The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Field, BARI, Gazipur during kharif-1 season of 2020 and 2021 to find out suitable combination maize dwarf yard long bean intercropping for higher productivity monetary advantage. Treatments included in the were: T1= Maize normal row (MNR) +1 (DYLB), T2= paired (MPR) + 2 rows DYLB, T3= MPR +3 T4= 4 T5= Sole (60 cm x 20 cm) T6= DYLB (40 25 c...

Lysophosphatidate (LPA) acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51) in the microsomes from palm endosperm (Syagrus cocoides Martius), maize scutellum (Zea mays L.), and rapeseed cotyledon (Brassica napus L.) of maturing seeds were studied for their specificities toward the acyl moiety of the substrates lysophosphatidate and acyl coenzyme A (CoA). The LPA acceptor greatly influenced the acyl CoA specificity o...

Galactose inhibited auxin-induced cell elongation of oat coleoptiles but not that of azuki bean stems. Galactose decreased the level of UDP-glucose in oat coleoptiles but not in azuki bean hypocotyls. Glucose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity (EC 2.7.7.9), in a crude extract from oat coleoptiles, was competitively inhibited by galactose-1-phosphate, but that enzyme from azuki bean was not....

Phosphorus (P) unavailability and lack of organic matter in calcareous soils semiarid climates are the major reasons for low crop productivity. This field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm The University Agriculture Peshawar, during summer 2015 to investigate impact plant residues (PR) (faba bean, garlic paper mulberry residues) phosphorous sources [(60 120kg ha-1) from single ...

Understanding the relationship between sink and source in maize is of prime importance in maize growing regions. In this study, a field experiment was carried out during spring and summer 2007 in the experimental field of the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, to examine the effects of source restriction (defoliation) on sink size (yield and its components) of  SC704 maize hybrid.  A fa...

Cotyledons and hulls were prepared from twelve varieties of field beans (Vicia faba L.). Adult cockerels were tube-fed either beans, cotyledons or hull diets containing high or low levels of protein. Metabolizable energy coefficients and starch digestibility coefficients were determined for beans, cotyledons and hull diets. Lipid digestibility coefficients from hull diets were also determined. ...

Yield and nutrient acquisition advantages are frequently found in intercropping systems. However, there are few published reports on soil fertility in intercropping relative to monocultures. A field experiment was therefore established in 2009 in Gansu province, northwest China. The treatments comprised maize/faba bean, maize/soybean, maize/chickpea and maize/turnip intercropping, and their cor...
