Wheat is one of the most widely distributed crops worldwide and is of primary importance as food for human nutrition. Increasing the productivity of the new wheat varieties according to the specific climate of the region is a permanent major task. The impact of environment and some agronomy practices (previous crop and mineral fertilization) on the productivity and the structural elements of yi...

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...

Identification by the Ulysses spacecraft of interstellar grains inside the planetary system provides a new window for the study of diffuse interstellar matter. Dust particles observed by Ulysses and confirmed by Galileo are more massive (≥ 10−13 g) than the ’classical’ interstellar grains. Even bigger grains (≈ 10−7 g) were observed in form of interstellar meteors. We analyze the consequences o...

Aim. The goal of this work was to study the effect drought in critical phase ontogenesis on growth and productivity breed winter wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.). Methods. Wheat cultivars Darunok Podillya Podolyanka were grown under optimal nutrition well-water conditions until earing-flowering phase, after that experimental transferred regime for 8 days, water supply restored end vegetation...

Quinoa is a plant seed well known scientifically as Chenopodium quinoa. It super food. In the present study white bold quinoa variety was analyzed for physical, functional, cooking and nutritional properties. Thousand kernel weight (2.24g), length (2.2125mm), hydration capacity (0.16g/1000 kernel) bulk density 0.74g/ml. Lightness of grains 87.56 L*. Grains had 157.3 per cent water holding capac...

Thirty advanced breeding lines of deep-water rice were evaluated during T. Aman season (rainfed ecosystem) with a view to finding out variability and genetic association for grain yield and its component characters. All the tested characters showed significant variation. The highest genetic variability was obtained in filled grains/panicle followed by plant height. Panicles/plant, filled grains...

The present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the nature and magnitude of variability, degree of association between yield and it`s component characters and their direct, indirect effects on grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Thirty three genotypes were evaluated for identifying their efficiency with respect to 20 yield and quality traits. High heritability with high gene...

in order to investigate the contribution of ear photosynthesis and cytokinin in determining grain sink size, a pot study was conducted during january to june 2005 in cereal glasshouse of faculty of agriculture of karaj, iran. experiment was conducted in a complete randomized design with a factorial arrangement of two factors, three replications and four pots in each plot. factors included culti...

this study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of faba bean. to this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in behbahan region at south eastern part of khuzestan province of iran. the experimental treatments included ni...

Salinity is an important abiotic stress that reduces growth and productivity of different crops. In many agricultural soils cyanobacteria or blue green algae are the prominent inhabitants, where they potentially contribute to improve soil fertility and crop productivity under normal and abiotic stress conditions. Glycinebetaine is an osmoprtectant compound improving plant tolerance to abiotic s...
