Five cotton cultivars were crossed in a complete diallel to study the inheritance of different polygenic traits. Genotypic differences were found to be significant (P<0.01) for all the characters. Adequacy tests disclosed that data of all the parameters were fully adequate for genetic analysis except bolls per plant, staple length, fibre strength, and fibre fineness, which was partially or not ...

Because vanadium (V) is easily reduced to a cationic form within plant cells, data from resin-extraction of soil were analysed for evidence 5 of interactions between V and the resin-extractable concentrations of magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) on soybean seed yield. Three varieties, 9091, 9061 and 704, were grown over a 3-year period in a corn± soybean±wheat rotation. Surface soil samples (0±15...

The present study were carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, NDUAT, Faizabad during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 entitled “standardization of biofortification and hydropriming for enhance seed yield and its quality parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.)” The objective of the study was assessing the comparative performance of yield and qual...

To accomplish the rapid start-up and stable operation of biogas digesters, an efficient inoculum is required. To obtain such an inoculum for food waste anaerobic digestion, we domesticated dairy manure anaerobic digestion residue by adding food waste every day. After 36 days, the pH and biogas yield stabilized signifying the completion of domestication. During domestication, the microbial commu...

Considering the crucial focus on plant developments as high yielding, protein, and disease-resistant varieties, in this study, the genetic diversity and nutritional traits of available kidney bean germplasms found in Bangladesh have been evaluated based on seventeen quantitative and six nutritional traits. Analysis of genotypic, phenotypic variance and covariance showed that higher environmenta...

grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.) has a high potential for forage production inboth rangelands and cultivated rainfed areas of iran. it is well adapted to semi-arid areas ofwest and north of country where annual rainfall is 250–350 mm. to study the seed and drymatter (dm) yield and agronomic traits, six genotypes of lathyrus sativus l. and twogenotypes of lathyrus inconspicuous l. were provided b...

The correlations among seed yield components, and their direct and indirect effects on the seed yield (Z) of Russina wildrye (Psathyrostachys juncea Nevski) were investigated. The seed yield components: fertile tillers m(-2) (Y(1)), spikelets per fertile tillers (Y(2)), florets per spikelet(-) (Y(3)), seed numbers per spikelet (Y(4)) and seed weight (Y(5)) were counted and the Z were determined...

in order to select the suitable lines of red bean for chahharmahal & bakhtiari province, this experiment was conducted in lordegan & boldaji regions at 2001-2005. at the first year, single plants of local red bean (from lordegan, ardal, boldaji, dastgerd emamzadeh and gandoman regions) were selected at research farm for phenotypic characters, yield and yield components. at the second year, sele...
