Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) belong to family solanaceae is one of the largest vegetable crop. A Field experiment was conducted at Mother Teresa College Agriculture study effects different seed extraction methods on quality parameters in Tomato. The taken make treatments (i.e,) T1-Manual Extraction, T2--HCl@10ml for 15mins, T3-HCl@10ml 30mins, T4--Fermentation 24hrs (1day), T5-Fermentation ...

Summary The quality and provenance of seed are exceptional importance for the production yield cultivated plants. There numerous tests determination vigour. accelerated ageing test is one most important that provide degree germination preservation longevity in storages. aim this study was to observe effect different methods – organic conventional on vigour maize (variety Rumenka), using test. M...

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of low power microwave radiation on germination and growth rate in seeds. In the present paper, the bioeffects of low power (non-thermal intensity) microwave modulated with 1 KHz square wave have been studied. Experiments were performed in X-band frequencies using klystron based microwave test bench. Microwave parameters like frequency, powe...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Root traits can be selected for crop improvement. Techniques such as soil excavations can be used to screen root traits in the field, but are limited to genotypes that are well-adapted to field conditions. The aim of this study was to compare a low-cost, high-throughput root phenotyping (HTP) technique in a controlled environment with field performance, using oilseed rape (O...

Effect of seed ageing on stand establishment, growth and yield of three soybean varieties was studied. Treatments consisted of three varieties viz. Shohag, Bangladesh soybean 4 and BARIsoybean-5 with four levels of seed ageing viz. 20, 12, 8 and 2 months aged seed. Seed germination and field emergence percentage decreased but electrical conductivity of seed leachate increased with increasing se...

Nano particles may be more useful in comparison to bulk materials because they can pass the cell membrane of crops because of their general size. Nano-silicon or SiO2 is one of the major and frequently used engineered oxide nano particles in deferent fields. Quick germination of cultivated seeds and good seedling establishment are key factors to lentil production under salinity stress soil acro...
