black forest horses are typically chestnut colored with flaxen mane and tail. however, as their coat color can get very dark, they are sometimes also indicated as silver, a color depending on a black base color. to analyse if the silver allele is present in the black forest horse population, we genotyped 250 horses of this breed for formerly reported coat color mutations within mc1r and silv. a...

A field experiment was conducted at Precision Farming Development Center, college farm, of agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during kharif, The laid out in split plot design with three drip irrigation levels as main treatments (viz., I1- Drip 1.0 E pan, I2- 0.8 I3- 0.6E pan) and four mulches M1-No mulch, M2- Paddy straw, M3- Black plastic M4- Dried leaves) sub were replicated thrice. experi...

The use of leaf mulch as a soil cover is effective in improving yield and soil fertility. The field experiment was conducted during 2010 and 2011 to study the effect of plant spacing (30 cm × 30 cm and 45 cm × 30 cm) and four mulches {pine needles (Pinus roxburghii), poplar leaf (Populus deltoides), silver oak (Grevillea robusta) tree leaf mulch and unmulched control} on growth, yield, qual...

Current vegetable production systems use polyethylene (plastic) mulch and require multiple applications of agrochemicals. During rain events, runoff from vegetable production is enhanced because 50 to 75% of the field is covered with an impervious surface. This study was conducted to quantify off-site movement of soil and pesticides with runoff from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plots ...

Drip irrigation and mulching are often used to alleviate the problem of poor water management in many crops; however, these technologies have not yet been tested for applying at critical stages guava orchard growth subtropical humid Tarai regions India improve yield quality. A field experiment was conducted over 2020 2021 which included three strategies: severe deficit (DI 50 ), moderate 75 ful...
