a total of 280 unsexed broiler chicks, 21 days-old and weighing 580 g on average were randomly distributed into 28 experimental units of 10 birds each. seven experimental diets containing respectively 0% (t0 control), 20% raw cowpeas (t1), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% of canarium charcoal (t2), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% maize cob charcoal (t3), 20% cooked cowpeas (t4), 20% cooked cowpeas + 0.2% canarium...

in order to investigate lentil response to application times and amounts of zinc, an experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications on farm research of gonbad higher education center during 2008-2009. treatments were application times (before flowering and beginning of pod setting) and application rates (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 liter per hecta...

In Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, at the Crop Research Farm of Naini Agriculture Institute Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences, Department Agronomy, during Kharif season 2022, field experiment titled "Response zinc nano urea on growth yield maize (Zea mays L.)" was carried out. The results showed that application Zinc 30 kg/ha + Nano 4 ml/l considerably increased parame...

Corn cob as a low cost adsorbent was used in the present work for the removal of toxic heavy metal Co2+ from aqueous solutions. Bath experiments were used to determine the best adsorption conditions. The equilibrium adsorption level was determined as a function of solution pH, temperature (T), contact time (tc), initial adsorbate concentration, and adsorbent dosage. Effective removal of metal i...

The objective of the performed investigations was to isolate pathogenic fungi from contaminated maize cobs, to assess the appearance of maize cob fusariosis and to determine grain contamination with deoxynivalenol in the cultivation of genetically modified maize containing a gene resistance against European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn) as well as selected non-modified cultivars. The plan...

The chemical composition of plant components three maize hybrids harvested at the beginning six reproductive stages maturity was compared. evaluated included Maximus VIP3, Defender VIP and Feroz VIP, which were each following stages: R1 (grain formation), R2 (milky grain), R3 (pasty R4 (floury R5 (hard grain) R6 (ripe grain). advancement in maturation linearly related to crude protein (CP) cont...

A field research was undertaken at the site of Mampong campus University Education, Winneba, Ghana to evaluate parents and progenies seven maize varieties. The main objective study identify high-yielding landraces hybrids heritability yield-related traits using diallel analysis. varieties (parents) used were: Aburopa, Aburonenkatie, Aburohoma, Kamaazie red, yellow, light red Obaatampa. These we...

This study investigates the optimal conditions for preparation of corn cob based activated carbon (CCAC) for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) reactive dye from aqueous solution. The CCAC was prepared by using physiochemical activation method which consisted of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and CO2 gasification. Central composite design (CCD) was used to determine the effects of the th...

Drought stress leaves deleterious effects on growth of maize plant while potassium plays an important role in reducing such deleterious effects. To study the role of potassium on maize plant grown under drought stress an experiment was conducted at Postgraduate Agricultural Research Station, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Maize hybrids 32-F-10 (drought tolerant) and YH-1898 (drought sensitive) were grow...

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil experimental plot sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 7.1), low organic carbon (0.36%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), P (15.2 kg/ha) and K (232.5 kg/ha). laid out Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis one year ...
