We investigated age and size class structures of Scotch broom stands, and the effects of invasion on the native plant community, in the high-altitude grasslands of the Nilgiris, South India. Girth, height and age of broom stems were recorded. Native vegetation cover was assessed under broom and in the surrounding grasslands. Age was positively correlated with girth and height of broom. Middle-a...

Castor oil plant seeds (Ricinus communis L.) were grown in spent lubricating oil (SLO) contaminated soil at concentrations of 1-6% (w/w, oil/soil). Plant height and stem girth were depressed by spent lubricating oil at concentrations of 2% (w/w) and above. One percent (1%) spent lubricating oil in soil promoted growth of plants when compared with control. Fresh and dry weights of R. communis pl...

The research was aimed at analyzing the performance of winter potato under different nitrogen rates experimental fields College Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal. variety Kufri Sindhuri cultivated during seasons 2017-18 and 2018-19 three rates- 120 kgha-1 (N1), 100 (N2) 80 (N3) using drip irrigation. results indicated that plants fertilized with recorded maximum germination p...

The aim of investigation was to determine the effects of aspect (north and south) on some morphological [plant height (cm), number of stems per plant, main stem diameter (mm), number of leaves per main stem, petiole length (cm), leaflet length (cm), leaflet width (cm), leaf: stem ratio] and chemical [crude protein (%), crude cellulose (%), calcium (%), phosphorus (%), potassium (%) and magnesiu...

A pot experiment was carried out in 2019 the net house of Department Soil, Water and Environment, University Dhaka, to evaluate growth yield Jute plants (Corchorus capsularies L.) by applying different types organic manures. Eight manures viz. ACI, BGF-1, Mazim, Vermicompost, Shufola, GTS, Green Poultry were collected from local market. The set up following a completely randomized design (CRD) ...

Ocimum gratissimum is an essential plant because of its wide food and medicinal usage. Despite relevance, morpho-physiological compositions are influenced by several abiotic stresses. Hence, this study examined the effects water stress on growth chlorophyll contents O. gratissimum. Seedlings were grown in twenty-four pots, two per pot arranged using a complete randomized design with four groups...

kochia is a halophyte plant and is a good source of forage for livestock under saline irrigation. in order to investigate the salinity effect on morphological and forage characteristics of kochia, an experiment was conducted. three saline waters (5.2, 10.5 and 23.1 ds m-1) and three kochia ecotypes (birjand, borujerd and sabzevar) were allocated as main and sub plots, respectively, in a split p...

plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial randomized completely block design (rcbd) in 3 replications. different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). results showed th...

Heliconia is one of the important emerging exotic specialty cut flowers which gaining importance in Indian markets and used as a flower, floral decoration, beautifying gardens. We carried out field experiment at Horticultural Research Station, Pechiparai, Kanyakumari to evaluate performance pendent genotypes based on growth characteristics. The results revealed that among eight evaluated, H. ch...
