<p>Rice is an essential staple food in Nepal but researches and varietal improvement programs are rarely carried out due to inadequate variability study. The field study was diagnose the influence of genetic environmental factors on yield traits aid future rice breeding programs. Twelve genotypes were arranged randomized complete block design with three replications from July November 201...

In winter wheat, grain development is asynchronous. The grain number and grain weight vary significantly at different spikelet and grain positions among wheat cultivars grown at different plant densities. In this study, two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, 'Wennong6' and 'Jimai20', were grown under four different plant densities for two seasons, in order to study the effect of pla...

Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansion, and final grain weight at different positions within spikelets were investigated in a recombinant inbred line mapping population of bread wheat ...

In this paper, the possibility of mechanical coating of aluminum with either Ni or SiC using planetary ball mill was studied. The Al substrate was fixed inside of the vial lid of a planetary ball mill filled with milling balls and starting powder. The phase analysis and crystallite size measurement of the coatings were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Scanning electron micro...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) on growth, yield and protein content as well know combined application MSWC NPK fertilizers in rice (cv. BRRI dhan49). There were six treatments including- T0 = Control (No fertilizer or no MSWC); T1= 100% Recommended Doses Fertilizers (RDF) NPK; T2 (MSWC @ 5 t ha-1+ 75% RDF); T3= 7. 5t 50% T4= 10 ha-1 + 25%...

The Hapcheon impact crater is the only meteorite identified on Korean peninsula. However, morphology of and nature collision are unknown. In this study, we analyzed sedimentary facies using grain size data; computed tomography images, 14 C, 10 Be, optically stimulated luminescence dating a >66-m-long sediment core (20HCL04) recovered from Basin. Four units types were documented in Basin ...

High-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to examine the grain structure in long rods of ultrafine-grain (UFG) commercial-purity titanium produced for medical implants. The UFG material was obtained by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) using a Conform scheme followed by rod drawing. The microstructure was found to be bimodal consisting of relatively coarse elongated g...

This paper summarises six studies undertaken by the Sheep CRC to elucidate certain aspects of confinement feeding of sheep. A review of confinement feeding highlighted the variability of growth rate and feed conversion of sheep and revealed that little is known about the use of sorghum for feeding sheep. The review indicated that the main factors responsible for variation of growth rate and fee...

Production and productivity of upland rice is still very low due to limited water in the ecosystem. The objective this study was evaluate yields varieties at several levels soil content. experiment conducted Growth Centre LLDIKTI Wilayah I Medan from March July 2013. This research used a factorial randomized block design with two factors replicated three times. Five as first factor, namely Batu...
