Strong seedling vigor is desirable trait in dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) for enhancing crop establishment and the ability to compete against weeds. A set of 253 BC3F4 lines derived from cross between Swarna and Moroberekan was phenotyped for early vigor (EV) and 8 related traits viz., early uniform emergence (EUE), shoot length (SHL), stem length (SL), shoot fresh weight (SFW), total fresh weig...

Environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. For cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

Seedling establishment is a most critical stage that determined the crop production at later stages. An in vitro investigation was carried out Laboratory of Department Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sri Karan Narendra College Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) Rabi season 2016-17 to study response fenugreek genotypes for their germination early seedling parameters under five salt stress levels viz. ...

The coffee nursery is susceptible to endoparasitic Pratylenchus coffeae. Application of biological method in the suggested control nematode population and maintain seedling health. objectives this study were observe ability Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) Glomus spp. liquid inoculant Helper Bacteria (MHB) consortium Pseudomonas diminuta Bacillus subtilis for increasing AMF colonization reduci...

background and purpose: according to fao's report, lentil yield in iran is much lower than average yield in the world. this is due to low quality seedling production, low germination and emergence capacity, biotic and abiotic stresses and poor seedling establishment which was forced to looking for a way to enhance these components. seed priming is one of the strategy for increasing the rat...

Several species from the Cucurbitaceae family including muskmelon, watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin, and squash were used to evaluate their tolerance in a laboratory test to two herbicides (Stomp and Acetochlor) widely used in crop cultivation. The effects of concentration and site of herbicide action on the length of primary roots and hypocotyls as well as seedling fresh weight were studied. The ...

Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol esters have been demonstrated to be endogenous components of etiolated Zea mays shoots tissue. This was accomplished by comparison of the putative compounds with authentic, synthetic esters. The properties compared were liquid and gas-liquid chromatographic retention times and the 70-ev mass spectral fragmentation pattern of the pentaacetyl derivative. The amount...

The effect of leachates of different phenological stages of Cassia occidentalis L. on Parthenium hysterophorus L. was studied. Seed germination, radicle length, plumule length and fresh and dry weight of Parthenium were recorded. Pigments and protein contents were also measured to evaluate relation between biochemical and biophysical parameters of Parthenium under stress. The leaf leachate of C...
