Silvereyes, Zosterops lateralis Latham, commonly feed on kiwifruit rejected for export and either stored in open bins at packhouses or in piles ready to be fed to livestock, and may play a role in the spread of wild kiwifruit in native and exotic forest in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. We determined the germination rate and percentage germination of Actinidia chinensis Planch. seed sown (1) a...

to evaluate the effect of row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and agronomical traits of common bean cultivars, a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008 and 2009 cropping years. experimental treatments were row spacing in three levels of 20, 30 and 40 cm as main plot an...

Wild oat has two seeds in a spikelet that they have different physiological behavior in regard of  seed germiantion. The upper seed of spikelet is smaller and has deeper dormancy than the lower seed. The range of temperature for germination is  5˚C  to  25 ˚C  and optimal temperature is 15˚C. Both kinds of seeds showed the more  germination rate in low temperatures so that 5 and 10˚C are better...

in order to study the effect of planting date, row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and protein yield of faba bean (vicia faba l.), a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at research station of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2008-2010 for two years. experimental treatments were planting date in three l...

in order to investigate lentil response to application times and amounts of zinc, an experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications on farm research of gonbad higher education center during 2008-2009. treatments were application times (before flowering and beginning of pod setting) and application rates (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 liter per hecta...

Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana L.) is a popular herbage crop in Nepal. Although farmers produce teosinte seeds, management for maximizing seed yield unknown. A study was undertaken to investigate order explore the production potential of yield. There were four different sowing dates (30 March, 30 April, May and June), rates (20, 40, 60 80 kgha?1) three cuttings (nil, once at 45 days after (DAS), ...
