Drought stress is considered as the most important limiting factor for growing of crops such as maize. Under low irrigation conditions, proper nutrition of plants can improve the effects of drought stress. This experiment was carried out in order to investigate the effect of nutrition management along with application of zeolite on agronomic traits of two hybrids of maize under deficit irrigati...

This work was aimed at assessing whether in silage maize it is possible to replace precisionplanting with a volumetric seeding in the perspective of developing hybrid machines to strip tilland sow both high density crops like winter cereals and low density crops like maize. This inorder to reduce the number of machines in the farm, simplify logistics and reduce amortizationcosts. Two experiment...

Maize is among the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia. Rely-intercropping of mung bean between maize enable to get grain yield instead sole alone. Field experiment was conducted assess effects relay intercropping at different population density and row arrangements with components component crops, evaluate productivity economic value maize-mung Sankura Wereda Jejebicho research station 201...

In maize (Zea mays L., 2n = 2x = 20), map-based cloning and genome organization studies are often complicated because of the complexity of the genome. Maize chromosome addition lines of hexaploid cultivated oat (Avena sativa L., 2n = 6x = 42), where maize chromosomes can be individually manipulated, represent unique materials for maize genome analysis. Maize chromosome addition lines are partic...

in order to investigate effect of application of nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (n1: 100% chemical fertilizer, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, n3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...

This paper presents evidence for the occurrence of proteinaceous inhibitors isolated from Chick pea (Cicer arietinum), Kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), Maize seeds (Zea mays), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Millet (Pennisetum typhoides). These seeds inhibitors exhibited inhibitory activity against alpha amylase from red flour beetle, T. castaneum. Out of five tested seed samples Wheat, Maize an...

in order to obtain high yielded and tolerant to drought stress maize hybrid a breeding program was started in safiabad agricultural research center in the 1999 and a few s6 lines attained in 2005. then interactive components were created and evaluated in the preliminary and semi-finals experiment during two consecutive years. after preliminary studies, nine hybrids were selected which they were...

The current study evaluated the impact of intercropping Cowpea and Moong bean on Maize yield its constituent parts. Nine different treatments were used in experiment viz., (T1) sole Maize, (T2) Cowpea, (T3) bean, (T4) + (1:1), (T5) (1:2), (T6) (1:3), (T7) (T8) (1:2) and, (T9) (2:1) a randomized block design with three replications Kharif season. findings showed that intercropped plants had grea...

The leaf colonization strategies of two bacterial strains were investigated. The foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain B728a and the nonpathogen Pantoea agglomerans strain BRT98 were marked with a green fluorescent protein, and surface (epiphytic) and subsurface (endophytic) sites of bean and maize leaves in the laboratory and the field were monitored to see if populations of...
