Intercropping and biofertilizers application are the most important agricultural methods for moving towards minimizing risks of production increasing efficiency. Consequently, this experiment was conducted at one year in 2019. A factorial set treatments arranged within randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications to investigate effect different planting ratios safflower soybe...

conclusions alterations in consumption of whole grains, vegetables, and added sugars are associated with body weight change, suggesting that it could be helpful in weight control. results in men, weight loss was significantly predicted only by decreased intake of added sugars (or: 2.21, 95% ci: 1.06-4.63). in women, weight gain was significantly predicted by decreased intake of whole grains (or...

Wheat, rice, and corn are the most widely eaten whole grains, followed by oats, rye, and barley. A wheat kernel consists of 80–85% endosperm, 10–14% bran, and 2.5–3% germ (Figure 1). Whole grains contain a high amount of bioactive substances such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytochemicals such as betaine, choline, sulfur amino acids, and melatonin, which account for at...

An experiment comprising of 24 wheat genotypes was undertaken during 2011-12, at New Developmental Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, to elucidate information on the nature and magnitude of genetic variability, index of transmissibility and assessing the level of genetic improvement of the quantitative characters. The experimental material comprising 19 F3 populations along ...

Epidemiological studies find that whole-grain intake is protective against cancer, CVD, diabetes, and obesity. Despite recommendations to consume three servings of whole grains daily, usual intake in Western countries is only about one serving/d. Whole grains are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals with known health benefits. Whole grains have high concentrations of dietary fibre, resistant st...

A pot experiment was conducted in the rabi (post rainy) seasons of 2001 and 2002 to study the genotypic differences in grain growth rate and endogenous hormonal content in the developing grains of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat. The endogenous hormonal contents of grains in both the ploidy levels had changed in sequence. At 5 days after anthesis (DAA), gibberellic acid (GA3); at 15 DAA (rapid g...

We study the behaviour of large dust grains in turbulent molecular clouds (MCs). In primarily neutral regions, dust grains move as aerodynamic particles, not necessarily with the gas. We therefore directly simulate, for the first time, the behaviour of aerodynamic grains in highly supersonic, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence typical of MCs. We show that, under these conditions, grains with sizes ...

In order to explore the possibility of enhancing wheat productivity with limited inputs, an experiment entitled “Effect of seed soaking in nitrogen, phosphorus and herbicides solutions on yield and other characteristics of wheat” was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar during winter2002-03. Seeds were soaked in pure water, 0.1% and 0.5% urea solut...
