COMPARATIVE studies of elephant and the F1 hybrids between ‘maiwa’ Cultivar millet (Pennisetum americanum) grass (P. purpureum) indicated a superiority in quality hybrids. To ascertain this potential animal performance was measured by exciting beef production on Pennisetum hybrid pastures consisting random mixture genotype which were grazed from July 28 to December 6. 1972 (132 days) 18 24 mont...

The knowledge of selenium (Se) partitioning in treatment wetlands and wetland vegetation management are essential for long-term effective operation of constructed wetlands treating Se-laden agricultural tile-drainage in central California. In this field study, samples from different compartments of treatment wetlands were collected and the vegetation change in each wetland cell was examined fou...

The effect of osmotic stress (-0.35 MPa) on the cell water balance and apical growth was studied non-invasively for maize (Zea mays L., cv. LG 11) and pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L., cv. MH 179) by (1)H NMR microscopy in combination with water uptake measurements. Single parameter images of the water content and the transverse relaxation time (T(2)) were used to discriminate between the...
