To help farmers in the mid hills of Nepal improve their crop management and rice yields, we conducted a study testing different nursery management options and their effect on grain yield and yield components under rainfed conditions. The experiment was conducted in a farmer’s field during the cropping season 2009 and 2010 at Sundarbazar, Lamjung, Nepal, using a 3-factor factorial RCB design wit...

An experiment was conducted with 36 accessions of traditional (local) Boro rice germplasm accessions of three different groups (20 accessions as Kaliboro, 12 as Jagliboro and 4 as Tepiboro) during Boro season 2004 at BRRI farm to identify the duplicates with the help of morph-agronomic characters. On the basis of D values, the 36 genotypes were grouped into six clusters with a range of intra (0...

Indonesia’s strategies are focus on improving food production using environmentally-friendly measures in its agricultural development. This research was designed accordance with the national increasing productivity of rice efficient water while reducing methane emissions from fields. A low yield is obtained when conventional anaerobic methods (flooded soil) used. Additional to water, sludge pal...

Sixty-nine cultivars of rice were examined for fourteen biometrical characteristics to study the degree genetic divergence, heritability and gain as a percentage mean, character relationship path coefficient analysis. Yield per plant reported highest estimate PCV GCV followed by total effective tillers plant, hundred seed weight, number filled seedsper panicle flag leaf length indicating that t...

This experiment was conducted to study the variability parameters of forty rice genotypes evaluate genetic i.e., Genotypic coefficient (GVC), Phenotypic (PVC), Heritability (H) and mean percent Genetic advance (MGA) for nine different yield yield-contributing traits at Agriculture Research Farm, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during Kharif-2018. The data were collected attributing subjected...

1 Vegetation mosaics of grassland and exposed soil are often the outcome of intense herbivory and represent alternate stable states, although the vegetational and soil processes that both initiate and maintain the states in response to herbivory are poorly understood. 2 The vegetation mosaic resulting from grubbing by geese was examined on the intertidal flats at La Pérouse Bay, Manitoba. Soil ...

Problem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate t...

The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), causes severe damage to barley, Hordeum vulgare L. (Poales: Poaceae), in the highlands of Ethiopia. Little information is available on the control of this pest in Ethiopia. An experiment aimed at evaluating the resistance of barley varieties from the USA to D. noxia populations and determining biotypic variation betwee...
