abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seedmoisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknownand could be modified by seed composition. Objectives were to evaluate the impact of chemicaldesiccation on: i) hybrid sunflower seed yield and composition at harvest time, ii) seeddeterioration during long-term s...

Abstract One of the causes generally low upland rice productivity in Indonesia is fertility and soil pH. The use genotypes with high yielding capacity tolerant acid soils can increase productivity. This study aimed to develop an early efficient selection method, determine research was conducted using a seed germination technique on paper medium varied acidity level (pH 6.5, 5.5 4.5). Research d...

A factorial experiment with two factors was carried out at the Seed Technology Lab., College of Agriculture, University Baghdad in 2018 order to study effect seed priming gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 100, 300 and 500 mgL-1) on germination seedling growth deteriorated oat cultivars (Shifaa, Shofan11). The complete randomized design used four replications. results showed that cultivars, soaking dif...

The present study focused on the evaluation of priming with water and various botanical leaf extract followed by humid invigoration as a means to improve seed germination seedling vigour ribbed gourd (COH 1) bitter (CO 1). seeds these gourds were primed extracts at 2% concentration viz., Pongam (Pongamia pinnata L.), Neem (Azadira chtaindica), Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Curry (Murraya koenigii...

This article reviews the brain structures and neural circuitry underlying the motor system as it pertains to endurance exercise. Some obvious phenomena that occur during endurance racing events that need to be explained neurophysiologically are variable pacing strategies, the end spurt, motivation and the rating of perceived exertion. Understanding the above phenomena physiologically is problem...

Detection of the irradiation dose and the vigour of irradiated rice based on the ultra-weak luminescent analysis is one of the promising analytical detection methods. Rough rice and head rice flour were used in this research for ultra-weak luminescent analysis. The bioluminescence intensity of the rough rice was different at varying irradiation doses and storage time. The trend of the differenc...

This study identified three soil bacteria (NRRU-BW3, NRRU-BW3, and NRRU-TV11) that degrade chlorpyrifos, produce indole-3-acetic acid, exopolysaccharides under pesticide stress. The results revealed were as Priestia megaterium Bacillus siamensis NRRU-BW9, amyloliquefaciens NRRU-TV11. These strains showed the ability to acid (IAA) (EPS) in chlorpyrifos. Moreover, these can chlorpyrifos (CP) an a...

Selecting seeds with high vigour eminently affects initial plant growth and determines stand. Various tests including electrical conductivity (EC), radicle emergence counts (RE), standard germination (SG) were used to assess the of eleven lentils (Lens culinaris L.) seed lots. Lentil lots over 75% normal germination, germinated use an ISTA test. The (2 mm) was tallied at constant intervals from...
