The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during August, 2008 to January 2009 to find out the optimum plant spacing and number of seedling per hill in relation to tillering and dry matter accumulation of transplanted rice plant. The experiment was carried out with three plant spacings (S =15 cm × 20 cm, S = 20 cm × 20 cm and S...

The effects of periodicity perturbations in underwater phononic crystal layers composed of noninterpenetrating rows of identical shells are investigated. The results for one row are obtained by using a multiple scattering method between shells. Then, taking into account the multiple reflections and transmissions between two adjacent rows, a Debye series method is used to calculate the reflectio...

in arid, semiarid, and mediterranean climates, particularly in west asia and north africa, farmers face limited water resources and must develop irrigation management methods to increase crop production while reducing water use. this study examined methods to reduce irrigation water loss and increase maize water productivity at safiabad agricultural research center in dezful, iran in 2007 and 2...

A two year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of three row and eight row seeding on the total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), hydrolyzed (HTC) and condensed tannin (CTC), antioxidant activity (ABTS assay), protein content and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) in the extracts of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) and grass pea (La...

This paper investigates the reliability characteristics of a complex system having nine subsystems arranged in the form of 3x3 matrix in which each row contains three subsystems. The configuration of the row is of the type 2-out-of-3: F. Each subsystem has n units connected in series. The system fails if any one row containing three subsystems fails. The considered system analyzed incorporating...

plant dry matter accumulation has a linear relation with accumulative photosynthetically active radiation (par). intercropping could be a strategy for increasing light absorption in agronomic systems and it may improve radiation use efficiency (rue). thus this study was conducted in order to evaluate radiation absorption and use efficiency in potato (solanum tuberosum l.) –corn (zea mays l.) in...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and yield Azman banana (AAA, Cavendish subgroup) variety subjected increasing planting densities. trial prepared using single (1.8 x 2.0 m), pair (1.2 1.2 triangle (1.5 1.8 m) row systems. There a significant difference in pseudostem length, circumstance, leaf width with regard different Maximum length observed system (216.00 cm), but maximu...

to yield reductions (Higley, 1992; Hunt et al., 1994; Haile et al., 1998). Hunt et al. (1994) concluded that removal Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers in many regions of of leaf area delayed the time to achieve a critical leaf the USA are confronted with significant yield losses because of crop damage from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Our objecarea index (LAI) of 3.5, li...

Quenching cooling rate of rotary hollow cylinder by one row of water impinging jets has been experimentally studied. Water jets (d = 8 mm) with sub-cooling 55 to 85 ◦C and Reynolds number 8,006 to 36,738 impinged over rotary hot hollow cylinder (rotation speed 10 to 70 rpm) with initial temperature 250 to 600 ◦C. Impingement impact angle of row of jets varied between 0 to 135 ◦ and jet-to-jet s...
