In 2017, experimental plot after harvesting remains perennial grasses was mechanically processed with motor cultivator divided into plots 10 m2 following options: 1. Contr...

Field experiment were conducted at CSK HPKV Research Farm, Palampur during Rabi seasons of 2000-01 and 2001-02, to study the response of onion (Allium cepa var Patna red) at four sulphur levels (0, 15, 30 and 60 kg ha(-1)) applied through Gypsum and S95. The analysis was done to allocate the limited availability of sulphur for maximizing net profit over fertilizer cost. The results show that th...

Three different formulations of Bacillus sphaericus viz, Spherimos, Vectobac and Spherifix, were evaluated for their efficacy and residual activity against Culex quinquefasciatus breeding in polluted disused wells. Spherimos, a flowable concentrate formulation, exerted 96-100% control when treated at the dosage of 10 l/ha for 17 days, whereas the effective residual activity lasted up to 67 days...

The objective of the study was to determine whether strenuous running exercise produces a significant amount of fibrosis in the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) of the knee and whether intraarticular injections of hyaluronan (HA) protect fibrosis in the IFP in a rat running model. Strenuous running exercise was performed on a rodent treadmill with 5% inclination using Wistar rats. After the exercise...

Performance of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) was evaluated on twelve transplanting dates that were arranged at 30 days interval; during 2013-2014 on experimental field of Wondo Genet agricultural research center; using RCBD design with three replications. Transplanting time exerted a very highly significant (p<0.0001) influence on plant height, flower yield and essential oil yield; essen...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...

Poor soil fertility caused mainly by low and declining organic carbon is one of the major constraints limiting crop productivity in tropical subtropical regions South Africa. We evaluated effect macadamia husk compost (MHC) on selected chemical physical properties a sandy loam NE Africa two successive seasons. The treatments, laid out randomised, complete block design replicated four times, wer...
