Strong seedling vigor is desirable trait in dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) for enhancing crop establishment and the ability to compete against weeds. A set of 253 BC3F4 lines derived from cross between Swarna and Moroberekan was phenotyped for early vigor (EV) and 8 related traits viz., early uniform emergence (EUE), shoot length (SHL), stem length (SL), shoot fresh weight (SFW), total fresh weig...

Although pesticides are typically used to limit pest population, the diversity and nature of their unintentional effects on non-target organisms remain unclear. Better understanding these requires carry out risk assessments key physiological behavioral processes specific beneficial insects. In this study, we addressed question by exposing mothers European earwig (a insect) two sublethal doses d...

Optimum growing temperature is necessary for maximum yield-potential in any crop. The global atmospheric changing more rapidly and irregularly every year. High at the flowering/reproductive stage rice causes partial to complete pollen sterility, resulting significant reduction grain yield. Green Super Rice (GSR) an effort develop elite type that can withstand multiple environmental stresses mai...

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is one of the most important forage grass species in Europe. In Portugal 34% of the cultivated area is dedicated to animal fodder. Italian ryegrass area in Entre Douro e Minho (EDM) region was mainly with landraces. Changes in traditional agricultural systems are contributing to a major loss of genetic diversity mainly to landraces. Portuguese Italian ...

The experiment was conducted at Khairahani-5, Chitwan, Nepal from 28th February to 20th June 2021. Twenty single cross maize hybrids were evaluated for quantitative and qualitative traits. in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data recorded on flowering traits, physiological disease agro-morphological yield contributing Analysis of variance showed significant dif...

The study compares gross revenues from modern rice varieties and landraces and valuates different useful traits of rice landraces to demonstrate an empirical methodology for biodiversity valuation. A sample of 200 rice growers in hills and plain area was surveyed for commercialization of agro-biodiversity project. For estimating the value put by the consumers on different rice traits a hedonic ...
