Disadvantages such as indeterminate inflorescence and high seed shattering during ripening are significant restrictions to introduce evening primrose as a commercial medicinal plant. Following to the last works, a pot experiment was conducted to clarify the influence of defoliation before harvest on the seed yield, oil and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) percentage of evening primrose growing under ...

Analysis of generation mean was carried out in six crosses of rice viz., ADT 41 / ADT 46, ADT 41 / CO 47, ADT 41 /TKM 9, ADT 41/ Jeeragasamba, ADT 41/ACM 98003 and ADT 41/AS 90033 for hulling percentage, milling percentage, head rice recovery, kernel length, kernel breadth, kernel L/B ratio, kernel length after cooking, linear elongation ratio and alkali spreading value. The scaling test showed...

The Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most valuable resources in Iran because of its multi benefits. The present study was conducted in Meshkin-Shahr in Ardabil province to investigate the important quantitative and qualitative characteristics of 31 walnut genotypes. Classification of genotypes was analyzed using the cluster method. The results showed that among selected walnut ge...

four west african dwarf (wad) grower bucks averaging 6 kg in weight and aged between 5-6 months of age were used in a digestive trial to determine the intake and digestibility of raw or processed pigeon pea seed meal based diets. the diets designated rpbd, spbd, tpbd and bpbd were formulated from cassava peel, palm kernel cake, brewers dry grain, bone meal and common salt to contain 15% of raw,...

aim and background: capparisspinosa l. is considered as one of the most significant plant species in the capparaceae. this plant is one of the most important medicinal plants and has a great ability to stabilize sand dune. seeds of this plant have germination problems. the aim of this research is to determine germination percentage of capparisspinosa according to different duration of chilling ...

Corn is physiologically mature when kernels reach maximum dry weight and are safe from frost. All milky fluid disappears from the kernel, and the black layer, a dark layer of cells, forms near the tip of mature kernels. Most hybrids adapted to Wisconsin reach this stage when kernel moisture decreases to 30–32%, but it may not occur until moisture content decreases to 28% for some early hybrids....
