The study was conducted over a period of six months from January to June 2004 to explore the effects of different seed treatments on germination and seedling growth attributes of a popular medicinal plant, Horitoki (Terminalia chebula Retz) in the nursery of Chittagong University, Bangladesh. Seeds were subjected to six pre-sowing treatments e.g. control (T ), depulped (T ), depulped and soaked...

to study the root allelopathic effects of cool season crops on germination and early growth of three crops (sorghum, corn, and soybean), an experiment was conducted in seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran. the experiment consisted of four cool season crops (wheat, barley, rye and pea) and control as the main plots, three spring-crops (corn, soy...

The study has been focused on effect of untreated distillery effluent (Devans Breweries Ltd., Jammu) on germination of gobi sarson (Brassica napus. L. var. Punjabi Special). Six treatments (E0.... E100) each having three replicates were made. E0 was taken as control in which tap water was used for irrigation of the plants. For E20, E40, E60, E80 and E100, different concentrations i.e. 20, 40, 6...

Mechanization and simplification are inevitable trends in agriculture production to decrease input demands and simultaneously improve resource use efficiency. Dry direct-seeded rice is a resource-saving cropping system and has been considered as a replacement for traditional transplanted rice. However, the poor establishment of dry direct-seeded early rice, primarily induced by chilling stress,...

this research was conducted to evaluate the role of drought stress and planting dates on seeds vigour and seedling growth of produced seeds. the experiment was performed in the research field and seed technology laboratory of the department of agronomy and plant breeding, college of aboureyhan in pakdasht in spring 2008. five canola cultivars including licord, opera, modena, elite, sarigol (in ...

Effect of salinity on pollen viability, germination and yield was investigated on 8 canola cvs. Dunkled, Canola-III, Oscar, Ganyou-5, Ganyou-2, Rainbow, Abasin-95 and Westar. Plants were irrigated with non saline, 0.2% (E.C 2.5 dS.m). 0.4% (E.C 4.5 dS.m) and 0.6% (6.5 dS.m) of sea salt concentrations. Plant growth on vegetative as well as reproductive phases was proportionately inhibited with r...

to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation on quantitative and qualitative yield of soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research farm, university of guilan, during 2009. main factors were included four irrigation levels based on potential moisture 30-35 (i1), 50-55 (i2), 70-75 (i3) c...

Paspalum virgatum L. is a grass weed common in pasture and has difficult control, mainly due to its similarity forage, found areas of degraded pastures the state Mato Grosso. The objective this work was evaluate seed germination seedling emergence razor-blade (P. L.) when exposed different sowing depths. Two independent experiments were carried out, one using straw from Brachiaria brizantha cv....
