castor oil due to extraordinary physicochemical properties has numerous applications in pharmaceutical, chemical, hygienic, biodiesel and nowadays in food industries. during plant growth and development, as well as during postharvest and processing, different factors may affect caster oil properties. this study was conducted to evaluate oil content and physiochemical properties under different ...

The experiment was conducted involving 35 rabi sorghum genotypes sown at six different dates of sowing (from Sept I week to October IV week) during 2006-07 to assess the stability for pollen fertility (%), seed setting (%) and other productivity traits viz., plant height, days to 50% flowering, number of leaves, length of panicle, panicle weight, panicle diameter, number of primaries/panicle an...

A field experiment with wheat was conducted at Pusa (25.98°N, 85.67°E, 52 m amsl), Bihar (middle Gangetic plains of India), to assess the responses phenology, yield attributes, and growing season temperature heat stress. For this purpose, planted on five dates (viz., 15 November, 25 5 December, December) for three consecutive years 2014–2015, 2015–2016, 2016–2017) prominent cultivars region RAU...

in order to find out suitable organic fertilizers for elimination of chemical fertilizers usage and the optimum sowing date in pot marigold cultivation, an experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2007 growing season. for this purpose a split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with three replications was use...

knowledge of traits associated with drought tolerance would be useful for developing breeding materials fortarget environments. to study these traits, 119 spring durum wheat breeding lines (bls) from the international maize and wheat improvement center (cimmyt) were evaluated along with local checks (one modern cultivar and three landraces) in three experiments under terminal and non-terminal d...

introduction between oil seeds, from the quality, quantity and nutrition index point of view, canola has the top level . because of the solubility of n fertilizers, the time of urea application, is very important and one of the main reasons of the reduction in n application efficiency is utilization of urea in an inappropriate time. by precisely foliar application of nitrogen, the efficiency of...
