Invasive species are not new phenomena in U.S. agriculture, as illustrated by these 1920s lyrics from the Boll Weevil folksong. The boll weevil entered the United States via Mexico in the 1890s, and by the 1920s, this pest had spread to all cotton producing states, wiping out tens of thousands of acres of cotton, costing billions of dollars, and literally driving thousands of farmers off the la...

The present investigation on correlation and path analysis studies helps to study the relationship among yield contributing traits along with quality parameters. observations were taken in F1 population of 35 hybrids lines (7 lines) testers (5 testers) for viz. plant height (cm), number sympodial branches per plant, bolls boll weight (g), lint index single cotton ginning outturn (%), upper half...

cotton (gossypium hirsutum l. cv. varamin ) an important industrial crop of iran, is grown in 300,000 ha, with an average seed -cotton yield of 1750 kg.ha-1. the main obstacle in the way of increasing average cotton yield is imbalanced fertilizer use. along with urea and triple super phosphate, cotton growers also need k, mg, zn, fe, mn, cu, and b, so these elements’ critical levels should ...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)is grown as a commercial crop throughout the world and it maintains national economy of Pakistan. Genetic variation is ultimate necessity plant breeder for utilization high yielding varieties to minimize gap between production demand. An experiment was conducted estimation correlation, path coefficient analysis, principal component analysis cluster yield components...

This study aimed to explore the histomorphology of pancreatic tissue medaka fish develop as a diabetic animal model. Adult were obtained with body length 2.53±0.22 cm and weight 265.8±25 g. Medaka fixed using Boiun's fixative solution. Macro anatomical observations pancreas conducted stereomicroscope. Histological preparations made according Hematoxylin-eosin staining standard procedure. Pancre...

In order to increase the fiber productivity in cotton, it is imperative genetically improve component traits and such effort can be quickened by use of molecular markers. Totally, seventy-four simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that were previously shown linked fibre strength, boll weight, elongation used differentiate Gossypium hirsutum var. MCU5 TCH1218 among them two found polymorphic Thes...

the objective of deficit irrigation is to increase water use efficiency by reducing of water quantity or wave off further irrigations that have not necessary. cotton plant is sensitive to irrigation timing and quantity through different growth stages. the field trail was conducted at hashemabad cotton research station (gorgan) to determine water consumption and cotton sensitivity to deficit irr...
