Panicoid grasses are major weeds of maize and sugarcane as well as of several other important grains, including sorghum, pearl millet, and foxtail millet. Pot trials were conducted to study the activity and potential interactions of topramezone in mixture with recommended rates of rimsulfuron or nicosulfuron on three annual panicoid grasses (i.e. Echinochloa oryzoides, E. phyllopogon, and Panic...

The archaeobotanical samples analysed derive from a well-preserved well dated to the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt) according to pottery found in the sampled layers and on a radiocarbon dating (720-520 cal B.C.) of the wooden construction of the well. Cultivated plants (Panicum miliaceum, Linum usitatissimum, Papaver somniferum and Camelina sativa) were recorded in relatively small numbers whereas ...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was grown with inoculation of four indigenous AM fungal species in presence of different levels of mine spoil under green house conditions. The growth parameters such as biomass production, grain yield, per cent root infection and number of viable AM fungal spores in the rhizosphere of the mycorrhizal proso millet grown with 25% mine spoil were higher over th...

An assemblage of charred plant remains collected from 26 sites in the Yiluo valley of North China as part of an archaeological survey spans the period from the sixth millennium to 1300 calibrated calendrical years (cal) B.C. The plant remains document a long sequence of crops, weeds, and other plants in the country. The results also demonstrate the effectiveness of sediment sampling as part of ...

The paper presents tests connected to the torrefaction of agro-biomass residues as a case biomass valorisation. aim work is compare changes in energy and chemical properties millet stalk (Panicum miliaceum L.) before after process. was done by using scale reactor two temperatures, 275oC 300oC, an N2 atmosphere. torrefied at 300oC has more promising parameters, i.e., higher heating value HHV 24,...
