in order to study the effect of irrigation intervals and intecropped marjoram (origanum vulgare) (as a shading crop for reducing the possible effects of soil warming due to climate change) on the growth and yield of saffron (crocus sativus), a field experiment was conducted as split-plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2008 and 2009 at the agricultural ...

APETALA2 (AP2) is best known for its role in the regulation of flower meristem and flower organ identity and development in Arabidopsis. We show here that AP2 also plays an important role in determining seed size, seed weight, and the accumulation of seed oil and protein. We demonstrate genetically that AP2 acts through the maternal sporophyte and endosperm genomes to control seed weight and se...

management of organic and inorganic fertilizer application and residual of them are very important in their effect on environment and plant yield. in order to determine the effect of drought stress and different amendments on flower, essential oil and chamazulene yield and its components of matricaria chamomilla l., this study was conducted as a split plot design with three replications, at agr...

Five reproductive efficiency methods (REM) were evaluated under field condition to measure yield in 12 varieties of Brassica campestris L. in 2005 and 2006 at Mymensingh (2475′ N latitude and 9050′ E longitude) based on flower and siliqua production and total reproductive unit (TRUnumber of buds, flowers, siliqua and number of empty pedicels). Five REMs were estimated and they were REM-I [ (Mat...

An experiment was carried out in the field laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to investigate the flowering pattern, floral and pod abscission under untreated and GABA (mixture of GA3 and Abscissic acid) treated soybean and their trends concern to yield. The variety of soybean PB-1 (Shohag) was used in the investigation. GABA at 0.5, 1.0 ...

in this research, the effect of foliar spraying times and different levels of farmax® nano fertilizer on morphological characteristic and dry and fresh flower yield, essential oil and chamazulene percentage of chamomile (matricaria recutita l.) cv. bodegold was studied. the experiment was factorial in the bacic of randomized complete blocked design (rcbd) with eight treatment and four replicati...

Flower strips are commonly recommended to boost biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services (e.g., pollination and pest control) on farmland. However, significant knowledge gaps remain regards the extent to which they deliver on these aims. Here, we tested the efficacy of flower strips that targeted different subsets of beneficial arthropods (pollinators and natural enemies) and their ecosyste...

Floriculture is a discipline of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants for floral industry and for garden. In Floriculture the accurate forecasting of the yield and their estimation from the raw data are playing the important role in the planning of various aspects of Horticulture production. In most cases, such counting procedure is performed manually, whi...
