Field experiment was undertaken at research farm of IARI, New Delhi to study the effect change in microenvironment under different colour shade nets during summer and rainy season, 2012 on yield spinach. Spinach crop sown such as red, green, black, white along with control (without net) season. Crop duration from sowing harvesting 62 days 58 Different weather parameters were measured regular in...

The effects of four commercial substrates, a peat-based substrate, and three coir types (coir pith, chips, pith + fibers) on yield, phytochemical accumulation, antioxidant activity were evaluated in Spinacia oleracea L. cv. ‘Manatee’. Soil-blocked spinach seedlings transplanted into Styrofoam planting boxes filled with the substrate. Each box was irrigated daily by drip complete nutrient soluti...

1. The quantum yield of oxygen liberation by spinach and Tradescantia chloroplasts suspended in solutions containing ferric oxalate and potassium ferricyanide varied from 0.013 to 0.080. 2. It was concluded that the nature of this oxygen liberation reaction is not fundamentally different from the formation of oxygen in normal photosynthesis, with respect to its light efficiency.

Toxic heavy metals accumulate in crops from the environment through different routes and may interfere with biochemical reactions humans, causing serious health consequences. Plasma technology has been assessed for promotion of seed germination plant growth several past studies. Therefore, aim present study was to evaluate whether rate plants can be increased application non-thermal plasma, as ...
