Wheat is one of the most widely distributed crops worldwide and is of primary importance as food for human nutrition. Increasing the productivity of the new wheat varieties according to the specific climate of the region is a permanent major task. The impact of environment and some agronomy practices (previous crop and mineral fertilization) on the productivity and the structural elements of yi...

The aim of this research was to identify the vegetative and generative characters G16 rice mutants due gamma-ray irradiation. experiment conducted in Saribaye Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency. experimental design used an Augmented Design, using three comparison plants, namely line (parent), Inpago Unram 1 variety, IPB 3S variety. four mutant populations tested were doses 200, 300,...

Spring wheat cv. Minaret was grown under three carbon dioxide (C02) and two ozone (O3) concentrations from seedling emergence to maturity in open-top chambers. Under elevated CO2 concentrations, the green leaf area index of the main shoot was increased, largely due to an increase in green leaf area duration. Biomass increased linearly in response to increasing CO2 (ambient, 550 and 680 ppm). At...

An experiment was conducted at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur, Nepal during July 2011 to September 2011 with an objectine to determine phenotypic variability of Nepalese finger millet landraces using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and principal component analysis. FValue of REML procedure of mixed model analysis revealed that highly significant variation wa...

A field experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) to find out possible effects of alternate wetting and drying irrigation (AWDI) on the yield, water use and water use efficiency (WUE) of Boro rice. The experimental layout was furnitured using split-plot design (SPD) with two modern varieties (MV) of rice viz. BRRIdhan 28 and BRRIdhan 29, which received four irriga...

Early vigour is an important physiological trait to improve establishment, water-use efficiency, and grain yield for wheat. Phenotyping large numbers of lines is challenging due to the fast growth and development of wheat seedlings. Here we developed a new photo-based workflow to monitor dynamically the growth and development of the wheat canopy of two wheat lines with a contrasting early vigou...
