Fusarium oxysporum attacks Bambara groundnut at all stages of development. Attack prior to seed germination results in pre-emergence damping-off disease that can lead losses crop stands which eventually reduce yield. Dry and wet season field trials were conducted evaluate the effect incidence on yield nut landraces Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria. Three (Cream, Red Black) laid out Randomized Co...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is one of the most important cultivable medicinal plants in Iran and today, it is the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. It is essential to know the relationships between yield and its components in cumin breeding programs. Therefore, different multivariate statistical analysis was performed on plant characters in cumin to determine th...

1. Opportunities for diversifying the management of weedy populations may be enhanced through accurate predictions of seedling emergence, because the timing and success of control measures often hinges on the timing of weed emergence. We used population-based threshold models to establish the temperature, moisture and oxygen conditions for optimum germination of herbicide-resistant and -suscept...

Birds are important seed dispersers for fleshy fruits through their transportation of ingested seeds. The seeds of many species germinate faster and in greater proportions after passing through a digestive tract, although the effects of this passage vary amongst bird and plant species. Many factors determine the germination success of ingested seeds, such as seed scarification during the digest...

application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. in this paper, the benefits of...

one of the important issues in the arid and semi-arid regions is the water deficit and soil salinity. therefore, selecting tolerant species to salinity and drought especially in seed germination and emergence stage is important. in the present study the effects of drought and salt stress on seed germination of vetch (vicia villosa l.) which is palatable forage was investigated. the germination ...
