This study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing different levels (0, 0.5 and 1% of buffered rumen fluid) of methanolic extract of pomegranate peel, on rumen fermentation kinetics of four oil seed meals (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, rapeseed meal and sunflower seed meal), using in vitro gas production technique. The samples were incubated in syringes containing rumen liqu...

BACKGROUND: The active oxygen species, despite the damaging effects they have useful roles in the body are living things. OBJECTIVES: This research was done to determine whether Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) could mediate Cyanide and Methylviologen signal in seed dormancy alleviation and sunflower seed germination, more widely, to assess their putative ro...

the high quality and quantity seed production in old saxual shrubs are essential for regeneration and sustainable development of saxual forests in desert areas. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of different pruning height on saxual seed production. the study was carried out in an obviously wilted saxual forest located in ashkezar desert in yazd in 1994. the experiment wa...

Abstract Sulphur (S) is considered to improve the nutrient uptake of plants due its synergistic relationship with other nutrients. This could ultimately enhance seed yield oilseed crops. However, there limited quantitative information on uptake, distribution, and associated impacts sesame under S application. Thus, a two-year field study (2018 2019) was conducted assess different treatments (S ...

Frequent and intense defoliation of grasses has been associated with the evolution of “grazing morphotypes” that exhibit a variety of vegetative traits correlated with improved grazing resistance. While recovery from a seed bank is not considered an important grazing resistance mechanism, relatively little is actually known regarding seed (caryopsis) production in grazing morphotypes of caespit...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in 2014/15 cropping season at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center experimental site (at Wondo Genet station). Two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, WG-Hi...
