abstract due to limited water resources in agriculture, application of each strategy to economize water use and increase area under cultivation is very important. one such strategy is deficit irrigation. for optimal planning of deficit irrigation, it is necessary to determine different sensitive stages of plant water shortages. in this study the effect of deficit irrigation on growth and yield ...

This experiment was conducted at Debre Zeit and Akaki during 2004-2005 cropping season on F2-derived F4 bulk families of three crosses, viz, DZ-01-974 x DZ-01-2786, DZ-01-974 x DZ-Cr-37 and Alba x Kaye Murri. To estimate the correlations and path coefficients between yield and yield components, 63 F4 families were taken randomly from each of the three crosses. The 189 F4 families, five parents ...

study on relationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiencyof a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study,interrelationships between yield and its components in cantaloupe were investigatedusing sequential path coefficient analysis. to determine important components of yieldin cantaloupe, 49 genotypes generated from 7 × 7 diallel, were evaluated...

The flow of blood in narrow arteries with bell-shaped mild stenosis is investigated that treats blood as non-Newtonian fluid by using the K-L model. When skin friction and resistance of blood flow are normalized with respect to non-Newtonian blood in normal artery, the results present the effect of stenosis length. When skin friction and resistance of blood flow are normalized with respect to N...

Neutron time of flight (nTOF) detectors are used routinely to measure the absolute DD neutron yield at OMEGA. To check the DD yield calibration of these detectors, originally calibrated using indium activation systems, which in turn were cross-calibrated to NOVA nTOF detectors in the early 1990s, a direct in situ calibration method using CR-39 range filter proton detectors has been successfully...

Biomass yield of agronomic crops is influenced by a number of factors, including crop species, soil type, applied nutrients, water availability, and plant population. This article is focused on dependence of biomass yield (Mg ha(-1) and g plant(-1)) on plant population (plants m(-2)). Analysis includes data from the literature for three independent studies with the warm-season annual corn (Zea ...

The study was conducted on 50 landrace populations of grass pea at Adet Research Center, Ethiopia, using Randomised Complete Block Design in three replications to determine morphological variability and character associations. Evaluations were made on plant and yield characters from eight plants tagged randomly from each plot. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), heritabilit...

In this paper yield of nimbin extraction from neem seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide with methanol as co-solvent has been studied. In this case mass transfer coefficient in terms of Sherwood number has been estimated by a neuro-fuzzy network. Then the estimated mass transfer coefficient has been fed to the system model which is set of partial differential equations. The proposed gray box...
