The effective control of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, mainly caused by the toxigenic fungus graminearum , has a significant impact on food safety worldwide. As maize is one main hosts F. risk infection this plant pathogen highest when wheat grown after and infected crop residues are not buried through ploughing. This study aimed to investigate agronomic economic viability two innovative...

Wheat response to seeding rate is variable and depends on resource availability during the growing season (e.g., fertility, moisture, temperature). Our objective was evaluate winter wheat population grain yield responses its interaction with variety in a highly-managed production system where manageable stresses were limited. One experiment evaluating of varieties Joe, WB-Grainfield, Langin, LC...

Agriculture soils of Pakistan are already deficient macronutrients, and now inadequacy for micronutrients has also been reported causing adverse effects on crop productivity. The study was carried out to investigate the effect soil foliar applied iron (Fe) wheat. treatments included: T1=Control (without Fe), T2=Soil Fe 3 kg ha‑1, T3=Soil 6 T4=Foliar 0.2%, T5=Foliar 0.4%, T6=Soil 1.5 ha-1+foliar...

Many of our larger growers have chosen to hire and train their own sales staff and develop their own sales organiza tion. A lot of our nurseryman do not have sufficient volume to warrant this kind of expense or effort. On the other hand, larger volume growers often are unable to market their entire output through the other grower developed market outlets discussed above. These growers must eith...

Soybean growers have adopted herbicide tolerant varieties at a rapid rate. While some potential cost savings may have driven adoption, the primary reason growers are switching to new programs is the simplicity and flexibility of a weed control program that relies on one herbicide to control a broad spectrum of weeds without crop injury or crop rotation restrictions. Roundup Ready weed control p...

Crop management can be defined as the set of agricultural operations that produce the crop. Soil and water science experts, plant pathologists, entomologists, agricultural scientists, and breeders all contribute to these operations. Soil and water conservation are also important factors in crop management. It is important that reliable methods of crop management be transferred to growers in an ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Conventional identification of mycobacteria is achieved by standard biochemical tests that are time consuming, laborious and is not always conclusive. This study was thus undertaken to standardize a simple, rapid and cost-effective polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using primers coding for the 16S - 23S rRNA spacer regio...
