Background: In rainfed agriculture, lentil is considered an important legume crop. But in conditions adequate soil moisture condition a major obstacle that leads to reduced germination per cent, slow down growth of the seedlings and finally reduction yield. Seed priming alternative which can improve percentage seedling establishment lentil. Methods: The present work, deals with (Lens culinaris ...

Seed germination performance is one of the most essential development stages in medicinal and aromatic plants that may be unfavourably affected by the phytochemicals released from other plants in the soil environment. The present research was conducted in the laboratory to study the allelopathic effect of Erythroxylum monogynum Roxb. to the germination and growth parameters of Solanum lycopersi...

in the recent years application of allelopathic effects in weeds managment have attracted the attention of many researchers. to study the effects of water extracts and various amount of plants powder of sinapis, achillea, salvia, artemisia and wanut leaf on seed germination and seedling growth of bean, two separate factorial experiments were carried out in completely randomized design, with 3 a...

in order to study the effects of different levels of drought stress and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the germination indices of seeds harvested from wheat (tritium aestivum l.) cv. sayonz in the field treated with different levels of nitrogen, in controlled conditions, a factorial layout based on completely randomized design with three replications, was conducted. treatments included...

Biocontrol agents isolated outside Africa have performed inconsistently under field conditions in Africa. The development of indigenous phytobeneficial microbial strains that suit local environments may help enhance competitiveness with in situ microorganisms and effectiveness at suppressing local pathogen strains. We isolated bacteria from the rhizosphere of maize growing in southwestern Niger...

Large quantities of oil and gas well brines are produced annually in Ohio. This paper presents chemical parameters measured for a Wayne County, Ohio, oil well brine and reports the effects of several incremental brine concentrations on the germination and seedling development of soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), soybeans (Glycine max), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), garden peas (Pi...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an important leguminous crop has a dwindling croparea everyday due to climate change, and the overall yield declined. In controlled conditionexperiment, four distinct levels of drought were applied ten different varieties chickpeas in petridish using polyethylene glycol (PEG) @ 0, 10, 20, 30%. As differentiating factors, germinationrate, plumule, radicle lengths u...

physiological effect of six levels of water stress (0, -0.1, -.03, -0.6, -0.9 and -1.2 mp) was studied on seed germination and plumule as well as radicule growth length in three species namely: agropyron elongatum, agropyron desertourm and secale montanum. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. a total of 100 seeds in four replications (petri dishes) were so...
