Rice consumption is a major dietary source of Cd and poses potential threat to human health. The aims this study were examine the influence Fe application on yield components, dynamics in pore water, translocation factors, daily intake, estimation health risks. A pot experiment was performed under glasshouse conditions where rice cultivars (Langi Quest) cultivated two dissimilar soils different...

Soil salinity poses considerable and increasing problems for agriculture, and is receiving much attention from plant breeders. The identification of genes whose expression enables plants to adapt to and/or tolerate salt stress is essential for breeding programs, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms of traits in saline conditions. The data obtained from 75 families produced by crossi...

The effect of tillage, crop establishment and weed management was studied on theperformance of wheat grown after soybean at New Delhi, India during 2010-11 to 2011-12.Sixteen treatment combinations involved 2 tillage, viz. conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage(ZT), two crop establishment practices, viz. raised-bed and flat-bed and four weed management,viz. isoproturon + hand weeding, mesos...

I. Cross-mating of various populations of Pycvnotcs obtained from laboratory insect cultures demonstrated that the strawitch mite is a single, widely dispersed species, different from P.z~cntricoszts, which was probably associated with the furniture beetle. 2. P.ventricoszcs should not be the approved scientific name for the straw itch mite. The correct name for the straw itch mite is Pj?en~otc...

The south-east of the kingdom Morocco, including Tinejdad region at south-east, has a remarkable earthen architecture. It is built by combining two techniques, that rammed earth and adobe. This work carried out with aim preserving developing this ancestral know-how. study initially characterization soil used for construction in region; grain size plasticity showed it was not very clayey moderat...

paddy straw is one of the most abundant agricultural by-products in tamil nadu, india. itcontains high amounts of cellulose and lignin. the fungal strains were isolated from naturally decomposingsites of paddy straw. eight fungal strains were isolated and later these eight fungi were used for finding outtheir potential for the degradation of lignin and cellulose content of paddy straw. among ei...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 and 2011 to investigate the optimization of nitrogen levels under different age of seedlings transplanted on growth, chlorophyll content, yield and economics of hybrid rice. Fifteen treatment combinations consisted of three levels of seedlings age (10, 20 and 30 days) and five levels of nitrogen viz. N0, N50, N100, N150 and N200 kg h...

An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 with the objective evaluating effect mulching and nutrient management practices on growth, yield economics maize (Zea mays L.) at Balindi Research Complex, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal, India clay loam soil. The laid out in Randomized Block Design nine treatment (T) combinations such as T1- Live mulch (Trifoli...

The objective of this study was to evaluate properties of experimental particleboard panels manufactured from wheat straw that had been pretreated with acetic anhydride, soapy solution, hot water, or steam. Wheat straw particles were mixed with commercially manufactured wood particles at a ratio of 60%. Control straw particleboards with non-treated straw and wood particles were also produced. T...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major legume crops grown in Pakistan having a considerable importance as a food, feed and fodder but due to imbalanced use of fertilizers its production is low. To find the optimum level of Phosphorus and FYM for chickpea and study their effect on agronomic characteristics an experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricul...
