Before selecting genotypes for nutritional quality characters (protein, oil and micronutrients content) and anti-nutritional factor (phytic acid), it is important to know how much selection is likely to affect yield. Using a diverse range of genotypes, relationships between quality traits with yield and yield attributes in pearl millet were investigated. The number of productive tillers, panicl...

in order to study the effect of supplementary irrigation and different plant densities on grain yield and yield components of chickpea cv hashem, an experiment was conducted as split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in sirvan, ilam during 2008-2009 cropping season. main plot included supplementary irrigation (check as non-irrigation, supplementary i...

A 3- years (2015, 2016 and 2017) field study was carried out at National Wheat Research Program, Bhirahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate the influence of crop residues and nitrogen levels on rice. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. Main plots were two crop residue levels (with crop residues of 30 cm wheat stubble and without crop residues) and sub plots c...

During the last decade much effort has been made on estimating the spatial variation of the grain quality in full-scale field trials exploring the potentials of real-time grain quality measuring systems. This has often been made by hand harvesting within a grid setup. However, when performing full-scale field trials it is preferable to collect the grain sample directly from the grain flow passi...

Rice grain yield and quality are two major foci of rice breeding. In this study, Chinese regional rice test data provide us the unique opportunity to analyze the relationship between yield and quality in rice, because China has an unusually wide range of rice cultivars. We analyzed the relationships between grain yield, yield components, and grain quality of 300 rice germplasms. Japonica was su...

Introduction: Mental and substance use disorders (MD) are highly prevalent and have a high social and economic cost. Objective: To describe the burden of disease attributable to mental and substance use disorders in Brazil and Federated Units in 1990 and 2015. Methods: Descriptive study of the burden of mental and substance use disorders, using age-standardized estimates from the Global Bur...

An experiment was conducted at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur, Nepal during July 2011 to September 2011 with an objectine to determine phenotypic variability of Nepalese finger millet landraces using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and principal component analysis. FValue of REML procedure of mixed model analysis revealed that highly significant variation wa...

A field experiment was conducted during 2001-2003 to evaluate the effect of water stress on the yield and yield components of four rice cultivars commonly grown in Mazandaran province, Iran. In northern Iran irrigated lowland rice usually experiences water deficit during the growing season include of land preparation time, planting, tillering stage, flowering and grain filing period. Recently d...
