Developing strategies to tackle water stress in lawns in arid climate regions is significantly important. In such conditions, using growing media amendments as well as native plants can relieve drought stress in different growing stages of the plants. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of some types of soil amendments on the emergence and early seedling establishment of ...

As per the estimates of World Health Organization (WHO) about 80% of world’s population depends on plant and plant products for their primary healthcare. Recently the demand for herbal drugs has increased many folds at the global level, as these herbal medicines do not have any side effects and its cost effectiveness. Huge quantities of solid waste is generated during the production of decoctio...

introduction to achieve the higher economic yield of crop plants, supplying enough nutrients to plants is very important. moreover, nutrient uptakes by plants is influenced by the soil water contents. however, nowadays chemical fertilizer application is important agronomic factor that has significant effects on growth and quantity and quality of final yield, but traditional nutrient management ...

intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

BACKGROUND: The use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizers is important for soil fertility and plants health production. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to examine the effects of different types and rates of vermicompost on physiological and morphological properties of lettuce. METHODS: Present study was conducted acco...

Micropropagation is an important technique for rapid and large-scale multiplication of selected plants. The type and concentration of plant growth regulators and physiological status of the explant have profound effect on the efficacy of plant regeneration. However, success of any micropropagation protocol depends upon the percentage survival and successful establishment of plants from in vitro...

Vigna unguiculata subsp sesquipedalis L. also known as string beans/pole sitao is one of the major vegetable crop produced in Philippines all year round because its adaptability to types soils except for saline soil. Thus, response soil amended with vermicompost was determined. Growth and yield pole applied varying amount obtained. Level nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium pH were tested before aft...
