 2 years, average grain yields of Pitic 62 were 30% higher than those of Manitou but protein content was 20% lower. Pitic produced 3% more total protein than Manitou. Yield responses to N fertilizer ranged from nil to 2139 kg/ha for Manitou and from 941 to 2778 kg/ha for Pitic. The maximum rate of application of N from which a yield response was obtained by Manitou was 110 kg/ha and by Pitic was 165 kg/ha. In 1 year at one location the protein content of Pitic was lower from the first N increment and that of Manitou from the first two increments than those of wheats from plots that received no N. The maximum rate of N from which protein increases were obtained was 220 kg/ha for both cultivars. It is possible to grow wheat with high protein content on irrigated land.

ABSTRACT The objectives of this work were to study the genetic variability and the interaction between genotypes and environments for cooking time and protein content of bean grains as well as to identify elite lines of Carioca grain type with short cooking time, high protein content and high adaptability and stability for these two traits. Sixteen experiments were conducted in a complete randomized block design with three replications during the rainy, dry and winter seasons, in Goiás, Distrito Federal, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Bahia and Paraná States, in 2009 and 2010. Each trial was composed by 16 elite lines of Carioca grain type and the data of cooking time and protein content were obtained. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and to stability and adaptability analysis, according to the methodology proposed by Annichiarico. Genetic variability was found for cooking time and for protein content among Carioca common bean elite lines; however, for protein content this variability is lower. The environmental effect is important for the expression of these traits and is larger than the genetic effect. The interaction between genotypes and environments is important for cooking time and for protein content of common beans. The lines CNFC 11951 and CNFC 11962 presents short cooking time, high protein content and high stability and adaptability for both traits.

The agribusiness of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) is getting interested due to an increase in demand. It has almost complete nutrients, high protein content that can substitute animal protein for vegetarians. The growth medium for oyster mushrooms commonly uses sawdust. The cocopeat waste medium is an innovation. The research descriptively compares production cost, yield, revenue, income, and feasibility throughout both mediums. Findings that the total cost of sawdust medium was higher 750,000IDR than cocopeat waste. In terms of income, sawdust medium earned 140.72%, while cocopeat waste earned 133.29%. The feasibility of sawdust waste was 2.41 while cocopeat waste was 2.33 as well. Otherwise, the cocopeat waste medium was higher 99.21IDR than sawdust waste in cost/kg yield. Net income using cocopeat waste medium was 2,739,694.50IDR, and cocopeat waste was 2,511,769.50IDR on average. Both cocopeat waste and sawdust waste medium are very feasible to be an agribusiness. The consideration is that the availability surrounds the production site, and cocopeat waste is cheaper than sawdust waste. Agribisnis jamur tiram (Pleurotus ostreatus) semakin diminati oleh karena permintaan terus meningkat. Kandungan gizinya lengkap dengan protein yang tinggi. Bahkan bagi vegetarian menjadi pengganti protein hewani. Media pertumbuhan jamur tiram biasanya menggunakan limbah serbuk gergaji. Media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa merupakan inovasi baru. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui biaya-biaya hingga kelayakan usaha agribisnis jamur tiram menggunakan media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa dan yang biasa yaitu limbah serbuk gergaji Ternyata, Biaya total setahun menggunakan media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa lebih hemat Rp750.000 dibandingkan dengan media limbah serbuk gergaji. Biaya per kilogramnya sedikit lebih mahal Rp99.21 tetapi hasil panen lebih rendah dari limbah serbuk gergaji. Jamur tiram media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa memberikan keuntungan 133.29% dan media limbah serbuk gergaji 140.72%. Jamur tiram media limbah serbuk gergaji memberikan keuntungan bersih/bulan rata-rata Rp2,739,694.50, sedangkan media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa rata-rata Rp2,511,769.50.Kedua media untuk jamur tiram sangat layak diusahakan dengan R/C ratio 2.33 dan 2.41. Pengusaha bisa mempertimbangkan media limbah serbuk sabut kelapa atau limbah serbuk gergaji tergantung ketersediaan di sekitar lokasi dengan informasi harga limbah sabut kelapa lebih murah daripada limbah serbuk gergaji.
