application of organic fertilizers increases quality and yields in the sustainable crop production and considerably replaces or reduces chemical fertilizers. in order to study the effects of different manure and vermicompost rates on yield and essential oil contents of dragonhead, an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications in ...

The decay pattern of aftershocks in the so-called 'coherent-noise' models [M. E.] is studied in detail. Analytical and numerical results show that the probability to find a large event at time t after an initial major event decreases as t −τ for small t, with the exponent τ ranging from 0 to values well above 1. This is in contrast to Sneppen und Newman, who stated that the exponent is about 1,...

maize hybrid ksc 703 (k47/3 x mo17) produced grain yield 12.034 t/ha over seven locations in 2010, compared to ksc 704 with 12.034 t/ha, as check. during two years evealuation ( 2011-2012) over 12 locations, this hybrid revealed grain yield 11.291 t/ha, comparing to ksc 704 with 9.506 t/ha, showing 1.785 t/ha (18.8%) yield increase. on farm experimants carried out in islam abad, ravansar, mahta...

maize hybrid ksc 706 (k3547/4 × mo17) produced grain yield 11.713 t ha-1, when evaluated in eight locations over two years (2007-8), comparing to ksc 704 with 9.845 t/ha. on farm experiments in 2012, in kermanshah province in two locations, this hybrid produced 13.100 and 13.300 t ha-1 in eslam abad and ravansar as first cropping, respectively, comparing to ksc 704, with 11.300 and 9.700 t ha-1...

Forest ecosystems are among the largest terrestrial carbon reservoirs on our planet earth thus playing a vital role in global carbon cycle. Presently, remote sensing techniques provide proper estimates of forest biomass and quantify carbon stocks. The present study has explored Landsat-8 sensor product and evaluated its application in biomass mapping and estimation. The specific objectives were...
