An experiment was conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment using different combinations of magnetic field intensities and time duration, on germination and seedling attributes in North Indian variety of tomato (var. Pusa Ruby). Seeds were exposed to static magnetic fields (SMF) of strength 50, 100 and 120 mT for 5, 10, 15, 2...

 Study Design: Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD).
 Place Duration Study: Agricultural Engineering College Research Institute, TNAU, Kumulur, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.
 Methodology: seed crop was harvested threshed using four v...

salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses that affect rice (oryza sativa l.) production in worldwide. salt and drought tolerance and high seedling vigor of rice is one of the important traits in the establishment of seedling in direct planting system and saline and drought environments. in this research, the mapping population of f2:4 families derived from the cross between local vari...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), as a cereal grain, is the most widely consumed staple food for large part of world’s human population, especially in Asia and Africa. production often subjected to several biotic abiotic stresses. sheath blight one destructive diseases causing economic losses rice yields affecting quality worldwide. Twenty soil samples were collected from rhizosphere crop different regio...

Staying vigorous throughout the day is important for work related behaviour, subjective well being, and for effective functioning in the family domain. This study examined trait vigour (i.e. a person’s general level of vigour), day specific workload (time pressure, work hours), and recovery resulting from unwinding during leisure time as predictors of day specific vigour as experienced at the e...

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...

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...

The germination stage, which is known to be the most sensitive period of plant development, very salt stress. To determine how stress affected behaviour Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe, seeds were germinated at gradually increasing concentrations. detrimental effect increased parallelly concentration. morphological and physiological changes analysed in each application detect...
