in this research, host stage preference of parasitoid wasp, aphidius matricariae haliday in choice and no-choice tests and functional response of the parasitoid were investigated on common wheat aphid, schizaphis graminum rondani on the alvand cultivar in laboratory conditions at 20, 25 and 30 °c, rh 70 ±10 % and a photoperiod of 16 h l : 8 h d. the maximum mean parasitisms in choice and no-cho...

Lentil (Lens culinaris, Medik.), an accessible low-cost high-quality protein form for many people, is a salt-sensitive legume, which already at electrical conductivity (EC) of 3 dS/m (~30 mM NaCl) has yield loss about 90% compared to other crops. Identifying salinity-tolerant lentil germplasm nowadays primary importance ensuring the production superfood and sustainability industry. In this stud...

This paper is devoted to construction of fuzzy preference relations and to showing how this construction is connected with Lukasiewicz filters and TL-evaluators. We will study also extensions of Lukasiewicz filters on subsets of some X 6= ∅ to TL-evaluators on the system (lattice) of fuzzy functions f : X → [0, 1].

In decision making, in order to avoid misleading solutions, the study of consistency when the decision makers express their opinions by means of preference relations becomes a very important aspect in order to avoid misleading solutions. In decision making problems based on fuzzy preference relations the study of consistency is associated with the study of the transitivity property. In this pap...

The effect of water deficit on stem reserve mobilization and sink activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, viz., C306 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) was studied. Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean b...

Here, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of the Saccharum hybrid cultivar RB867515, the most planted sugarcane cultivar in Brazil.

An investigation was carried out with nine green leafy vegetables (GLV’s) with their popular varieties most commonly grown in India to determine their biochemical composition. Among leafy vegetables ascorbic acid was found maximum in Chenopod cultivar Bathua Local (60.6 mg/100 g fw.) followed by Pusa Bathua -1 (23.0 mg/100g fw.) and spinach cultivar PS-1 (51 mg/100 g fw.). Significantly high le...

Abstract Participatory plant breeding and rapid sensory evaluation are effective techniques for organic cultivar development. Table beet is an important crop growers, geosmin, a volatile compound which confers earthy aroma, has been suggested as the attribute around hedonic liking of organized. Open pollinated table populations with diverse pigmentation low (LGC) or high (HGC) geosmin concentra...

Bush yam has been underutilized and underrated for long due to its undesirable attributes or traits, hence the commercial food security potentials of crop have downgraded unexploited. This paper, therefore, explored Ghanaian bush consumers’ decisionmaking behaviour towards crop’s cultivar selection values they place on diverse attributes. With aim examining preference willingness pay yam, we de...
