Field experiment was carried out during November 2006 to February 2007 under old alluvial soil to evaluate the impact of combined dose of chemical fertilizer, biofertilizer in combination with compost for the yellow sarson (Brassica campestries cv. B9) in a randomized block design replicated thrice. Various morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant population, length of shoot and root, leaf a...

In order to screen out the best variety of wheat (Triticum aestivum) out of eight varieties (viz., HP 1633, BW 11, NW 1014, Sonalika, HUW 468, K 9107, HP 1731 and HUW 234), a field experiment was conducted (from Dec. 2002 to April 2003) in a randomized block design replicated thrice at Crop Research and Seed Multiplication Farm, Burdwan University, West Bengal, India. Various morpho physiologic...

The effect of fertilizer rate on fruit quality parameters in the black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa [Michx] Ell.) cv. `Viking' was studied over three years. A combined N±P±K fertilizer was applied in different rates. Plant height, yield, berry weight, anthocyanin content, content of brown compounds, content of soluble solids, anthocyanin composition and total acidity were recorded for the dif...

salinity is one of major stresses which can severely limit plant production, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. the present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of salinity stress on some physio-biochemical parameters in nitre bush plants (nitraria schoberi). thus, an experiment was carried out under natural conditions and salinity stress was induced by a combination of diffe...

BACKGROUND When the human population increases, so does need to explore a wider range of feedstocks and biomasses, such as cyanobacteria. However, deeper understanding growth patterns pigment production is required support selection most beneficial species conditions for industrial production. The (i.e., chlorophyll C-phycocyanin) three cyanobacterium were evaluated following three-fold aim. fi...

Abstract Shading significantly affects rapeseed yield, while reasonable nitrogen (N) application has efficiency gains. However, the functions and mechanisms of N are not fully established for shaded plants. Therefore, we conducted a 2‐year field experiment to study effect on pod wall morphology carbon metabolism rapeseed. Two varieties, three rates (120 [N1], 240 [N2], 360 [N3] kg hm −2 ) two l...

The valorization of municipal solid waste (MSW) can serve as an organic amendment in agriculture while reducing accumulation the environment. This research aimed to evaluate a bio-stabilized MSW for production faba bean (Vicia L.) crop. For this purpose, biomass and growth, well as, seed yield components, nutrient accumulation, plant pigments, soil properties, microorganisms were evaluated comp...


 This study aimed to determine the effect of type solvent and extraction time using method Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) on pigment characteristics yellow pitaya peel extract find right produce with best colorant characteristics. The research design used was a randomized block 2 factors. First factor (ethanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane). Second in MAE (6,8, 10 minutes). treatment repe...

The anterior sensory vesicle of ascidian larvae contains a single large vesicle in which lie two distinct types of pigment cells, anterior and posterior. The ultrastructure of these pigment cells suggests that the anterior pigment cell is an otolith, presumably used for gravity detection, and the posterior pigment cell is an ocellus, used for photoreception. However, there is no direct experime...
