Pigment-protein complexes separated from wheat (Triticum aestivum L. selection ND96-25 by two gel electrophoresis techniques were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for chlorophylls and carotenoids. The two techniques are compared, and pigment analyses are given for the major reaction centers and light-harvesting complexes. Reaction centers contain mostly chlorophyll a, carotene...

abstract rainwater harvesting (rwh) is one of the most effective water resources management techniques for confrontation with water shortage condition. rwh which is basically known as a traditional method, has been developed rapidly and being used widely in dryland countries throughout the world. rwh is defined as collecting and storing rainwater from nearby catchment and delivering it to plant...

One of the problems optical remote sensing crop above-ground biomass (AGB) is that vegetation indices (VIs) often saturate from middle to late growth stages. This study focuses on combining VIs acquired by a consumer-grade multiple-spectral UAV and machine learning regression techniques (i) determine optimal time window for AGB estimation winter wheat (ii) combination multi-spectral algorithms....

Grain harvest has to be done in a timely manner, in order to harvest the whole farm within the available suitable weather days for the operation. This short period combined with an increasing farm size, has lead farmers to buy more expensive combines with higher theoretical harvest capacity. A bigger combine does not automatically imply higher capacity. The grain harvesting process involves the...

in order to investigate the effective factors on the reduction of rain-fed wheat yield, an experiment in 45 fields was conducted in the township of bandar-gaz in 2012. in this research, all information such as crop management operations, seedbed preparation, cultivar, site preparation, seed sowing, weed combating, planting and harvesting issues, time of toxicant spraying, used seed rate were co...

in order to investigate the possibility of planting grass pea and common vetch crops after harvesting wheat and to evaluate the effects of  green manure of these crops on yield of potato-wheat in croprotation cycle, this research was carried out using a randomized complete block design with four replications during 2006-2010 at khair-abad research station, zanjan, iran. the treatments were eith...

introduction: a mixture of wheat flour, water, salt, yeast and other optional ingredients such as preservatives, enzymes, whey powder, surfactants, sugar, fibres and improvers form bread dough. enrichment of dough and bakery products by dietary fibres such as wheat bran and resistant starch, beta-glucans and inulin has been reported (peressini, & sensidoni, 2009; hager, ryan, schwab, gänzle, o’...
