Rambutan tree (Nepheliumlappaceum L.) is an important but a lesser known fruit tree in Ghana and has several nutritional and medicinal uses. Efforts to establish plantation of Rambutan in Ghana to ensure its sustainable use is challenged with unavailable planting materials because the seeds are recalcitrant in nature, loses viability easily when exposed to dryness. Seeds are therefore sown dire...

in order to evaluate the delay cropping on yield and yield component of two canola cultivars and selecting the best genotype and row spacing, an experiment was conducted at three years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in gorgan research station. this experiment was arranged in spilt-factorial based on randomized complete block design with four sowing dates (28 oct., 12 and 28 nov. and 12 dec.) as main plo...

a greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (n) on wild barley (hordeum spontaneum koch) interference with winter wheat (triticum aestivum var. pishtaz) by an additive series experiment. the experiment was conducted in a split plot design with 3 replications. wheat plant height losses were on average 30, 10, and 10% in a wild barley density of 16 plants per pot with ...

in order to study the effect of planting date, row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and protein yield of faba bean (vicia faba l.), a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at research station of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2008-2010 for two years. experimental treatments were planting date in three l...

this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of two heavy metals, lead and cadmium, in the water of zayandehroud river which is surrounded by zarinshahr rice farms. water was sampled from a depth of 30 cm during june, july and august 2015, i.e. during the process of planting, growing and after harvesting, in three stations. water was collected from three points; 20m before the farms, besi...
