Salinity is an ever-increasing problem in agriculture worldwide, especially in South Asia (India, Pakistan) and Australia. Improved genotypes that are well adapted to saline conditions are needed to enhance and sustain production in these areas. A screening of 263 accessions of chickpea, including 211 accessions from ICRISAT’s mini-core collection (10% of the core collection and 1% of the entir...

The present exposition was designed to evaluate blood serum changes in tiger grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus in response to changes in water temperature and salinity. Uniformly sized fingerlings were randomly distributed into different groups at fifteen fish per tank, in two replicates. Each group represented experimental fishes subjected to water temperatures of 18, 24, 28 and 30°C (control...

junglerice, c4 plant and thermo-live of poaceae family, is one of the most serious grass weed in the tropics and subtropics. to determine methods for breaking dormancy, characterizing cardinal temperatures and investigating the effect of salinity and drought on junglerice seeds germination four separate experiments were conducted in the laboratory. results showed that the junglerice seed dorman...

Salinisation of freshwater has been identified as a serious environmental issue in Australia and around the world. Protective concentrations (trigger values) for salinity can be used to manage salinity impacts, though require locally relevant salinity tolerance information. 72-h acute salinity tolerance values were determined for 102 macroinvertebrates collected from 11 locations in four biolog...

The paper presents the research results of changes in age (for all ontogenetic groups) and sex structure, as well production cysts, two populations Artemia sp. living different contrasting environmental conditions (by area water body, its depth, salinity, nature bottom sediments, level anthropogenic load) hyperhaline bodies aquatic complex Lake Aktash. Data on dynamics size structure each or gr...

Seeds require adequate soil moisture prior to planting, and pre-sowing irrigation depth (PSID) represents the optimum seed level. This work proposes a new methodology obtain physical properties PSID, that includes application of electromagnetic profiling method (EMP) as fast non-invasive technique. Soil electrical resistivity measurements obtained from an EMP survey are combined with salinity i...

The sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula have a key role in benthic dynamics they are often used to assess the toxicity of environmental contaminants. aim this research was investigate influence salinity on copper P. A. embryos, evaluating impact future ocean variations estimating an optimum range for embryos. For purpose, urchin embryos were exposed different concentrations und...

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum addition calcium during adaptation period white shrimp seed in low salinity media, so physiological conditions still support maximally survival and growth. research carried out by using Completely Randomized Design, i.e., freshwater for decreasing water from 20 g L-1 0.5 as much 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 mg L-1, respectively. used reduction p...

Observations from 35 tropical moorings are used to characterize the diurnal cycle in salinity at 1 m depth. The amplitude of diurnal salinity anomalies is up to 0.01 psu and more typically 0.005 psu. Diurnal variations in precipitation and vertical entrainment appear to be the dominant drivers of diurnal salinity variability, with evaporation also contributing. Areas where these processes are s...
