A pot experiment was conducted in rabi season 2004-05 to study the effect of Kappaphycus alvarezii extract applied as a foliar spray at 0.25%, 0.50% and 1.0% on wheat. Compared to control the yield of grain increased by 80.44% when, the plants were sprayed with 1.0% K. alvarezii extract. The nutritional quality of grain such as carbohydrate, protein and minerals also improved under the influenc...

We evaluated the branching response of established containerized perennials to spray or drench applications of Augeo (OHP, Inc.) applied during active growth as compared to Configure (Fine Americas, Inc.). Crops tested included Gaillardia ‘Gallo Yellow,’ Echinacea ‘Sombrero Hot Pink,’ and Phlox paniculata ‘Laura.’ Treatments were applied about 2 weeks after plugs were planted in 3.4-liter conta...

a greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (n) on wild barley (hordeum spontaneum koch) interference with winter wheat (triticum aestivum var. pishtaz) by an additive series experiment. the experiment was conducted in a split plot design with 3 replications. wheat plant height losses were on average 30, 10, and 10% in a wild barley density of 16 plants per pot with ...

S. MANEVA, S., T. VATCHEV and E. MITEVA, 2013. Effect of lead excess in soil on the accumulation of P, K and Na in infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 972-980 Pot experiments were conducted in greenhouse of IPAZR, “N. Poushkarov”, Sofia, to study the effects of excess lead (Pb) in soils on the upta...

To evaluate the effect of fungal inoculants, a pot experiment was carried out on 30 days old transplanted seedlings of Gmelina arborea under nursery condition. Transplants were inoculated with seven day old liquid culture of Aspergillus ellipticus, Fusarium incarnatum, Aspergillus aculeatus, Aspergillus candidus, Penicillium species, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium species, Fusarium javanicum...

Contents of trans-zeatin riboside (ZR), dihydrozeatin riboside (DZR) and N6-(delta2-isopentenyl) adenosine (iPA) was quantified by an indirect ELISA using polyclonal antibodies, in the roots, xylem sap and leaves of pot grown sunflower plants subjected to water stress (RWC of leaves approximately 65 per cent). The delivery rates of all three cytokinins decreased significantly under stress. Cyto...

Thirty-one kinds of plants representing 12 families were tested for host suitability to Xiphinema bakeri. Sixteen supported a significant population increase but only members of the Rosaceae and Solanaceae were severely damaged. Eight of the 12 weed species tested were good hosts; Mouse-ear chickweed allowed the greatest population increase of all plants tested. Populations of X. bakeri decline...

BACKGROUND Accidental autoclaving of L-glutamine was found to facilitate the Agrobacterium infection of a non host plant like tea in an earlier study. In the present communication, we elucidate the structural changes in L-glutamine due to autoclaving and also confirm the role of heat transformed L-glutamine in Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation of host/non host plants. RESULTS When...

a paper-pot transplanter was designed, developed and evaluated in the field by transplanting sugar beet seedlings grown in paper pots. a ground-driven counter wheel equipped with an infra-red sensor measures the traveled distance and sends the corresponding signals to a micro-controller. a step motor controlled by the micro-controller turns the driving shaft of the paper-pot metering mechanism ...

An experiment was conducted during the year 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 at Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj (India), to study effects different treatments combination under hydroponics pot cultivation condition in climatic zones for better growth yield strawberry. The laid out Factorial randomized block design with three replication...
