This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of onion extract on growth performance, carcass characteristics and some blood metabolites in Ross and Cobb broiler chickens. One hundred sixty, 1-d-old broiler chickens (mean initial weight: 36.5 ± 1 g) of male sex (Ross-308 and Cobb) were randomly conducted as randomized complete design with 4 treatment and 4 replication. The experimental grou...

abstract in this study, seven main field crops of the rudasht and abshar irrigation networks of esfahan (with 54,000 ha designed command area) such as wheat, barley, onion, sunflower, fodder mays and sugar beet were selected and swap model was calibrated by inverse modeling base on field experiments results in order to determine crop water salinity production functions. field experiments were c...

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a worldwide pest of onion, Allium cepa L., can reduce onion yield by > 50% and be even more problematic when it transmits Iris yellow spot virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, IYSV). Because T. tabaci is difficult to control with insecticides and other strategies, field studies on onion, Allium cepa L., resistance to T. ta...

this study was conducted to compare different propagation methods and two cultivars (azarshar red, and kashan white) as a rcbd in factorial with four replications in shirvan in 2001. in azarshar red onion, high yield belonged to sets method that 30 percent more than seed sowing. in kashan white bulb cultivar, high yield was get from seedling cultivation and there were no significant differences...

Water is a scarce resource in Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia and major limiting factor for crop production. Onion one the economically important vegetable crops grown under irrigation central rift valley. The field experiment was conducted at Melkasa agricultural research center during dry season to identify conventional furrow application level with without mulch that maximizes productivity o...

A study of an enzyme that reacts with the sulfenic acid produced by the alliinase in Petiveria alliacea L. (Phytolaccaceae) to yield the P. alliacea lachrymator (phenylmethanethial S-oxide) showed the protein to be a dehydrogenase. It functions by abstracting hydride from sulfenic acids of appropriate structure to form their corresponding sulfines. Successful hydride abstraction is dependent up...
