in this study, moisture dependent physical, mechanical and nutritional properties of sesame seed were evaluated. in the moisture range of 4.54–19.27% (d.b.), seed length, width, thickness, arithmetic mean diameter and geometric mean diameter increased linearly from 2.93 to 3.01 mm, 1.74 to 1.78 mm, 0.78 to 0.86 mm, 1.81 to 1.88 mm and 1.58 to 1.66 mm respectively with increase in moisture conte...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important source of protein, starch, and mineral nutrients in many parts the world. However, impact environment cultivar on enrichment these not well understood. Four lentil cultivars (‘Avondale’, ‘CDC Richlea’, Maxim’, Imvincible’) varying color, seed size, maturity were evaluated at five Montana locations with diverse climatic soil conditions over 3 yr. Si...

A field experiment was carried out during Rabi season of 2021-22 at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College Agriculture, and Anand Agricultural University, (Gujarat) to study the effect sulphur iron on growth, yield quality chickpea. The using twelve treatment combinations consisted four levels (0, 10, 20 30 kg/ha) three 5 10 which were tested under randomized block design (factorial). Results revealed th...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...

The cause of poor seed quality (germination) of soybean produced in the Early Soybean Production System in the midsouth USA is still not completely understood. Temperature, solar radiation, and soybean genotype may all be important factors involved. The objective of this research was to evaluate seed composition, mineral level, and nitrogen assimilation in high and low germinability soybean pla...

The relationship between asparagine metabolism and protein concentration was investigated in soybean seed. Phenotyping of a population of recombinant inbred lines adapted to Illinois confirmed a positive correlation between free asparagine levels in developing seeds and protein concentration at maturity. Analysis of a second population of recombinant inbred lines adapted to Ontario associated t...
