Maintaining high-quality athletic field playing surfaces without the use of synthetic pesticides is challenging. Little research available regarding best overseeding strategies for non-irrigated, pesticide-free, cool-season fields. The objectives this study were to determine effects turfgrass species, cultivar, seeding rate, and seasons on color, dark green color index (DGCI), cover, weeds, ove...

The effect of water deficit on stem reserve mobilization and sink activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, viz., C306 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) was studied. Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean b...

Here, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of the Saccharum hybrid cultivar RB867515, the most planted sugarcane cultivar in Brazil.

Abstract Participatory plant breeding and rapid sensory evaluation are effective techniques for organic cultivar development. Table beet is an important crop growers, geosmin, a volatile compound which confers earthy aroma, has been suggested as the attribute around hedonic liking of organized. Open pollinated table populations with diverse pigmentation low (LGC) or high (HGC) geosmin concentra...

G grown in Kentucky are subject to environmental stresses that reduce crop yield and quality, and injure and kill grapevines. Damaging critical winter temperatures, late spring frosts, short growing seasons, and extreme summer temperatures all occur with regularity in regions of Kentucky. However, despite the challenging climate, certain species and cultivars of grapes are grown commercially in...

An investigation was carried out with nine green leafy vegetables (GLV’s) with their popular varieties most commonly grown in India to determine their biochemical composition. Among leafy vegetables ascorbic acid was found maximum in Chenopod cultivar Bathua Local (60.6 mg/100 g fw.) followed by Pusa Bathua -1 (23.0 mg/100g fw.) and spinach cultivar PS-1 (51 mg/100 g fw.). Significantly high le...

In this paper we develop a Bayesian analysis for the zero-inflated regression models based on the COM-Poisson distribution. Our approach is based on Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. We discuss model selection, as well as, develop case deletion influence diagnostics for the joint posterior distribution based on the ψ-divergence, which has several divergence measures as particular cases, such as...
