Six lines and five testers were crossed in line x tester fashion and the F1s were evaluated under coastal saline situation. The ratio between the estimates of additive and dominance variances indicated preponderance of nonadditive gene action for the characters namely, plant height, number of productive tillers, boot leaf length, panicle length, grain weight per primary panicle and grain yield ...

The present investigation was carried out to understand the interrelationship and degree of dependence grain yield on its components gall midge incidence elucidate their relative importance. experiment conducted using 42 rice hybrids developed by crossing 6 CMS lines seven testers in Line X Tester mating design, parents four checks. Observations were recorded incidence, fourteen component chara...

organic fertilizers such as vermicompost (vc) are an undeniable source of required nutrients of plants. this field experiment performed as split plot arrangement based a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008. the main factors (vermicompost treatments) added to soil at six levels including 20 and 40 ton.ha-1, 20 and 40 ton.ha-1 plus (1/2) chemical fertilizer, chemical ...

to identify qtls controlling grain yield and yield components, an f2 population consisting of 188 plants derived from the cross between two rice pure lines, binam and kadous, were grown in research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, rasht, iran, in 2008, and were recorded for 9 important traits related to grain yield. to construct linkage map, 85 marker of ssrs and...

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is cultivated around the world for human and animal consumption. There is no suitable herbicide available for weed control in foxtail millet fields during the post-emergence stage. In this study, we investigated the effect and safety of the post-emergence herbicide tribenuron-methyl (TBM) on foxtail millet in terms of grain yield and quality using a split-plo...

Grain-filling is a crucial process that determines final grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). To understand the genetic basis of dynamics of grain-filling, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was conducted using time-related phenotypic data on grain-filling collected from a population of 155 recombinant inbred lines (F12), derived from a cross between Milyang 23 and Akihikari. Two QTLs de...

An experiment was conducted with 36 accessions of traditional (local) Boro rice germplasm accessions of three different groups (20 accessions as Kaliboro, 12 as Jagliboro and 4 as Tepiboro) during Boro season 2004 at BRRI farm to identify the duplicates with the help of morph-agronomic characters. On the basis of D values, the 36 genotypes were grouped into six clusters with a range of intra (0...

a 7×7 complete diallel cross experiment was performed to study the genetic relationship of grain yield and some agronomic traits in rice. analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits. results of correlation analysis showed that rice grain yield was positively and significantly correlated with by (rp = 0.81, rg =0.55), hi (rp =0.35, rg =0.79), np (rp = 0.80,...
