Elevated atmospheric CO2 can result in larger plants returning greater amounts of residue to the soil. However, the effects of elevated CO2 on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling for different soybean varieties have not been examined. Aboveground residue of eight soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties was collected from a field study where crops had been grown under two different atmospheri...

Field and laboratory investigations were undertaken at Nagarjun Medicinal Plants Garden from 1984 - 1987 with object to find out the suitable variety of palmarosa having high yield of foliage and oil. From the pooled analysis the variety IW - 3631 showed highest dry foliage yield (10271 KG / ha) which was significantly superior over all varieties i.e, IW 3632, IW-3630, IW RRL (B) - 65 and IW - ...

Sugarcane is semiperennial and produces considerable biomass, forming an ideal habitat for insects. Most insects do not affect crops, but some compete with humans for sugar and by-products. Sugarcane stalkborers are key pests of this crop worldwide because they feed directly on the vegetative tissues that store sucrose, allowing the introduction of micro-organisms that affect yield and quality....

WE DEVELOPED, TNAURICE: a database comprising of the rice varieties released from a public institution, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore, India. Backed by MS-SQL, and ASP-Net at the front end, this database provide information on both quantitative and qualitative descriptors of the rice varities inclusive of their parental details. Enabled by an user friendly search utility...

Comparing data produced from artificial inoculation experiments to evaluate smut susceptibilities of varieties, with observations on established variety trials and results from smut exposure trials, it was concluded that the varietal resistance to smut was best determined by natural infection methods. The smut susceptibility of about 50 varieties under test in the Lowveld has been determined. N...

Paucity of knowledge on resistant variety, high yield loss ranging from 32- 57% and dearth management Alternaria leaf spot has been the major concerns in radish production world. Our study will aid multiplication standardization germane variety to disease so as escalate production, productivity, competitiveness domestic well international market. Hence, this experiment was rendered screen genot...
