Peanut seeds are rich in arginine, an amino acid that has several positive effects on human health. Establishing the genetic variability of arginine content in peanut will be useful for breeding programs that have high arginine as one of their goals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of arginine content, pods/plant, seeds/pod, seed weight, and yield in Valencia peanut ge...

BACKGROUND: Humic acid is a natural polymeric composition which is produced as a result of decaying organic matters in soil, peat and lignin to increase crop product. OBJECTIVES: Assessment the effect of different irrigation regime and humic acid on red bean production and correlation coefficient between measured traits. METHODS: Cu...

This work was carried out at the Research Station of Seed Technology Center Agricultural Department / Ministry Science and during season 2020-2021 to investigate effect three nano fertilizers ( boron, iron, zinc) a rate 2 mg. l-1 on wide been varieties (Syrian, Spanish, Taqa). The experiment in randomized complete block design (R. C. B. D.) with replicates. results showed that Syrian variety ga...

Identifying key yield components can help establish better crop management strategies to increase crop yield. The present research was conducted in south-western Saskatchewan in 1999 and 2000 to determine the interrelationships among various yield components and their direct and indirect effects of each component on seed yield of field pea (Pisum sativum L.). The semi-leafless cultivar Carrera ...

Background: The present work was to evaluate biocomposted cocoa shell and jack fruit peel wastes their effect on the vegetative development yield parameters of Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis L. Var. NS-620 (Cowpea). Methods: experiments were conducted in Department Botany, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science Higher Education Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, during 2019.The consists ...

Because triiodobenzoic acid increases pod number, albeit variably, in soybean (Glycine max), we tested other auxin-transport inhibitors. Morphactins, especially methylchlorflurenol (MCF), were found to be very active (optimal concentration 10 micromolar) when sprayed onto the foliage. Applications at 1 week after the start of flowering were most effective, producing a 40% increase in pod number...

A pot experiment was conducted at a net house of the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, in the ‘rabi’ season of October, 2009 to March, 2010 to evaluate the effects of gibberellic acid (GA) on growth, physio-biochemical, yield and quality parameters of chickpea cultivar DCP 92-3. Surface sterilized seeds of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were soaked in four concentrations viz., 0,1...
