Considering the crucial focus on plant developments as high yielding, protein, and disease-resistant varieties, in this study, the genetic diversity and nutritional traits of available kidney bean germplasms found in Bangladesh have been evaluated based on seventeen quantitative and six nutritional traits. Analysis of genotypic, phenotypic variance and covariance showed that higher environmenta...

research on crop response to deficit irrigation is important to reduce agriculture water use in areas where water is limited resource. using drought resistant landraces with irrigation scheduling based on phenological stages in semi-arid and arid regions may provide an opportunity to optimize irrigation efficiency and water savings in these regions. in order to evaluate of yield and yield compo...

In this study, some growth parameters, protein content and fatty acids properties of ten different sesame populations cultivated in Southeastern Anatolia were investigated. Protein oil contents the varied between 19.60-24.85 % 30.16-40.36 %, respectively. Oleic acid (43.42-45.05 %), linoleic (38.12-39.80 palmitic (9.33-9.83 %) stearic (5.33 to 5.63 predominant compounds seed oil. Cultivated exh...

management of chemical fertilizers application is very important issues on environment and plant yield especially in arid and-semi arid region. in order to determine the effects of drought stresses and fertilizer levels on quantity and quality yields of psyllium (plantago ovata l.), a study was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the natur...

The essential oil from seed coats of Thuja orientalis L. (Family cupressaceae) obtained in an yield of 1% has been studied for its antimicrobial activity against 6 bacteria and 5 fungi using filter paper disc agar diffusion technique. The oil has shown good to moderate activity of the oil against all six test bacteria. The activity of the oil against S. typhi has been found remarkable at 1:1000...
