Sustainable nutrient management approaches could improve production and quality without affecting soil health. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the interactive effects of mulching (no mulch, plastic straw mulch) nanobiochar (NBC) foliar application on biomass, contents, metabolites in leaf curd cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). After 20 days transplantation, NBC (0.1%...

There has been relatively little study on time-dependent mechanical properties of nanowires, in spite of their importance for the design, fabrication and operation of nanoscale devices. Here we report a dislocation-mediated, time-dependent and fully reversible plastic behaviour in penta-twinned silver nanowires. In situ tensile experiments inside scanning and transmission electron microscopes s...

Purpose: Water saving practices are crucial for crop production in drought prone areas. This study was conducted Bugesera District, the Eastern Province of Rwanda. The objective to determine effect irrigation levels and mulching types on growth yields beans. 
 Methodology: A split plot experiment consisting three as main plots (no mulch, grass mulch plastic mulch) subplots, a Randomized Co...

Corn is a horticultural commodity that people love because it contains lot of high-quality nutrition and beneficial for human health. One the examples sweet corn. Sweet corn usually planted in plateu, needs some environmental manipulation to be low plain. The purpose this research find out about role mulch plant space setting, with hope organic setting will produce good results plants grow plai...

An experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at research farm Dr. Y S Parmar University Horticulture Forestry in Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh to study effects different planting methods, mulches addition natural organic acids (NAAs) on bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) growth yield. The involved 12 treatments 2 3 mulching levels, levels NAA a Randomized ...

Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), management is constrained, in large part, by polydomy where nestmates are distributed extensively across urban landscapes, particularly within mulch. Management with trap-mulching is a novel approach derived from trap-cropping where ants are repelled from a broad domain of nest sites to smaller defined areas, which are subsequently treated with insectic...
