Effects of silver nanoparticles on plant growth parameters such as Root length, fresh weight, Dry weight, Speed of germination and % Germination contents of economic important pulses, Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum); was probed in the present research. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. Five levels of silver nanoparticles (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 ...

to evaluate the effect of intercropping of sorghum and alfalfa on forage yield and on weed biomass production, different proportions of sorghum and alfalfa intercropping system comprised of 50% - 50%, 25% - 75% and 75%-25%, along with sole cultures of sorghum, and of alfalfa were arranged as split plots in time, while a complete plot design with three replications being used to analyze the data...

The inclusion of grain sorghum in diets for broiler chickens is quite common; however, under Australian conditions, the utilisation of starch/energy by birds offered sorghum-based diets appears inadequate. Various factors inherent in sorghum, including kafirin, phenolic compounds and phytate, may limit energy utilisation. The recent quantification of kafirin, the dominant protein fraction in so...

The objective of this study was to compare FirstAct with several tank mix partners for efficacy in herbicide-tolerant grain sorghum. (quizalofop) alone or mixtures controlled Johnsongrass 94% more. However, mixing any broadleaf herbicide generally antagonistic Palmer amaranth control. Minor sorghum injury 5% less by four weeks after postemergence treatment. Sorghum yields increased all treatmen...

Many of the most commonly used labor interventions come with risks to both mother and fetus. For that reason, some women use herbal methods promote labor. Previous research suggests fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum, may serve favor disease prevention. Fewer inquiries have targeted role fenugreek on uterine smooth muscle contractility its potential influence delivery. This investigation an o...

Cyanide assimilation by the beta-cyanoalanine pathway produces asparagine, aspartate and ammonium, allowing cyanide to serve as alternate or supplemental source of nitrogen. Experiments with wheat and sorghum examined the enrichment of (15)N from cyanide as a function of external cyanide concentration in the presence or absence of nitrate and/or ammonium. Cyanogenic nitrogen became enriched in ...

Background and objectives: Sedentary life style and high-fat diet are one of the key causes of coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of periodic exercise and consumption of fenugreek seed extract on the expression of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) genes in patients with coronary artery occlusion. Methods: The present ...

This research was conducted to investigate in situ degradation characteristics of maize, sorghum and sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids. whole plant of maize (TTM-815, DK-711), sorghum (SS-506, FS-5) and sorghum × Sudan grass hybrids (P-988, Grazer N2) were grown under semi-arid conditions and harvested at different maturity stages (mid-flowering (MF), milk-line (ML) and hard-dough (HD)) and ensiled. ...

a growth chamber study was carried out to evaluate the allelopahtic effects of shoot and root water extract of hoary cress (cardaria draba) on seed germination and seedling characteristic of sorghum (sorghum bicolor). the study was conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in research laboratory of faculty of agriculture, university of birjand in 2008. treatments we...
