Abstract
Storage of sweetpotato roots for a prolonged period is a great challenge at the smallholder farmer level in Mozambique. Piecemeal harvesting allows a continuous supply of roots for household consumption for several months if weevil infestation is avoided. No systematic study has been done to look at the dynamic changes in yield and nutritional content among orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) cultivars harvested at different times in Mozambique. The objectives of the studies were to determine yield and changes in key macro- and micronutrients associated with early or late harvesting of OFSP cultivars in Mozambique. Four trials were established at Gurué in December 2015. The trials were classified into harvesting period, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months. Each trial had 30 OFSP cultivars laid in a randomised complete block design with three replications. Twenty-two of the cultivars are already released in Mozambique, 2 are elite clones, and 3 are common checks in 2016. Yield measurements were done in the field and samples were selected and sent to the quality laboratory in Maputo for determination of dry matter (%), β-carotene (mg/100g dry weight basis [dwb]), iron (mg/100g dwb), zinc (mg/100g dwb), and carbohydrate content, including starch, using near-infrared spectrometry. Data of the collected traits were analysed using R. The cultivars had significant differences in the measured traits within each harvesting period and among the harvesting dates. Yield and dry matter sharply rose as the harvesting period increased from the date of planting. Sweetpotato is perennial, hence partitioning of photosynthates to the storage roots is a continuous process. Dry matter, starch, iron, and β-carotene increased linearly in some cultivars as harvesting was prolonged; zinc was not affected by harvesting period. Genotype x environment interaction was small for the quality traits. Stability of micronutrients is essential for piecemeal harvesting. The study allowed accurate grouping of the cultivars tested into maturity groups as this was never done before

Roti Bank Hyderabad: A Beacon of Hope and NourishmentRoti Bank

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

Breeding Cucurbits, CFSA SAC 2015
1. Breeding Cucurbits for Organics in the Southeast Region
This work made possible through an Organic Research and
Extension Initiative grant. number: 2012-51300-20006
24. Pollination
• Day before:
– Close buds to be crossed
• Full petal color in bud
• Skip if in greenhouse with good insect control
– If any perfect flowers, emasculate first
• Morning of:
– Transfer pollen
– Use multiple male flowers for cucumber
– Cover pollinated female flower with bag or gel cap
– Pollen timing depends on season and weather
Editor's Notes
While SCB can feed on many Cucurbita, we are focusing on C. pepo (acorn, summer squash, zucchini, pumpkin, scallop)
While SCB can be devastating, we do know that there is endogenous differences within the species
Over the past two years, we have done extensive choice trials in the field, and in the controlled greenhouse and know that some market classes of C. pepo, are, in general, more preferred than the others
Zucchini, as you can see, is highly preferred, but also something that growers want! Summer squash is non-preferred
Even more importantly, there is a distinct biological distinction between these market classes; they are two separate subspecies that arose from two different domestication events!
Even more importantly, there is a distinct biological distinction between these market classes; they are two separate subspecies that arose from two different domestication events!
This is exciting because it provides a logical explanation of why beetles may prefer one over the other – being from different domestication events, we would expect different biochemistries, selection pressures, etc.
So, we are confident that one subspecies has characteristics that make it more preferred, or conversely, one subspecies has characteristics that make it non-preferred, or both are happening simultaneously
So, via traditional plant breeding, we can (probably) make a non-preferred zucchini.
Would it work?
So, focusing on zucchini, our question was a key question to answer is whether introgression of non-preference traits from summer squash into zucchini via traditional plant breeding can yield a non-preferred zucchini that can withstand beetle pressure on a commercial scale.
Would this breeding strategy work?
We planted monocultures of known preferred and known non-preferred
Non-preferred, Success PM summer squash (ask question, if this is only choice, what would happen)?
Preferred, Golden Zucchini (positive control of how beetles would inflict damage in a landscape without non-preference)
We clearly see difference in preference when SCB is given a choice!
