Effects of cold plasma treatment on soybean (Glycine max L. Merr cv. Zhongdou 40) seed germination and seedling growth were studied. Seeds were pre-treated with 0, 60, 80, 100 and 120 W of cold plasma for 15 s. Results showed that plasma treatments had positive effects on seed germination and seedling growth, and treatment of 80 W had the highest stimulatory effect. Germination and vigor indice...

A pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions to study the effect of phosphorus fertilization soil moisture content on some growth indicators, yield and seed nitrogen phosphorous for two wheat cultivars, Adnaniah Sham-6, in calcareous suffering from a lack available phosphorus. The results indicated that led an improvement plant growth, as it caused increase relative water leaves, ...

This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of Zn fertilizer on  seed storage proteins  in chickpea, Azad cultivar. Experiment was performed in an factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (I1= non irrigation and I2= irrigation in...

The present investigation was carried out to study the induced mutagenesis of EMS (Ethyl methane sulphonate) on the seed germination, seedling survival and LD50 value of Catharanthus roseus. The seeds of Vinca rosea were treated with different concentration of EMS viz., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 mM. The untreated seeds were taken as control. The EMS treated and control seeds were...

Five cotton cultivars were crossed in a complete diallel to study the inheritance of different polygenic traits. Genotypic differences were found to be significant (P<0.01) for all the characters. Adequacy tests disclosed that data of all the parameters were fully adequate for genetic analysis except bolls per plant, staple length, fibre strength, and fibre fineness, which was partially or not ...

An experiment was designed in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu during two successive summer seasons, 2021 and 2022, to investigate the effects of high night temperature (HNT) (ambient+3oC) CO2 (600ppm) on yield seed quality parameters green gram under ten treatments SPAR (Soil Plant Atmospheric Research) ambient conditions. The objective this research i) quantify short-term HNT contribution factors (ii) ...

effect of electron beam irradiation on degradability coefficients and ruminal- postruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of soybean meal, canola meal and lathyrus sativus seed, irradiated at doses of 50, 100 and 150 kgy was investigated. ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein was determined by in situ method using two cannulated holstein heifers. ruminal- postrumi...
