introduction during the last decades interest in organic production of seed specially for medicinal plants take into consideration because of higher quality of organic products (hermes, 2010). seed germination is one of the principal stages in the plant life cycle and seeds with higher quality and vigour resulted in more pronounced seedlings growth and development. therefore, investigation of a...

Successful agriculture depends on high-quality seed, which is a fundamental and important ingredient. Under unfavourable environmental conditions like drought, pre-sowing seed treatment such as coating priming could boost the germination seedling vigour. The agents often include plant growth regulators, micro-fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides. present investigation was carried out to assess...

this research was conducted to evaluate the role of drought stress and planting dates on seeds vigour and seedling growth of produced seeds. the experiment was performed in the research field and seed technology laboratory of the department of agronomy and plant breeding, college of aboureyhan in pakdasht in spring 2008. five canola cultivars including licord, opera, modena, elite, sarigol (in ...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

Poor seed germination is a major issue in teak (Tectona grandis) propagation. Teak dormancy thought to be the reason for delayed germination. So far, specific mechanisms have not yet been identified. In order study influence of presowing treatments on germination, seedling vigour, and biochemical attributes fresh drupes collected from production area Top Slip Tamil Nadu. The were subjected diff...

Lamb mortality remains a significant welfare and economic issue for sheep production. Lamb survival is to a degree dependent upon an easy delivery and the expression of appropriate behaviours from both mother and offspring, such as rapid standing, udder seeking and sucking by the lamb. Genetic solutions have the potential to improve birth assistance and lamb behaviour but large amounts of data ...

We present a complete framework for vigour mapping in row crops by multispectral remote sensing. The main contribution consists in taking into account vegetation abundance in the computation of vigour indexes. Though developed in a viticulture context, the proposed algorithm is generic enough to be adapted to any row crop, especially in horticulture. It takes advantage of both spectral and spat...
