An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2010 to January 2011 to study the effects of cowdung and potassium on growth and yield of Kohlrabi. The experiment consisted of three levels of cowdung (0, 20 and 40 t/ha) and four levels of potassium (0, 20, 50, 80 kg /ha). The experiment was laid out in ...

Background & Aim: This experiment investigated the effect of foliar application of methanol and ethanol on the biomass yield of medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea. Purple coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae family that is used in therapy of respiratory tract infection and bacterial otitis. Experimental: This experiment was conducted in randomized complete ...

to investigate the relationship between different traits, discover factors affecting this relationship and to identify components of seed yield in cultivated and wild safflower genotypes, this investigation was conducted at isfahan university of technology research farm under two different water regimes during 2008. significant differences were observed between genotypes belonged to the two spe...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fertilizers on the yield and essential oils of basil. this experiment was carried out in completely randomized block design with three replications in jiroft area. the treatments included three levels of barvar 2 (10, 20 and 25 g/ha), cow manure at three levels (5, 10 and 15 ton/ha), ammonium phosphate and superphosphate triple each at three le...

Allelopathic effects of juglone and walnut leaf extracts from Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) on yield, growth, chemical and plant nutrient element composition of the day-neutral strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa L.) cultivar Fern were investigated as part of an effort to identify tolerant species to plant adjacent to walnut. Strawberry plants were treated with juglone (5-hydroxy-1.4 naphthoqui...

Studies have demonstrated that plant extracts possess various biological characteristics, including immunomodulatory activity. Heracleum persicum Desf. (Apiaceae), a medicinal plant native to Iran, was studied for its immunomodulatory activity. Immunomodulatory activity of different doses of an aqueous extract of H. persicum, was evaluated in female Swiss albino mice. Mice were treated with thr...

The current experiment was conducted to check the efficacy of different nitrogen doses on the bionomics of maize stem borer Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyrlidae) under laboratory and field conditions applied on three maize hybrids i.e., KK-8711, KWS-55 and KS-85. The results revealed that the body weight (mg) and frass weight (mg) of larvae positively correlated with nitrogen levels. There wa...

the caster bean oil is high value in industry around of world. plant nutrition and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) are important for crop production. an experiment was set up to investigate the effect of nitrogen (n), sulfur (s) fertilizers and pgpr on seed yield production of ricinus commines l. this experiment was carry out in factorial layout based on complete randomize block des...

in order to investigate genetic diversity of two flax species, 50 genotypes were evaluated. the results showed that there was significant difference between two subspecies and also among different regions in subspecies for some seed yield components and us subspecies was superior than md for number of capsules/plant but md subspecies had more 1000 seed weight. genetic variation in each region w...
