The production of rice and straw are directly proportional to each other becomes a major problem in disposal straw. Though there many suitable methods the reduction few bane environment. Thus this study focuses only on sustainable ecofriendly manner disposal. Insitu decomposition stubbles using TNAU biomineralizer is experimental which was carried out randomised block design with six Treatment ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Facial hair strongly influences people's judgments of men's socio-sexual attributes. However, the nature of these judgments is often contradictory. The levels of intermediate facial hair growth presented to raters and the stage of female raters' menstrual cycles might have influenced past findings. We quantified men's and women's judgments of attractiveness, health, mascul...

Many farmers in the steeply sloped Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho practice no-till (NT) farming. Soil quality and water intake parameters were assessed in standing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) stubble along summit, side, and toe-slope positions in a 2-yr study at three paired-farm sites using traditional tillage (TT) vs. NT management. Paired sites had similar south-fac...

Producers of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) hay in the Mid-Atlantic US have experienced a reduction in regrowth vigor and a decline in the persistence of their swards. The common management practice for the region is to harvest the first growth of hay by cutting at 2.5-7.5 cm height in May or June. We hypothesize that high temperature and low cutting height interact to limit the regrowth ...

Despite a shortage of animal feed in Iran, cereal stubble is often underutilized due to agro-economic reasons. On the other hand, lambs fed with a conventional fattening ration deposit a considerable amount of fat; therefore, this experiment was conducted aimed at better utilization of cereal stubble and reducing the fat content of lamb carcasses. Fat-tailed Mehraban and Ghezel ram lambs were p...

Field, greenhouse, and laboratory experiments were conducted at the Montana State University Southern Agricultural Research Center, Huntley, MT, USA, in 2012 and 2013, to evaluate the effectiveness of various postharvest-appliedherbicideson late-season control, fecundity, seed viability, andprogenyfitnessofKochia scoparia (kochia) in wheat stubble. Paraquat þ atrazine, paraquat þ linuron, and p...

In subtropical regions, we have an incomplete understanding of how long-term tillage, stubble, and nitrogen (N) fertilizer management affects soil biological functioning. We examined a site managed for 50 years using varying tillage (conventional till (CT) no-till (NT)), stubble (stubble burning (SB) retention (SR)), N fertilization (0 (N0), 30 (N30), 90 (N90) kg ha?1 y?1) to assess their impac...

β-glucosidase is involved in the degradation of cellulose in soil and has the potential for monitoring biological soil quality. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue placement, burning, nitrogen fertilizer and tillage management on β-glucosidase enzyme after a period of 90 days. a field experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with ...
