A field experiment was conducted at Forage research under All India Coordinated Research Project on (Forage Crops & Utilization) situated College of veterinary science and Animal Husbandry, Kanke Ranchi (Jharkhand) to evaluate the effect cutting splitting nitrogen levels oat. Pooled three years data showed that, oat variety RO-19 recorded more plant height (104.58 cm), GFY (461.12 q ha-1), DFY ...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to evaluating the effect of corn/soybean intercrop in different planting dates, a study was carried out in agricultural sciences and natural resources, university of sari, faculty of agriculture during 2005-2006. the experiment was a split plot design based on randomized complete block design with four repli...

We report measurements and analysis of a boreal forest fire, integrating the effects of greenhouse gases, aerosols, black carbon deposition on snow and sea ice, and postfire changes in surface albedo. The net effect of all agents was to increase radiative forcing during the first year (34 +/- 31 Watts per square meter of burned area), but to decrease radiative forcing when averaged over an 80-y...

Urban air pollution and smoke from fires have been modeled to reduce cloud formation by absorbing sunlight, thereby cooling the surface and heating the atmosphere. Satellite data over the Amazon region during the biomass burning season showed that scattered cumulus cloud cover was reduced from 38%in clean conditions to 0%for heavy smoke (optical depth of 1.3). This response to the smoke radiati...

Sleeve and large field cage experiments were conducted in Stoneville, MS, in 2010 and 2011 to assess adult rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), injury in rice. 'Cocodrie' and 'Wells' were infested at bloom, milk, and soft dough stages of panicle development. Twenty rice panicles were infested individually in the sleeve cage experiment as replicates with 0, 1, or 2 O. pugnax in a split-plot, com...

introduction canary seed (phalaris canariensis l.) is a forage plant from poaceae family. this plant is drought tolerant. canary seed is originally a native to mediterranean region, which can be grown commercially in several parts of the word, especially in semi-arid conditions. increasing growth of population and lack of ability of pastures to satisfy the food requirement of animal has led to ...

water shortage is the most important factors on crop production in the world. several methods of deficit irrigation are solutions for reduction of irrigation water. to understand the effects of conventional deficit irrigation and partial root zone drying treatments on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of sunflower (farrokh cultivar), one study was carried out. the research was co...

common vetch ) vicia sativa .l) is belong to fabaceae family and due to adaptation and tolerance to environmental stresses are considered. in this research, morphological and agronomic characteristics of 89 genotypes of common vetch ) vicia sativa .l) were evaluated in an augmented design under irrigated and drought stress conditions in research field of university of tehran at karaj in 2011. r...

Naturalized populations of buffelgrass (Cencchrus ciliaris L.) grow wild in some range areas and around farms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, no attempt was made to study forage yield potential of these populations for use in range improvement or as a forage crop with low water requirement. This study was conducted to evaluate 24 seed sources collected from different places in the Riya...

The interaction between phytochrome photoequilibrium (phi) and photon flux in the photoregulation of anthocyanin production under prolonged irradiation was studied in seedlings of Brassica oleracea L. and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. In cabbage, anthocyanin production increases with decreasing phi, reaching a maximum at the lowest value (phi = 0.13) used in this study; in tomato, the extent of...
