Conventional seedbed preparation is based on deep ploughing followed by lighter and finer secondary tillage of the superficial layer, normally performed machines powered tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO), which prepares in a single pass. Conservation methods are wide range interventions, such as minimum or no-tillage, means with passive action working tools require two more passes The aim this stu...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential solute translocation among stems wheat (Triticum aestivum), by application systemic herbicides clethodim and glyphosate. experiments were carried out in greenhouse conditions, using cultivars with contrasting for tillering, during winter 2017 2018 Southern Brazil. Clethodim applied on isolated stems, solutes from first three til...

Despite general effect of salicylic-acid (SA) in improving plant growth andproductivity in saline conditions, there have not been unanimity about the bestconcentration. In this 2-yr field study the effect of different SA concentrations(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mM) was examined on growth, grain yield and yieldcomponents of barley under two non-saline (2 dS m-1) and saline (12 dS m-1)conditions. ...

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an annual oil crop that accounts for approximately 1 % of the world's oilseed supplies. It produces seeds that are rich in the health-promoting ω-3 fatty acid, α-linolenic. In Kenya, linseed is grown in the Rift Valley and Western regions, places which often experience drought. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of water stress on growth of three l...

Characterization and Genetic Analysis of a Very High Tillering and Dwarf Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Mutant. (August 2008) Dhananjay Mani, B.Sc. (Hons)., Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Rodante E. Tabien Dr. Scott A. Finlayson This study focused on characterizing and determining the inheritance pattern of very high tillering and dwarf traits of a ...

Spring wheat cv. Minaret was grown under three carbon dioxide (C02) and two ozone (O3) concentrations from seedling emergence to maturity in open-top chambers. Under elevated CO2 concentrations, the green leaf area index of the main shoot was increased, largely due to an increase in green leaf area duration. Biomass increased linearly in response to increasing CO2 (ambient, 550 and 680 ppm). At...

An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during June to December 2012 with a view to finding out the effect of variety and nitrogen fertilizer application on the growth and yield of transplant Aman rice. The experiment comprised four varieties viz. BRRI dhan33, BRRI dhan34, BRRI dhan39 and BRRI dhan46, and four levels of nitr...
