This study was carried out to determine the effects of different heavy metals and its doses on germination early seedling stage maize (Zea mays L.) at Akdeniz Univesity, Agricultural Faculty, Department Field Crops in 2017. Heavy such as lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) mercury (Hg) 0 (control), 100, 200, 400 800 mg L-1 were used experimental factors. research laid factorial ...

Agriculture provides a significant fraction of the food consumed worldwide. In Ecuador, large area is dedicated to production corn (Zea mays L.). However, progress current projections in agriculture may be directly affected by climate change and its effects. The present study aims evaluate impact on maize L.) crop yields over last 10 years (2010 - 2020) predict future under different scenarios ...

The effects of maize (Zea mays L.) phenology on establishment and adult emergence of the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) and plant damage to maize was evaluated in field trials in 2001 and 2002 and in the greenhouse. Although neonate western corn rootworm larvae were able to initially establish on maize roots during anthesis and early reproductive stages, these ol...

over production of uric acid by xanthine oxidase (xo) causes gout. xo inhibitors for example allopurinol are the most important available anti gout drugs. medicinal herbs are available natural sources that may be useful for the treatment of gout. in this study the inhibitory activity of aqueous extracts of matricaria chamomilla l., hypericum perforatum l., fraxinus excelsior l., zea mays l., tr...

Long-term selection in maize (Zea mays L.) favored single-stalked phenotypes limiting vegetative growth. However, reduced plant densities create conducive environments to the expression of branches called tillers. Tiller has motivated discussions about its yield effect variable environments, but tiller research is lacking for modern corn genotypes. The objectives this study were (a) quantify re...

Maize (Zea mays L.) breeders in the West and Central Africa have developed commercialized extra-early early-maturing maize hybrids, which combine high yield potentials with tolerance/resistance to drought, low soil-N Striga infestation. Hybrids of both maturity groups not been investigated for tolerance plant density N application are new farmers; th...

increasing resource use efficiency is one of the important ways to enhance agricultural productions and reduce environmental hazards. for this purpose, improvement of n use efficiency is an effective approach. nitrogen losses not only occur in field but also in the processing course. the objective of this study was to calculate nitrogen losses and efficiency during production to consumption for...
