this study was carried out in order to identify the effects of soil water depletion (swd) on monogerm sugar beet (cv. shirin) seed growth trend at different growth stages. an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications in ardebil agricultural research station. during 2002 and 2003 cropping seasons, nine treatments including control (irrigation aft...

Introduction: Climate change and urbanization have been shown to alter plant phenology. However, a mechanistic understanding of these changes in flowering phenology and associated pollinator communities is lacking. Thus, this study was designed to examine finer scale flowering phenological patterns and driving processes in an arid urban ecosystem. Specifically, we tested the effect of water ava...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD) with different levels vitamin (VD3) during rearing period (1–20 weeks) on laying hen performance, bone quality, and eggshell quality. total four hundred 1-day-old Lohman pullets were randomly allotted into a 2 × factorial design dietary VD3 (300 2800 IU/kg) 25-OHD (0 56 μg/kg). Each treatment had five replicates 20 he...

The present investigation was carried out to obtain information based on per se performances of parents and their combinations for genetic improvement in tomatoes. Ten promising genotypes were crossed a dial manner (excluding reciprocals). Half diallel set 45 F1’s tomato evaluated Randomized Complete Block Design (RBD) with three replications eighteen yield attributing traits during Rabi 2020-2...

Merino lambs born in September and October 1964 were weaned at 4, 6 and 11 weeks of age, at average liveweights of 9 kg, 12 kg, and 19 kg respectively, on to a pasture of phalaris and white clover. The lambs remaining with their mothers for 11 weeks showed the earliest onset of an appreciable worm infection which reached a peak in December about one month after weaning. Similar levels of infect...

Beta-glucan that is typically isolated from the fungi or yeast, by solvent extraction, a commonly used supplement. However, extraction of beta-glucan these sources destroys tertiary structure compound, and reduces immuno-stimulating efficacy denatured when compared to undenatured (UDBG1). The objective this study was investigate growth performance piglets, weaning, received diets containing (UD...

in order to determine of the proper sowing date of steckling (rootlet) and harvesting date of seed, an experiment was conducted in ardabil agricultural research station (alarough) in 2004- 05 growing season in split-plot in randomized complete block design arrangement with four replications. four different planting dates viz. 5th march, 20th march, 4th april and 19th april– were allocated to th...

My research on mango flowering began about five years ago. By that time, smudging, the traditional Philippine use of smoke to promote flowering, had given way to the more convenient and efficacious use of ethephon (a compound that generates ethylene in plants) and potassium nitrate sprays. Not only were mango trees in the Philippines stimulated to flower out of season with these treatments, but...
