The influence of organic amendments and inorganic fertilizers on cabbage head was investigated to determine their effect on storage behavior and organoleptic quality. Field cabbage was raised by combining fourteen different treatments comprising of organic amendments and inorganic fertilizers at different levels. The result showed that nutrient schedule of the crop significantly influenced the ...

The present study focuses on the nutritional, phytochemical composition, and antioxidant activities of fruits Rourea minor (Gaertn.) Alston., an underutilized plant species. ripened seeds contained 0.28%, 12.39%, 25.70%, 1.4%, 3.4% fat, protein, carbohydrate, ash, fiber, respectively, whereas pulp possessed 0.19%, 0.34%, 0.90%, 0.35%, 0.98% carbohydrates, respectively. seed were also rich in mi...

Orthophosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient that plays a central role in virtually all major metabolic processes in plants, particularly photosynthesis and respiration. Many metabolites are Pi monoesters, whereas the phosphoanhydride bonds of compounds such asATP function to transfer energy from the energyyielding process of photo-, oxidative, and substratelevel phosphorylation to the ene...

Two field experiments were conducted at Sakha Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt during 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons, to study the effect of mineral and bio-fertilizers as well as their combinations on morphology, anatomy, yield and quality of sugar beet. Bio-fertilizers were phosphorine, cerealine and yeast; however, mineral fertilizers were 50, 75 and 100% from recommended...

An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2011 to March 2012 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of manures and fertilizers on the growth, yield and nutrient uptake by wheat. There were six treatments such as T0 (Control), T1 [STB-CF (HYG)], T2 [CD + STB-CF (HYG)], T3 [PM + STB-CF (HYG)], T4 [COM + STB...
