Innovative application of corn steep liquor for the increased production of food grains
Article Abstract:
Rsearch shows that yields of rice, wheat and moong bean can be improved both qualitatively and quantitatively by spraying with corn steep liquor (CSL) and Aminos. CSL, which is a by-product in corn starch production, was tested as a crop enhancer in India wheere almost 90% of the rural population is agriculturally dependent. A high yielding variety of each grain was planted in a 100-square meter plot and sprayed with either water, CSL or Aminos. Test results showed that CSL can be effectively and economically used as a crop enhancer, replacing the expensive imported Aminos.

Consumer judgement of the quality of informal sector products lessons for innovative microentrepreneurs
Article Abstract:
The study examines the factors and considerations utilized by consumers in purchasing goods produced by the informal sector. The study points out that the price and quality of informal sector products induce consumers to buy such merchandise. The inquiry further reveals that buyers are able to judge the quality of the products, and that the price is not used as an indicator of quality. Consumers, however, have expressed disenchantment over seller behavior and found informal sector products wanting in workmanship, finish and appearance.
