Functional-structural plant models (FSPM) simulate plant development and growth, usually accompanied with visualization of the plant 3D architecture. GreenLab is a generic and mechanistic FSPM: various botanical architectures can be produced by its organogenesis model, and the plant growth is governed by the competition on biomass among growing organs. A distinguished feature of GreenLab model ...

A field experiment was conducted at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand during kharif (rainy) 2018 to assess effect enriched biochar (EB) based fertilizers on crop growth, productivity nutrients use efficiency in direct seeded rice (DSR). Enriched i.e. biochar-1 (EB-1), biochar-2 (EB-2), Urea (UEB-1) biochar-1(UEB-2...

In this paper, we prove a general common fixed point theorem for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings of a metric space satisfying a weak Meir-Keeler type contractive condition by using a class of implicit relations. In particular, our result generalizes and improves a result of K. Jha, R.P. Pant, S.L. Singh, by removing the assumption of continuity, relaxing compatibility to weakly com...

The present investigation was planned to assess genetic diversity for yield, yield contributing traits and quality traits in three hundred indigenous germplasm of bread wheat. The germplasm along with 4 checks were evaluated in augmented design at the Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar during 2008-09. On the basis of dissimilarity coefficient, th...

This paper presents a common fixed point theorem for a family of R-weakly commuting mappings satisfying nonlinear type contractive conditions. This result improves and unifies previous results due to O’Regan and Saadati [D. O’Regan, R. Saadati, Nonlinear contraction theorems in probabilistic spaces, Appl. Math. Comput. 195 (2008) 86–93]. Also, the following results will be probabilistic version...

In this paper, we propose a new scale factor in differential evolution for optimization of numerical data (low dimensional data) that is both seen in algebraic and exponential form in real world scenarios. With the present work we improve the optimization of DE with real world numerical data set of the Lahi crop production of Pantnagar farm, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, ...
