A field experiment was conducted at College farm, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during 2020-21 and 2021-22 to assess the influence of paddy residue management practices different fertility levels on certain growth parameters yield rabi maize succeeding kharif rice in a strip plot design. The analysis indicated that leaf area index, crop ...

1 The savanna–forest boundary in the tropics is marked by a discontinuity not only in tree density, but also in species composition, with few tree species regularly occurring in both savanna and forest environments. 2 We performed comparative growth analysis for nine congeneric pairs, each containing one savanna species and one forest species, grown in a factorial design involving two light and...

in this work, the effects of silicon (si) supplementation were studied in pistachio (pistacia veral. cv ahmadaghaii) plants exposed to high salinity stress. plants were grown in pots undercontrol and salt (ec=15 ds m-1) conditions without or with si treatment (0.35 g na2sio3 kg-1soil) under field conditions. salt stress reduced the plants’ growth significantly in both –si and+si plants; however...

Genotype, environment and agronomic practices are key determinants of crop growth productivity which important to provide food, feed, raw materials income small holder farmers in Africa. The study was conducted at Crop museum, Sokoine University Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania investigate physiological response groundnut calcium phosphorus nutrition among three improved genotypes Mangaka (G1), ...

We studied seed germination and seedling growth of the Mexican sunflower Tithonia diversifolia in Nigeria. This involved the usage of some dormancy-releasing methods and the effect of some concentrations of three herbicide formulations on the young seedlings. Initial germination tests on fresh and stored seeds revealed a low percentage germination of less than 30%. The seeds of the weed exhibit...

in order reaching to occurate water regime in the condition of minimum tillage and its effect on the yield and yield component physiological index of rice varieties, a experiment had carried out the agronomey year of 2006-2007 in the research field of shavour station. the experiment had carried out in split-plot design some randomized complete block with three replication that contains three wa...

It has been hypothesized that slow-growing plants are more likely to maximize above-ground biomass and fitness when defoliated by herbivores than those with an already high relative growth rate (RGR). Some populations of the annual herb Datura stramonium L. can tolerate foliar damage better than others. The physiological basis of this difference is examined here in a comparative study of two ec...

introduction lentil with about 28 percent protein occupies the second after soybean. it is one of the major crops in developing countries as a complement to cereals and is an excellent source of protein and amino acids in the diet. results of studies shown that for most crops, including lentil, the occurrence of drought stress in some phenology stages cause irreparable damages to yield. therefo...

Black and red rice contain nutritional values not found in white rice. They anthocyanins which are beneficial to health. Drought stress can potentially reduce yield. So, it is necessary develop local black into tolerant cultivars. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with cultivar factor (V) drought level (K). treatment was carried out when the plants were 35-95 DAP (days after ...
