The present investigation has been designed to prepare the organic fertilizer from fish waste and study efficacy of on growth yield plants Amaranthus dubius (amaranthus) Trigonella foenum- graecum (coriander). Fish wastes collected slaughter house converted into nutrient quality in terms protein, carbohydrate, nitrogen, phosphorous potassium contents were tested using standard procedures. For a...

salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the plant emergence and plant growth and establishment. the determination of salinity tolerance threshold is a useful criterion to choose soil and irrigation water for cultivation of halophytes. in order to determine salinity tolerance threshold in amaranthus retrofelexus, an experiment was performed in greenhouse ba...

Plot-scale field studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of steam for the control of cropland weeds in comparison with common herbicides. Weed densities, biomass, or emergence after treatment were measured. Steam (3,200 kg/ha, energy dosage equivalent to 890 kJ/m2, speed of 0.8 m/s) and glyphosate (560 g ai/ha) gave similar control (. 90%) of seedling common lambsquarters and seedling r...

Amaranthus species are of underutilized orphan crops grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions the world. Benin’s most appreciated cruentus L. «local» cultivar is susceptible to saline stress. This study aimed create genotypes agronomically, at least, as good useful for further tolerance breeding using mutation breeding. The morphological diversity among 19 gamma-irradiated A. mutant lines (co...

The influence of weed seed predation by invertebrates and vertebrates was examined in relation to distance from hedgerows in maize fields of southwestern Michigan. Experiments were conducted in spring and winter and included five common weed species, i.e., velvet-leaf (Abutilon theophrasti), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), common lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album), fall panicum (Pani...
