The purpose of the research was a comprehensive palaeoecological study peat deposits from core in floodplain Mulymya river, reconstruction changes climatic parameters and vegetation Holocene according to spore-pollen analysis (SPA) radiocarbon dates. In course study, new data were received SPA core, provided with series AMS dates, which made it possible record transformation forest formations K...

Dustbathing is one of the major behavioural systems of domestic fowl that is constrained by commercial caging systems. Although research conducted over the last 20 years has revealed a great deal about causation of dustbathing, attempts at measuring the importance to hens of having access to dustbathing substrate have proven difficult. Various economic techniques, operant conditioning and learn...

The production of argan seedlings in nurseries is considered a crucial step for the success any forest regeneration program since it increases rate survival and growth. Therefore, substrate container play vital role seedling production, while use shade may improve soil moisture decrease water stress plant. This study aims to determine effects these factors their interactions. For this, four lev...

Large cardamom is one of the most important spices that can significantly contribute to economical farming in country Nepal. It grown Nepal and north-eastern states India which provide suitable agroclimatic growing conditions high humidity, ambient temperature rainfall. Meeting demand for quality plants yield challenging with traditional methods propagation. The present study has used plant tis...

Research was carried out to evaluate composted olive-mill waste as a peat substitute in foliage potted plant production. Rooted cuttings of Codiaeum variegatum (L.) A. Juss and Syngonium podophyllum Schott were grown for 5 months and Ficus benjamina L. for 10 months in media containing olive-mill waste compost (OWC), sphagnum peat and perlite in 1:3:4, 1:1:2, and 3:1:4 ratio (by volume), respec...

To study the effect of different substrates on growth and yield of gerbera, this experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design with 14 treatments and 3 replications. Treatments were as fallowing: fine sand, peat+fine sand (25%+75%), peat+fine sand (50%+50%), perlite+peat (75%+25%), perlite+peat (50%+50%), perlite+peat (25% +75%), perlite+peat+expanded clay (25%+70%+5%), perli...
