Economic Yield Optimization for Organic Greenhouse Cucumber Production | Chapter 3 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 9

 Increasing crop yield, rather than farming more land, will be critical to producing more. The future optimization of crop yield is an important aspect of food production that must be addressed immediately. Organic greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of many approaches to sustainable agriculture. It is more cost effective than conventional cucumber crops. The primary object achieving optimality, taking into account net return, regular labor cost, crop collection cost, engineering supervision cost, and seed cost The yield for cucumber crop in both greenhouse and open field covered its actual production costs, according to the results. Regardless of the factors influencing cucumber growth, the WGP model achieves the unique optimal solution for the overall problem, in greenhouse x = 165.1883 tons/acre in spring, 50.00 tons/acre in autumn, and in open field x =13.8796 tons/acre in spring, 10.4640 tons/acre in autumn. x =13.8796 tons/acre in spring, 10.4640 tons/acre in autumn in open fields. According to the findings of this study, the cucumber greenhouse system is more profitable than the open-field system and more efficient, which compensates for the extra costs. A marketing aspect study is recommended because it could open up more opportunities for improving the performance of this organic greenhouse production system as an important sub-sector.

Statistical Optimization of Cellulase Production from Bacillus sp. JS14 by Solid Substrate Fermentation (SSF) | Chapter 10 | Recent Research Advances in Biology Vol. 4

The purpose of this work was to isolate the potent strains of bacteria for the development of the enzyme cellulase. The enzymes hydrolyze glucose from cellulose, which can be used to produce ethanol, organic acids and other chemicals. A total of 30 bacterial isolates showed positive results for the development of cellulase, but isolate JS 14 showed the highest enzyme activity. The isolate was classified as Bacillus sp. based on morphological and biochemical reactions. Development of cellulase was examined by this strain using the methodology of response surface (RSM). In order to explain the parameters that significantly affected enzyme output in solid substrate fermentation, a central composite design (CCD) quadratic response surface was applied to explain (SSF). Important factors for enzyme development were the wheat bran concentration and incubation time. The optimised process parameters with enzyme output response surface methodology were wheat bran concentration of 400 g/L; pH, 6.5; temperature, 40 ° C and incubation time of 5 days when 10 percent (1x107 cells/ml) of inoculum was used. The enzyme production was preferred by supplementation of lactose and CMC to the wheat bran medium.
