Summary As plant breeding is a very complex and sophisticated process, it of paramount importance to understand the nature magnitude interdependence between specific features. Using PCA correlation analysis, this study examined variability in features two types inbred sunflower lines determined its connection with their seed yields. The experiment was conducted as randomized complete block desi...

The present investigation was carried out at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) during the rabi, 2017-18 with eighteen genotypes including three checks, in order to identify high yielding stable linseed agronomic situations viz., Utera (sowing of seed before harvesting standing paddy crop utilize moisture efficiently under rainfed agro-ecosystem), Rainfed, and Irrigated condi...

Vernonia galamensis Cass is a huge potential industrial crop with very high content of vernolic acid in the seed oil. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of inter- and intra- row spacing on the yield and yield related traits of Vernonia galamensis Cas.The experiment was conducted for two years during 2014-2015 on experimental field of Wondo Genet Agricultural research center,...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is one of the most important herbs and medicinal plants that allocate main part of medicinal plant export in Iran. This investigation was conducted to study the effects of drought stress on important agronomic traits of different cumin ecotypes from the major cumin cultivation of the country. Forty-nine ecotypes from different regions of Iran were planted in a simple ...

in a sustainable agriculture system, application of the fertilizers which are nature friendly and suitable for plants is essential. this becomes more important when dealing with medicinal plants. therefore, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was set up in the 2012-2013 on nigella sativa l. treatments were nano­fertilizer (pharmks®) (at 2 levels ...

Seed weight is a very important and complex trait in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). The seed weight of rapeseed shows great variation in its natural germplasm resources; however, the morphological, cytological and genetic causes of this variation have remained unclear. In the present study, nine highly pure inbred rapeseed lines with large seed weight variation and different genetic backgrounds ...
