The aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named BP Mashhad, BP Karaj and 191. The experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at Motahari Research station of Sugar beet Seed Research Institute ...

Five medicinal plants viz. Abelmoschatus moschatus Linn., Clitoria tematea L., Plumbagozeylanica L., Psorolea corylifolia L. and Withania sominifera L. were grown in a polypot experiment in five soils representing coal mine soil, coppermine soil, fly ash, skeletal soil and forest soil with and without mycorrhizal inoculations in a completely randomized block design. Dry matter yield and mycorrh...

abstract lowland rice (oryza sativa l.) in south asia is under stress, as nitrogen removals by crops are higher than their replenishment through fertilizers. limited information is available on optimizing nitrogen dose in lowland rice to turn out higher yield. the present investigation aimed to optimize nitrogen fertilization and it’s response to the growth and yield of lowland rice. we evaluat...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of three selected botanicals namely leaf extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Debdaru (Polyalthia longifolia) and datura (black) (Datura metel) along with Bavistin (Carbendazim) and BAU-biofungicide (Trichoderma harzianum) against leaf spot disease (tikka) of groundnut caused by Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum at the Fie...

21 Three levels of metabolizable protein supply (108, 98–95 and 85 g PDIE kg DM) (PDIE: protein digested in the small intestine when rumen-fermentable energy is limiting) in the diet and three levels of difference between rumen-degradable 21 energy and N (PDIE 2 PDIN 5 0, 10 and 20 g kg DM) (PDIN: protein digested in the small intestine when rumenfermentable nitrogen is limiting) were used in t...

Hydroponics is a promising method for cultivation of saffron ( Crocus sativus ). In this study, corms were sprouted using gradual decrease in air temperature, and they cultivated hydroponically either perlite or volcanic rock 24 weeks. A nutrient solution was supplied an ebb-and-flow system continuous immersion. First blooming observed 29 days after transplantation. Among flowering traits, only...

Sixteen Holstein cows in midlactation were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effect of replacing alfalfa neutral detergent fiber (NDF), with NDF from a combination of whole linted cottonseed, dried distillers grains, and wheat middlings. The four diets were a basal control diet that was low in forage and fiber [(5.9 g of corn silage NDF and 6.1 g of alfalfa NDF/100 g of dry m...
