The present investigation for studying correlations and path analysis estimates grain yield contributing characters in maize was carried out at Maize Research Centre Seed Farm, Devihosur eleven characters. Days to 50 per cent tasseling significantly positively correlated with days silking negatively plant height, ear cob length, shelling percentage, hundred weight yield. significant percentage ...

rice husk is as an organic solid waste material that has high adsorbing capacity in removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, and can be very effective in treating industrial aqueous solutions that are important sources of water and soil pollution. in this study, the removal of zn(ii) and cr(vi) ions from aqueous solutions using rice husk was investigated. the investigated parameters include...

The aim of this study was to determine nature and extent of variability parameters and their utilization in barley breeding programme. A total of 45 F1s along with their parents and F2 populations were evaluated in a randomized block design with 3 replications during Rabi (winter season) 2014. The various traits measured were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf area...

Although human exposure to arsenic is thought to be caused mainly through arsenic-contaminated underground drinking water, the use of this water for irrigation enhances the possibility of arsenic uptake into crop plants. Rice is the staple food grain in Bangladesh. Arsenic content in straw, grain and husk of rice is especially important since paddy fields are extensively irrigated with undergro...

In the present work, total specific pore volume of inorganic polymers (geopolymers) made from seeded fly ash and rice husk bark ash has been predicted by fuzzy logic. Different specimens, made from a mixture of fly ash and rice husk bark ash in fine and coarse form together with alkali activator made of water glass and NaOH solution, were subjected to porosimetry tests at 7 and 28 days of curin...

The paper considers the possibilities of using vegetable raw materials - burdock root flour with addition psyllium and a gluten-free mixture in manufacture enriched bread, their influence on quality indicators obtained samples. To achieve this goal samples introduction various concentrations from containing seed husk, were studied. Flour was added amount 5-15% by weight directly replacement dur...

this research was conducted on polluted soil near the lead and zinc factory in zanjan province through which the effects of two organic and three mineral sources were examined on heavy metals fixation in randomized experiment design. experimental treatments includes bagasse and rice husk in three levels: 1.25, 2.5 and 5%, zeolite in three levels: 5%, 10% and 15%, phosphate rock in three rates: ...
