Cinnamon (<em>Cinnamomum verum</em> J. Presl) bush architecture as affected by modified planting systems

Sunflower summer-planting yield as affected by plant population and nitrogen application rates

Antimicrobial effect of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl) bark essential oil in cream-filled cakes and pastries

Background and objectives: Food poisoning has been always a major concern in health system of every community and cream-filled products are one of the most widespread food poisoning causes in humans. In present study, we examined the preservative effect of the cinnamon oil in cream-filled cakes. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl (Cinnamon) bark essential oil w...

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence as affected by environmental factors and planting depth

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence in response todrought (Polyethylene glycol 8000) and salinity stress (NaCl), temperature, pH andplanting depth were studied in laboratory and greenhouse experiments. Base,optimum and ceiling germination temperature were estimated as 3.35, 21.24 and35.04 oC, respectively. Isabgol seed is rather tolerant to low water potential and high...

Water use efficiency and evapotranspiration in maize-soybean relay strip intercrop systems as affected by planting geometries

Optimum planting geometries have been shown to increase crop yields in maize-soybean intercrop systems. However, little is known about whether changes in planting geometry improve the seasonal water use of maize and soybean intercrops. We conducted two different field experiments in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of changes in planting geometry on water use efficiency (WUE) and evapot...
