Mechanical Damage to Chickpea Seeds as Affected by Npk Fertilization

Mechanical damage to green and red lentil seeds

In this research, the breakage susceptibility of two classes of lentil (green and red) was evaluated as affected by impact energy and seed moisture content. The experiments were conducted at impact energies of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 J, and moisture contents of 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20 and 25% (wet basis). Results showed that red lentil seeds had more breakage than green seeds and the difference in brea...

salinity tolerance of kentucky bluegrass as affected by nitrogen fertilization

in most semiarid and arid areas, fresh water shortage compels managers to use low quality water sources with high salinity to irrigate turf and landscape. recent research has noticed that management of nitrogen fertilization can alleviate salinity effects on plants. this greenhouse sand culture experiment was conducted in order to investigate morphological and physiological responses to salinit...

Variations in Fleshiness of Tomato Fruits as Affected by Fertilization.

The evaluation of quality in agricultural products affords many research problems. Primarily, there is the difficulty of defining quality factors and the worker does well to confine his efforts to those correlated with very concrete morphological or chemical differences which are easily measureable. The variations in quality which are noted by consumers may be caused by conditions existing duri...

Growth and chemical composition of three pistachio cultivars as affected by soil salinity and boron fertilization

Isoflavonoids, Flavonoids, Phenolic Acids Profiles and Antioxidant Activity of Soybean Seeds as Affected by Organic and Bioorganic Fertilization

Soybean intake is inversely correlated with risks of several chronic diseases in human. Phytochemicals and in particular phenolic acids, flavonoids and isoflavonoids compounds present in soybean seeds may be partially responsible for these health benefits through their antioxidants activity. In a pot experiment, soybean plants was grown in sandy media and irrigated with Hoagland solution as ino...
