Sweet grain sorghum is an under-exploited crop mainly grown around dwelling houses. Its production faces harsh environmental conditions. This study aims to assess sowing date effect on morpho-agronomical traits of sweet sorghum. Thus, 30 genotypes were assessed under 2 planting dates (June 26 and July 20) 24 days apart in a Randomized Complete Block Designs with 3 replications using 10 traits. ...

Differential protection of plants by Enterobacter cloacae was studied by investigating early sensing and response behavior of Pythium ultimum sporangia toward seeds in the presence or absence of E. cloacae. Ten percent of P. ultimum sporangia were activated within the first 30 min of exposure to cucumber seeds. In contrast, 44% of the sporangia were activated as early as 15 min after exposure t...

NEDKOV, N., 2007. Research on the Effect of Pre-sowing Treatment on Seed Germination of Hypericum perforatum L. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 31-37 Trials were carried out for improvement of seed germination of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) based on studies of main sowing properties after treatments as follows: soaking, soaking and heating and combined seed stratification. Recommendatio...

On the territory of France fenugreek is spread since long on a line from the Gironde to the Italian border. In Belarus experimental cultivation has begun since 2004. Experiments with fenugreek variety Ovari 4 were conducted about time of sowing in order to study their growth, development, and evaluation of productivity in the North-east part of Belarus and Central part of France. Reaching full ...

Information on rice crop phenology is important for crop management. This study aimed to detect rice crop phenology in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta using time-series MODIS data in 2007. Data processing steps included: (1) constructing time-series MODIS NDVI data, (2) filtering noise from the time-series data using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform, (3) detecting rice crop ...

For ex vitro propagation, seeds of P.pubescens were treated with different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) and germination of seeds was tested both in plastic pots as well as by direct sowing in the nursery beds. Maximum seed germination was achieved when treated with 200 mgL(-1) (w/v) GA3. For in vitro propagation, an exposure of nodal explants from in vitro raised seedlings to 0.2 mg...

to study some physiological and morphological traits of sugar beet varieties in response to salinity stress, three multi-germ sugar beets (13030, 22393 and ic) were grown in the greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, shahid chamran university, in 2009. the experiment was carried out under three levels of salinity in from of sodium chloride source, that included control (zero), 100 and 200 mm uses ...
