A field trial was conducted at the research farm of RRL, Jorhat during 1995 and 1996 to study the performance of Mentha Piperita under varying dates of planting and row spacings, maximum herbage and oil yield were obtained from January plants crops. Yield deceased when planting was delayed planting at a closer row spacing of 45 cm recorded the maximum herbage yield of 61'92 q/a while the yield ...

Balancing forest harvesting and restoration is critical for forest ecosystem management. In this study, we used LANDIS, a spatially explicit forest landscape model, to evaluate the effects of 21 alternative forest management initiatives which were drafted for forests in the upstream region of the Hun River in northeastern China. These management initiatives included a wide range of planting and...

This paper presents an automatic approach to planting areas extraction for mixed vegetation and hilly region, more cloud using moderate spatial resolution and high temporal resolution MODIS data around Guangxi province, south of China. According to banana growth lasting more 9 to 11 months, and the areas are reduced during crush season, the Maximum likelihood was used to extract the information...

McMaster, G.S., Klepper, B., Rickman, R.W., Wilhelm, W.W. and Willis, W.O., 1991. Simulation of shoot vegetative development and growth of unstressed winter wheat. Ecol. Modelling, 53: 189-204. Mechanistic crop simulation models can aid in directing research and improving farm management. Recent research on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) canopy development was consolidated into a model of ...

Soil infiltration processes manage runoff generation, which in turn affects soil erosion. There is limited information on infiltration rates. In this study, the impact of vine age on soil bulk density (BD) and hydraulic conductivity (Ks) was assessed on a loam soil tilled by chisel plough. Soil sampling was conducted in the inter row area of six vineyards, which differed by the age from plantin...

ICD shocks can result from a variety of etiologies; determining the proper etiology of the inappropriate shock is essential for correction of the problem. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can mimic cardiac signals and cause inappropriate defibrillator shocks. We present two cases of inappropriate ICD shocks due to EMI and reversal of the proximal and distal DF-1 lead terminals of the ICD lead...

Yield and control of burrowing nematode disease Musa spp as affected by planting depth poultry manure rates soil organic amendment were studied in a 3x3x2 factorial experiment randomized complete block design with six replicates. The amendments applied two spp. was apllied at the rate 0 t/ha, 5 t/ha 10 while 30cm, 45cm, 60cm respectively. served control. result analysis showed that population d...
