The deficiency of micronutrients is one the main reason for low seed yield in oilseed crops many developing countries including Pakistan. Therefore, this two-year field study was conducted to assess influence foliage applied (individual/or combination) on and quality sunflower hybrids. For study, we hypothesized that application will improve achene yield, oil net returns results indicated hybri...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the association between low birth weight, head-to-abdominal circumference ratio, and insulin resistance in early life. METHOD AND RESULTS Glycated serum proteins (GSPs) were quantified at delivery in 612 Chinese mother/child pairs serving as a surrogate of maternal and fetal glycemia. Differential ultrasound examination of the fetal's body (head circumference, biparietal ...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of different ratios of cocopeat and vermicompost as a cultural media on seed emergence and some qualitative and quantitative characteristics of sweet pepper transplant (cv. colifornia wonder). the treatments include: vermicompost + cocopeat (3:1), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:3), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:1) (v/v) and normal soil of transplant. the tre...

The present study was conducted on five ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) cultivars (Komethry, Pakstany, Um-sulaem, Toffahy and Peyuan) grown in Saudi Arabia during 2005 and 2006 seasons. The aim of the present study was to investigate fruit properties (fruit weight, length, diameter, shape, specific gravity, seed weight, pulp percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity percentage, TSS/acid, v...

The paper investigates seed coat characteristics (as a percentage of overall seed diameter) in Lupinus angustifolius L., a potential forage crop. In the study ten L. angustifolius genotypes, including three Polish cultivars, two Australian cultivars, three mutants originated from cv. 'Emir', and one Belarusian and one Australian breeding line were evaluated. The highest seed coat percentage was...

The present investigation was conducted to study genetic parameters for sixteen characters viz., days 50% flowering, maturity, plant height, head diameter, leaf length, width, number of leaves per plant, 100 seed weight, volume yield/plant, stem girth, area index, chlorophyll content and oil at ICAR-Indian Institute Oilseeds Research during kharif-2022 rabi-2022-23, respectively. included a tot...

the rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. however, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. the objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including haloxylon ammodendron and atriplex canescens plantation o...
