Eight spring wheat cultivars were evaluated under three heat stress conditions (early, late and very late) in order to identify suitable cultivars to develop heattolerant genotypes resistant to future global warming. Results from the study indicate that stress did not negatively affect flag leaf area in ‘Prodip’ and ‘Sufi’, flag leaf dry matter partitioning in ‘Prodip’, ‘BARI Gom-26’ and ‘S...

Highlights We developed a land suitability framework for sustainable manure utilization based on seven water quality-related environmental vulnerability factors. ArcGIS-based decision-support tools were that use readily available data the U.S. The can be adapted to any location in livestock agricultural system. In case study, 19.9% of study area was identified as potentially suitable utilizatio...

We study stationary and axially symmetric black hole-disk systems, assuming a combination of the DD2 Timmes-Swesty equations state three-parameter family rotation laws. There exist two branches solutions that are shown to bifurcate, for suitable specific entropy parameter in law. Low nuclear matter allows existence moderately massive Keplerian disks.

Bt-cotton germplasm, consisting of 75 genotypes was evaluated against cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) under high inoculum pressure in the field and using graft inoculation in glasshouse by visual symptom scoring assessments. None of the tested genotype was found disease free under both evaluation tests. Under field conditions in 2011, 3 genotypes were found resistant, 4 moderately resistant, 3...
