Evaluation of various fungicides against leaf blast of rice was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Bavikere, Tarikere (Tq), Chikkmangalore (Dist.), Karnataka during kharif 2010 and 2011 season. A highly susceptible rice variety TO-39 was planted in Randomized Complete Block Design and the application of various fungicides viz Dithane Z -78 75 WP (0.2 %),Carbendazim(0.1%), Propiconazo...

ABSTRACT- In order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and plant density on yield and yield components of bean, a split plot arrangement was conducted in complete randomized block design during two years. The foremost variable was four levels of irrigation: 60, 80, 100, and 120% of the potential evapotranspiration. The second variable was within the row spacing of 5 cm (D1), 10...

in order to increase grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (nue) and nitrogen apparent recovery fraction (narf) in wheat (triticum aestivum l.), this experiment was carried out with 5 or 6 treatments and 3 or 4 replications in 14 locations at 22 different sites in iran during the 2004-05 growing season. the experiment was designed as a completely randomized block. the effect of n sources and tim...

plant growth regulators (pgrs) are widely used for lodging control in winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown at high n rates. although the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat cultivars had largely solved the problem of lodging, evidence was already accumu-lating that the timely application of a growth retardant such as chlormequat (ccc) or ethephon could increase the grain yield of wheat, by th...

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

sustainable economical production of tea depends on the proper use of water and fertilizer. for this purpose, the role of supplemental irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on economical production of tea plantations was studied by assessment of yield, production function, water use efficiency, and benefit/cost ratio, and final return in a field experiment at feshalam tea research station in fouma...

Increased deposition of specific extracellular matrix (ECM) components is a characteristic of insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. Hyaluronan (HA) is a major constituent of the ECM. The hypotheses that 1) HA content is increased in the ECM of insulin-resistant skeletal muscle and 2) reduction of HA in the muscle ECM by long-acting pegylated human recombinant PH20 hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) reverses ...
