a two year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of municipal waste compost (c), composted cattle manure (m), and nitrogen (n) on growth and composition of weeds in a corn field in shiraz using a split-split plot design with 3 replicates. visual inspection of the plots showed that the manure treatments neither introduced new weed species nor increased weed density more than t...

Action spectra were measured for suppression of germination of Poa pratensis L. and Amaranthus arenicola I. M. Johnston seed under prolonged or continuous irradiation. The action maxima for both types of seeds are near 720 nm. The maxima are unchanged in position or magnitude in the presence of radiation in the region of 600 to 670 nm adequate to maintain phytochrome predominantly in the far-re...

Our objective was to compare some plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) properties of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as representatives of their two genera. Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato), Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), and Amaranthus sp. (African spinach) were inoculated with the bacterial cultures. At 60 days after planting, dry biomass for plants treated with B. subtili...

The formulation for obtained D-optimal mixture design ratio using Design-Expert. pasting properties flours were determined, while proximate composition, physical dimensions, mineral concen...

over Bengal and the North-Western Provinces. In the latter place it is somewhat scarce in the hot weather, as it dries up by exposure to the powerful rays of the sun, but even then it can be found out there in shady places. In Bengal it is constantly found every where. Cows and rabbits are very fond of the leaves. In milking cows some people believe that it increases the secretion of milk. In t...

Amaranthus tricolor Linn. (FamilyAmaranthaceae) popularly known as Joseph’s coat in English. The plant has been used as hepatoprotective and hypoglycemic in Indian system of traditional medicine. In present study the hydroalcoholic extract of leaves of Amaranthus tricolor L. (HAEAT) 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight was studied for anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities in various a...
