This study provides food security situation in India for the next two decades. As expected, total physical land will remain more or less flat in the next two decade. But net cropped area is projected to increase through higher cropping intensity. More than 70 percent of additional area is likely to switch to horticultural and permanent crops. Among crops, oilseeds such as soybeans, rapeseed, an...

in order to study effects of competitive weeds (sinapis arvensis, hordeum spp., secale montanum and agrostemma githago) on morphological traits, yield and harvest index of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university of tabriz, during 2007-2008. experimental factors were weeds controlling times included weeding in rosette (5-7 lea...

Basil (Ocimum L.) species are used as medicinal plants due to their essential oils exhibiting specific biological activity. The present work demonstrated that both the variety and season/conditions of cultivation had a significant effect on (i) the produced amount (extraction yield), (ii) qualitative, as well as (iii) quantitative profile of basil essential oil. Among studied basil varieties, a...

In this study, five cultivars (Ceres, Zorro, Falcon, Express, and Samourai) of winter rapeseed were classified by using the common vector approach (CVA). For this purpose, seven yield characters (plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of pods on main stem, number of seeds per pod, pod length and thousand seed weight) of each cultivar were used. The seven an...
