Profitability assessment has prime importance for every crop husbandry practice and cultural operation. For this purpose, two field experiment was carried out to investigate the response of spring planted sunflower hybrids to different irrigation levels/schedules and foliar application of abscisic acid. Two studies were done at the Agronomic Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad,...

Yield of some crops performs better in the intercropping than sole cropping system. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) canopy is fragile providing a lot of ground cover, hence, therefore, has a great potential to intercrop with a short stature and/or duration crop making it comparable for the better net return in a cropping system. Field experiment was, therefore, expressly conducted to study the...

to investigate the effects of sowing date on yield and quality of six forage maize cultivars in rasht region, a field study was conducted in 2010. the experimental design was a randomized complete block using a factorial arrangement with three replications. treatments consisted of four levels of sowing date (22 may, 3, 15 and 25 june), and six maize cultivars (sc 260, dc 370, sc 500, sc 647, sc...

abstract in this study, impact of climate change on net irrigation requirement (in) and yield of wheat using cgcm3 climate projection model, one of the aogcm models, in behshahr area is evaluated. changes in temperature and precipitation were simulated run under the ipcc scenario a2 for 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 periods. this work was done by using statistical and proportional downscal...

Fungal diversity in the soil may be limited under natural conditions by inappropriate environmental factors such as: nutrient resources, biotic and abiotic factors, tillage system and microbial interactions that prevent the occurrence or survival of the species in the environment. The aim of this paper was to determine fungal genetic diversity and community level physiological profiling of micr...

Soybean seeds and cotyledons suffer great damage by the Rufous Turtle Dove in Japan, depending upon the time of seed sowing. In our experimental field at Tsukuba, in 1983, almost all plants were eaten until the middle of May. Doves concentrated in fields where soybean seeds had been planted from the late April to the middle of May. After the middle of May, they came to the fields where wheat an...
