Mungbean is the most important crop in arid Rajasthan. Improving productivity by improving soil fertility essential for farmers' economic viability. The effect of sulphur graded doses on yield attributes mungbean grown as (mungbean + sesame) intercropping was studied field. For these four levels, viz., 0, 15, 30, and 45 kg ha-1 five systems, sole sesame, sesame 2:1, 3:1, 4:1. Harvest index, MEY...

in order to study the effects of biofertilizers and different water volume per irrigation on vegetative characteristics and seed yield of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009. this experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replica...

In this study, the oil contents, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of sesame seed and oils belong to different countries were determined. The oil contents of materials changed between 49.22% (India) and 56.16% (Nigeria-Kanu). The major saturated fatty acids in sesame seed oils were palmitic (6.06-9.03%), stearic (5.29-6.42%) acids with small 20:0 (0.19-0.71%) acids. The main un...

Changes in the levels of thiamin-binding globulin and thiamin in wheat seeds during maturation and germination were studied. The thiamin-binding activity of the seed proteins increased with seed development after flowering. The thiamin content of the seeds also increased with development. Thiamin-binding activity decreased during seed germination. On the other hand, immunological analysis using...

in order to evaluate the effects of different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on yield and yield components of sesame, an experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in year 2009. treatments were: 1) nitragin (containing of azotobacter sp., azospirillum sp...
