CONTEXT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a triad of anovulation, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism. Androgen excess may correlate with metabolic risk and PCOS consensus criteria define androgen excess on the basis of serum T. Here we studied the utility of the androgen precursor serum androstenedione (A) in conjunction with serum T for predicting metabolic dysfunction in PCOS. PATIE...

Atmospheric carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems has become a significant challenge the global framework of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The main objective this study is to provide estimation organic stocks agricultural soils Sidi Bel Abbes plain at various depths and according different land use, namely cereals, olives and,viticulture. We have chosen two toposequences types tha...

A study was carried out in the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Old Brahmaputra Flood Plains Soil (AEZ-9) during December 2001 to April 2002 to find out the effect of seed rates and NPK levels on dry matter accumulation and grain yield of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.). Four seed rates viz., 8,10,12, and 14 kg/ha and five levels of NPK ferti...

Aim: To study the Long-term impact of soil test and targeted yield based nutrient management on vertical variability in carbon fractions a Vertisol under rice-wheat cropping sequence.
 Place Duration Study: This research trail was conducted during rabi season 2020-21 an on-going programme AICRP STCR initiated 2008 at Research Farm Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur.

A pot experiment was conducted in the net house of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to evaluate the influence of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on major nutrient contents and their uptake by brinjal (cv. BARI brinjal-8) during the period from October, 2011 to May, 2012. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with 12 ...

Estimation of carbon contents and stocks are important for carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions and national carbon balance inventories. For Denmark, we modeled the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and bulk density, and mapped its spatial distribution at five standard soil depth intervals (0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60 and 60-100 cm) using 18 environmental variables as pre...

A field experiment was conducted at the Research farm, Division of Agronomy, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, India for two consecutive rainy (kharif) seasons of 2009 and 2010 to find out the impact of nitrogen, sulphur and farmyard manure (FYM) on growth and yield of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Application of 120 kg N ha significantly increased all the y...

Sweet pepper, though a highly remunerative vegetable, environmental variability and inappropriate transplanting date have resulted low yield in Terai. Hence, to identify the suitable under open net house environment, field research was conducted at Agriculture Forestry University, Rampur, Nepal, from October 2018 May 2019. A split-plot design used with two factors three replications. Main-facto...

In the context of deteriorating soil health, stagnation of yield in rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) across Indo- Gangetic plains (IGP) and environmental pollution, a long term field experiment was conducted during 2009-2016 taking four crop scenarios with conservation agriculture (CA), crop intensification and diversified cropping as intervening technology aiming to evaluate the sustainabilit...
