Inadequate rainfall is a significant problem hindering the production of most crops in dryland regions. The current study was carried out to assess effect selected soil-water conserving interventions on soil moisture, growth, yield, quality, and profitability yellow passion fruit. experiment laid randomized complete block design (RCBD) at Kenyatta University (Kiambu County) Ugweri (Embu County)...

Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to determine the influence of transplant age on growth and yield of ‘Dixie’ and ‘Senator’ summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.). Dry weight and leaf area measurements indicated that 28to 35-day-old greenhouse-grown transplants grew more slowly after transplanting than plants that were 10,14, or 21 days old. Older transplants flowered earlier; however,...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Seagrasses are important marine plants that are under threat globally. Restoration by transplanting vegetative fragments or seedlings into areas where seagrasses have been lost is possible, but long-term trial data are limited. The goal of this study is to use available short-term data to predict long-term outcomes of transplanting seagrass. METHODS A functional-structural...

Rice receives a large amount of water during land preparation and the growing period, causing poor crop water productivity and lower net benefits. In wheat, excessive tillage operations delay its sowing, resulting in low yields and net returns. Dry seeding of rice and zero tillage in wheat can be expected to reduce water inputs and tillage costs compared with the conventional system of rice-whe...

Background: In Mexico, where 50 % of the original Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) has been lost due to human activities, restoration these forests is essential.
 Questions and/or hypotheses: (1) L. styraciflua favors survival and growth Q. germana M. schiedeana species (2) Are there competitive effects between nurses beneficiary species? (3) Is magnitude positive/negative interspecifi...

In this paper, we present an approach to quickly develop supertags for a target language given supertags for another language (reference language), along with a sentence-aligned parallel corpus between reference language and target language pairs. Our method can be interpreted as composing the alignment relation with dependency relation of the reference sentence to obtain the dependency relatio...

because of importance of morphological characteristics, canopy temperature and their relationship with grain yield in rice varieties, an experiment was conducted based on split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in two years (2013-2014) at the college of agriculture, university of guilan. the experiment consisted of three transplanting times (5, 20 may and 5 june...
