due to limitation of conventional water resources, the use of unconventional water for agriculture is unavoidable. therefore, in order to investigate the effect of using different amounts of municipal wastewater on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of cotton in drip irrigation systems, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011 growing season at experimental farm of ...

The evolution of sex remains a hotly debated topic in evolutionary biology. In particular, studying the origins of the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual reproduction and gametogenesis (its fundamental component) in multicellular eukaryotes has been difficult due to the rapid divergence of many reproductive proteins, pleiotropy, and by the fact that only a very small number of reproductive ...

Cotton is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. More than half export Pakistan depends on cotton and cotton-based products. Morphological quantitative traits are important for estimation yield. In this regard, a study was conducted to evaluate morphological responses crop at experimental farm MNS-University Agricultural Multan during year 2019-2020. Four varieties with different time windows (ear...

The tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), has become known as a midto late-season pest in addition to an early-season pest in recent years with the addition of Bt cotton, completion of the Boll Weevil Eradication Program, and use of lepidopteran-specific insecticides. The expanded prominence of TPB requires continued applied research in the form of insecticide effic...

fits and costs. This shortcoming may be addressed The purpose of this study was to determine the by directly estimating Mississippi Delta producers' economic risk efficiency of implementing a boll benefits and costs of a BWE program. However, weevil (Anthonomus grandis [Boheman]) eradicaonly pest control costs prior to BWE program adoption (BWE) program in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum tion are av...

Abstract Background Cotton breeding programs mainly focus on improving cotton fibers, but less attention has been paid by breeders to cottonseed oil improvement. Breeding for content depended phenotypic information used select varieties with high seed content. The purpose of this study was evaluate some genotypes regarding their and other characters related fiber yield, in order acceptable leve...

The use of a composite defoliant in various norms Bukhara-8 cotton the Bukhara region is considered. Identified from 10 options that had positive impact on efficiency defoliation, productivity were - (Mg (ClO 3 ) 2liq . 4 l/ha + Fitovak 75 ml/ha Urea 6.5 Humin-1.5 kg/ha). weight bolls, 1st collection, gross yield higher with control, standards respectively heavier by: 0.7-0.9-0.8 g and 4.5-3.7-...
