The experiment was conducted at Khairahani-5, Chitwan, Nepal from 28th February to 20th June 2021. Twenty single cross maize hybrids were evaluated for quantitative and qualitative traits. in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data recorded on flowering traits, physiological disease agro-morphological yield contributing Analysis of variance showed significant dif...

The present investigation was carried out to assess the genetic variability parameters, correlation and path analysis in twenty-one maize genotypes for sixteen quantitative traits Kharif seasons at Field Experimentation Centre, Department of Genetics Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology Sciences, Uttar Pradesh Randomized Block Design r...

Abstract Introduction The zinc micronutrient fertilizers have a critical impact on the grain productivity and quality attributes of maize. However, low use-efficiency issues applied Zn-fertilizers are required to be addressed through development novel formulations alternative application techniques. Objectives This field study investigates comparative seed invigoration (including priming coatin...

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2022 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Departmentof Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) to investigate the “Growth and productivity Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids under agro-climatic conditions Prayagraj, U.P., India”. The treatments consist 10 hybrids. laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten replicated thrice. study obtained that significant m...

The field study was carried out at the Department of Agronomy, Eastern Block Farm in Tamil Nadu Agriculture University Coimbatore, to effect Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on yield attributes and hybrid maize. Total fourteen treatment were followed which twelve treatments ZnONPs 50,100,200 300 ppm administered two stages viz., knee height stage (30-35 DAS) tasseling (46-56 one foliar spray 0...

A field experiment entitled was conducted during summer season of 2020 and 2021 at the research farm Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, with an objective to study effect microclimatic regime integrated nutrient management in maize. The laid out a split-plot design 3 replications. Results revealed that among different regimes, crop sown on 15th March resulted significantly higher values almo...

We studied the kinetics of reactions of cob(I)alamin and cob(I)inamide with thiosulfate, sulfite, and dithionite by UV-Visible (UV-Vis) and stopped-flow spectroscopy. We found that the two Co(I) species were oxidized by these sulfur-containing compounds to Co(II) forms: oxidation by excess thiosulfate leads to penta-coordinate complexes and oxidation by excess sulfite or dithionite leads to hex...

Carboxymethylcellulases (CMCases) of Arachniotus citrinus were produced under solid state fermentation on different carbon sources including wheat bran, corn cob, alkali treated corn cob and mixture of wheat bran and alkali treated corn cob at 30C for 15 days. In this case, mixture of wheat bran and corn cob was observed to be the best carbon source as maximum specific activity (4.2 U mg protei...

A balance trial aimed at determining the energy values of sorghum Distiller's wastes (SDW), Maize cob(MC) and shea butter waste (SBW) for barrows was conducted using a 4 X Latin square cross-over experimental design. While feed intake influenced (P<0.05) by test ingredients, weight gained not significantly affected (P>0.05). Digestibilities dry matter gross (GE) as well metabolizability d...
