Primiparous beef cows produced in 3 calving systems were used in a 2-yr study with a completely random design to measure milk yield throughout a 190-d lactation (2002, n = 20; 2003, n = 24 per calving system). Calving occurred in late winter (average calving date = February 4 +/- 2 d), early spring (average calving date = March 30 +/- 2 d), and late spring (average calving date = May 26 +/- 1 d...

Cancer is the one of most prevalent and leading causes of death in the world. Current ad­vancements in technology improve the understanding of the pathogenesis and pathology of cancers. But, due to enlarging mortality rates, poor prognosis, and lacunae in clinical early predictive biomarkers provide an important momentum to investigate novel early diagnos­tic/prognostic markers and spec...

line yesevi-93 (cultivar abidar) was first introduced to dryland agricultural research institute (dari) through the international winter preliminary barley yield trials (iwpbyt) in 1994. it was selected as one the most high yielding lines based on observational and statistical trails (regional barley yield trials) carried out in different locations during 1997-2000. the average yield of abidar ...

combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 6×6 partial diallel cross during 2007-2009 to see the nature of gene action in cucumber (cucumis sativus l.). analysis of variance revealed high significant differences among all the f1 hybrid means and among their respective six parental values for all the traits examined. the mean squares attributed to general combining ability (gca) and speci...

this research was assigned to study the top crop yield potential and nutritive value of jerusalem artichoke (helianthus tuberosus), using a completely randomized designed with three treatments and four replications. the forage was cut at three growing stages where plant high, fresh and dry forage yield and leave/steam ratio were recorded. first and second cut were made when the plant heights we...

Warm temperature during post-heading is generally hypothesized to be the critical factor limiting grain yield of early-rice in South China. However, there is no direct evidence to confirm this hypothesis in the field. This study was conducted to determine the temperature-related yield constraints of early-rice in South China. Field experiments were carried out in Huaiji (a location in South Chi...

this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on phenology, morphology and yield of four cultivars of chickpea. this experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatment stood in main plots (in three levels) consisting of no drought stress (control), moderate d...
