Agricultural sector area plays major role in Indian economy. This paper shows research comparison in between MLP Feed Forward Neural Network, Generalized Regression Neural Network and Radial-Basis Function Neural Network in the field of Wheat yield prediction using Z-score Normalization method. The outcome represents that GRNN present better prediction results as compared to FFNN and RBNN. Eigh...

in order to study the interaction allelopathic effects of wheat, barley and wild mustard on seed germination and seedling growth, this investigation was conducted in 2009 in two separate experiments. allelopathic effect of four aqueous extracts (0, 2.5, 5 and 10%) of wild mustard on wheat and barley germination was evaluated in the first experiment, based on two randomized completely designs (r...

Preventing the introduction of weeds into the farming system through sowing of clean seeds is an essential component of weed management. The weed seed contamination of cleaned grain and herbicide resistance levels of the recovered weed seeds were examined in a study conducted across 74 farms in the Western Australian grainbelt. Most farmers grew and conserved their own crop seed. The majority o...

drought stress is considered as one of the main important factors reducing field crop yield, thus leading researchers to study the related physiological characteristics may reduce drought effects. this experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement institute (spii) in karadj, arak and jolgeh rokh for three cropping seasons (2008-2011) to evaluate drought tolerance of br...

An endophytic fungus found in Kentucky 31 (KY-31) tall fescue has been associated with the "summer syndrome" (fescue toxicity) in grazing cattle. Four experiments were conducted to investigate the use of weanling rats as an animal model to study the fescue toxicity syndrome. When graded levels of fungus-infected (INF) or fungus-free (FF) KY-31 seed were fed, feed intake and growth rates were in...

ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of the Islamic Azad University-Arak Branch, Iran, in 2011 and 2012. Experimental factors consisted of three levels of salicylic acid (SA); seed priming with distilled water (hydro priming), seed priming with 0.5 mM SA, and 0.5 mM SA  seed priming 1 mM...

Pollen viability is an important parameter of yield as for as interaction of temperature with seed setting is concerned. Rabi sorghum is one of the major cereal crops after rice, wheat and maize. In sorghum seed setting is affected when the flowering period coincides with minimum temperature. In this context comparison was made with pollen fertility percentage and seed setting percentage vs min...

Seed germination is an important event in the life cycle of seed plants, and is controlled by complex and coordinated genetic networks. Many genes involved in the regulation of this process have been identified in different plant species so far. Recent studies in both Arabidopsis and wheat have uncovered a new role of MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 (MFT) in seed germination. Here, we reported a homolog ...

this study evaluated direct drilling planters used for wheat cultivation in khorasan-e razavi province. a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. the treatments were direct drilling of wheat plants into wheat residue using the following direct planters: (1) sfoggia (13-25), (2) baldan (spd3000), (3) tondar (spd 2500), (4) semeato (shm 11/13). the parameters measured w...
