zinc (zn) and copper (cu) are essential elements and increased plant growth in low concentrations. while high concentrations of these elements as a limiting factor, can cause adverse symptoms on the plants. in the present study, the uptake of micronutrient and macronutrient by pennyroyal were studied in a zn and cu deficiency and toxicity in soil. three levels of copper (0, 5 and 25 mg/kg) and ...

screening methods that are effective in the early stage of growth will potentially provide the largest quantity of breeding material. although various screening methods under greenhouse have been proposed, potential effective approaches must be described a good correlation with results under field conditions. this study was aimed to assess the correlations between traits obtained from four salt...

South Africa has been described as a melting pot of different cultures, adding to the rich South African heritage, boasting eleven official languages. This cultural diversity, however, poses quite a unique challenge for designers of software, especially in the design of e-commerce websites. This paper describes an experiment with the net-generation and the effects of culture on users’ perceptio...

Carbofuran is moderately mobile in soil which could lead to ground water pollution and accumulation in plant tissues. A study was carried out to investigate the adsorption, leaching and accumulation of carbofuran in edible tissues in three soil series of Sri Lanka namely Chankanai, Inuvil and Navatkuli. For the adsorption study, soil samples were shaken with carbofuran having 625μg for 2 hours....

The pot experiment was carried out to quantify the effect of different organic wastes in rice yield and to determine the effect on soil fertility. The experiment was laid down in a complete randomized design taking 11 treatments with three replicates. The applied treatments were; (1) Control, (2) Recommended doses of NPK, (3) HW 10%, (4) HW 20%, (5) HW 30%, (6) PM 10%, (7) PM 20%, (8) PM: 30%, ...

In a pot experiment, the potential use of 10 plant species, including six dicotyledon species and four monocotyledon species, was investigated for the EDTA-enhanced phytoextraction of Pb from contaminated soil. Mung bean and buckwheat had a higher sensitivity to the EDTA treatment in soils. In the 2.5 and 5.0 mmol kg(-1) EDTA treatments, the Pb concentrations in the shoots of the six dicotyledo...

A laboratory experiment was conducted with bean seeds kept in three different containers viz. tin pot, poly bag and jute bag and stored at room temperature and RH for three months in the Laboratory of Agronomy Department, Sher-eBangla Agricultural University to study their storage behavior, germination percentage and quality. The seed of jute bag came to the contact with air and their moisture ...
