“…Sorghum planted at Taung had a significantly higher protein content of 8.31% than sorghum planted at Mafikeng (7.31%). This corroborates the findings by Sebetha et al (2015), who Sorghum Grain Quality as Influenced by Plant Density, Nitrogen Nutrition and Cultivar reported that maize seeds harvested from Taung had a significantly higher protein content than at Mafikeng.…”

Background: Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a staple cereal crop in the semiarid regions of the world, notably in sub-Saharan Africa due to its ability to withstand drought. However, poor soil fertility is one factor that limits its production in small farmers’ fields. Methods: Field experiments were conducted at two locations in the North-West province of South Africa during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 planting seasons. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of plant density, nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates and cultivar on sorghum grain quality. Ash, fiber, oil, protein and starch content were analysed. Result: N fertilizer rate had a significant effect (P≤0.05) on sorghum ash content during the 2017/18 season. Sorghum without N application had significantly higher ash content (4.438%) than those fertilized with 100 and 150 kg N/ha. Cultivar had a significant effect (P less than 0.001) on protein content during the 2017/18 season. Sorghum cultivar PAN 8816 had a significantly higher protein content (8.87%) than PAN 8625. Location had a significant effect (P less than 0.001) on starch content during the 2016/17 season. Sorghum planted at Mafikeng had a significantly higher starch content (38.50%) than sorghum planted at Taung.

The amounts of carbohydrate, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash, and mineral elements (Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Sodium, and Zinc) in two kinds of rice grown in Igbemo-Ekiti, Ekiti State, were determined in this study. Using Gc-Ms spectrometric analysis, the fatty acids contained in the oil of Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima were identified. On a dry weight basis, the estimated carbohydrate content of rice samples ranged from 71.41 ± 0.37 to 74.02 ± 0.35 %, with no significant difference in carbohydrate content amongst the examined species, with Oryza glaberrima having the highest carbohydrate content. Protein levels ranged from 7.06 ±0.35 to 7.11 ± 0.20 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest protein content. The crude fat levels in the tubers ranged from 6.26 ± 0.04 to 7.18 ±0.17 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest level. The crude fiber content ranged from 3.02 ±0.32 to 3.77± 0.38 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest level and the ash content ranging from 0.51± 0.07 to 0.92± 0.32 %. Calcium, sodium, and potassium concentrations were all fairly high in both species. The Gc-Ms chromatogram indicated a wide range of bioactive chemicals, the majority of which were fatty acids. Linolenic acid, Arachidic acid, Palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, Myristoleic acid, and Capric acids were some of the primary chemical components detected in the Oryza sativa chromatogram, however monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids were found in lesser amounts. Linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, Myristoleic acid, Elaidic acid, Linolelaidic acid, stearic acid, and Behenic acid have been discovered in Oryza glaberrima, making them more favorable in nutrition and diet. The two Oryza types were found to be high in fatty acids, protein, and mineral content.

“…The best water content of grain maize is 15-17%. High water content of grain caused the grain is damaged [30]. According the description, the production per hectare of Pioneer P35 variety is 9.2 ton and water content is 15% with the yield potency is 12.1 ton.…”

Problem: Maize is one of important food for Indonesian people. The problem faced by Indonesian government is the maize is not sufficient to suffice the this country demand. Aims: The research aimed to study the interaction between several hybrid maize varieties and plant spacing to growth and yield of hybrid maize Study Design: Factorial design in randomized block design. Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted in Siguntur, Sitiung 1, Dharmasraya, West Sumatra and Indonesia from April to July 2018. Methodology: Factorial design in randomized block design with 2 factors was used in the assay. The first factor was hybrid maize varieties (Pioneer P35 and Pertiwi 3) and the second factor was planting space (75 cm x 20 cm, 75 cm x 30 cm and 75 cm x 40 cm). The data was analyzed by ANOVA. Results: The result showed that no interaction between planting spacing and varieties to growth and yield of maize. The best hybrid maize variety for growth and yield was Pioneer 35. The best planting space for growth and yield was 75 cm x 20 cm. Conclusion: The interaction between plant spacing and hybrid maize varieties did not affect the growth and yield of hybrid maize. Recommendation: The further research are recommended to study the effect of plant spacing and hybrid maize to growth and yield of maize.
