Tobacco is a salt-sensitive glycophyte crop species. In this work effect of silicone (Si) supplementation (1 mM as Na2SiO3) was studied in Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Basmas grown hydroponically in growth chamber under control, low (25 mM) and high (75 mM) NaCl concentration for two weeks. Dry matter production of leaves was depressed by salinity level as low as 25 mM and higher salt concentration...

Fire is a critical tool for managing rangeland ecosystems; however, the increasing wildfire occurrence poses considerable danger to ecosystem continuity. Predicting fire and mapping in highly flammable rangelands. To identify potential remotely sensed variables prediction, this study employed Random Forest (RF) classifier using selected environmental assess their possible use prediction Kgalaga...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding of  steeped barley grain with lactic acid (la) and citric acid (ca) on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, apparent nutrients digestibility, rumen ph and milk production. eight early lactating holstein cows in the second parities were used in 4×4 latin square change- over design. treatments  consisted of basis diet containing 1) dr...

The present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the mineral mixt...
