Prevalence of keratinophilic fungi was observed in paddy field soil during different stages of cultivation viz., transplanting, tillering, milking and maturation. Out of total 76 soil samples, 65 soil samples were found to be positive for the keratinophilic fungi. Fourteen species belonging to a single genus Chrysosporium were isolated through out the cropping season. C. keratinophilum (17.1%) ...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of season on, and to estimate heritabilities of, and genetic correlations among, semen and spermatozoa characteristics and the relationship of these characteristics with measures of testicular or scrotal size in 6-, 9- and 12-month old ram lambs of Menz and Horro sheep breeds indigenous to Ethiopian highlands. A total of 278 ram lambs with substan...

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is cultivated all year round in Japan by using four types of cropping: summer and winter croppings, and double cropping in spring and fall. In each cropping season, growth conditions such as temperature, day length, and growing period, differ drastically; thus, different cultivars adapted to each environment are required. Breeding stations are located in both s...

Bambara groundnut, a future emerging legume, is usually known as poor man’s crop or “women’s crop” and newly noted for new millennium. In this context, field experiment was conducted during 2019/20 cropping season at Sonka testing site of Asosa zone in northwestern Ethiopia with objective to estimate the variability groundnut genotypes respect important quantitative qualitative traits. Treatmen...

to evaluate yield and some quantitave and qualitative characteristics of tomato cultivars in warm climate of southern provinces of iran and to determine suitable cultivars for these regions, sixteen cultivars were evaluated in an experiment using randomized complete block design with three replications in minab, hormozgan province. seeds were sown in 105 cells tray cultures containing peat moss...

a breeding hexaploid salt tolerant wheat line (ms-81-14) was produced from crossing of an iranian salt tolerant wheat line (1-66-22) with inia cultivar (from cimmyt) at karaj research station in 1991-92 cropping season. the f1 plants were grown at karaj in 1992-93 cropping season, furthermore f2-f6 populations were evaluated under salinity stress conditions (ecsoil&water; = 8-12 ds/m) in isfaha...
