Abstract—In this paper, effect of marginal quality groundwater on yield of cotton crop and soil salinity was studied. In this connection, three irrigation treatments each with four replications were applied. These treatments were i) use of canal water (T1), ii) use of marginal quality groundwater from tubewell (T2), and iii) conjunctive use by mixing with the ratio of 1:1 of canal water and mar...

Candida boidinii NRRL Y-17213 produced more xylitol thanC. magnolia (NRRL Y-4226 and NRRL Y-7621),Debaryomyces hansenii (C-98 M-21, C-56 M-9 and NRRL Y-7425), orPichia (Hansenula) anomala (NRRL Y-366). WithC. boidinii, highest xylitol productivity was at pH 7 but highest yield was at pH 8, using 5 g urea and 5 g Casamino acids/I. Decreasing the aeration rate decreased xylose consumption and cel...

Critical period of weed control is the foundation of integrated weed management and, hence, can be considered the first step to design weed control strategy. To determine critical period of weed control of aerobic rice, field trials were conducted during 2010/2011 at Universiti Putra Malaysia. A quantitative series of treatments comprising two components, (a) increasing duration of weed interfe...

Spring barley varieties Tolar and Marthe were grown under the standard conditions stress with a combined effect of high temperature drought in three experiments conducted greenhouse phytotron type. The results showed that growing led to reduced yield, grain quality malt quality. This was observed both individual years on average for entire study period. Average yield declined by ca 53% retentio...

Furfural produced during lignocellulose pretreatment to reduce the recalcitrance inhibits growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and reduces ethanol yield. To adverse effect furfural on S. cerevisiae, exogenous ergosterol was supplemented impact under stress studied. The lag phage shortened by 50%, maximum yield increased 158% with 50 mg/L supplementation 4 g/L stress. Flow cytometry analysis resul...
