Effect of seed ageing on stand establishment, growth and yield of three soybean varieties was studied. Treatments consisted of three varieties viz. Shohag, Bangladesh soybean 4 and BARIsoybean-5 with four levels of seed ageing viz. 20, 12, 8 and 2 months aged seed. Seed germination and field emergence percentage decreased but electrical conductivity of seed leachate increased with increasing se...

Background: Salinity stress is one of the most severe problems in agriculture. Seed priming a technique that improves seed germination and growth under abiotic stress. The study was conducted to evaluate effects different agents on seedling Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) Variety GI-3 salinity Methods: experiment with completely randomized design. factors examined include four types priming, con...

The present study focused on the evaluation of priming with water and various botanical leaf extract followed by humid invigoration as a means to improve seed germination seedling vigour ribbed gourd (COH 1) bitter (CO 1). seeds these gourds were primed extracts at 2% concentration viz., Pongam (Pongamia pinnata L.), Neem (Azadira chtaindica), Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Curry (Murraya koenigii...

This study investigated the influence of stress appraisal and coping on work engagement levels (Absorption, Vigour, and Dedication) of police recruits. Participants were 387 men, ages 20 to 33 yr. (M = 24.1, SD = 2.4), in their last month of academy training before becoming police officers. Partially in support of predictions, work engagement was associated with Stressor control perceived, but ...

In viticulture, knowledge of vineyard vigour represents a useful tool for management. Over large areas, the grapevine vigour is mapped by remote sensing usually with vegetation indices like NDVI. To achieve good correlations between NDVI and other vine parameters the rows of a vineyard must be previously identified. This paper presents an unsupervised classification method for the identificatio...

Competition at elite level can require athletes to perform optimally in extreme environmental conditions. This review focuses on mood responses in such conditions and proposes practical guidelines for those working with athletes. Different environments are considered, including altitude and extreme heat and cold. Performing in extreme heat, cold or at altitude can produce a stress response char...

The germination stage, which is known to be the most sensitive period of plant development, very salt stress. To determine how stress affected behaviour Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe, seeds were germinated at gradually increasing concentrations. detrimental effect increased parallelly concentration. morphological and physiological changes analysed in each application detect...

Spelt (Triticum spelta L.) has been increasingly attracting producers due to the biological properties and chemical composition of its seeds. As high-quality seeds are necessary for successful production, vigour organically conventionally produced spelt studied results presented in this paper. The variety Nirvana by both methods at Maize Research Institute ?Zemun Polje? 2015 were observed. Acco...
