The aim of our long-term research program is to improve the quality and quantity amaranth production through mutation breeding using ?-radiation. In this paper, we present characterization new variety ‘Zobor’ A. hypochondriacus × hybridus developed by radiation-induced mutagenesis hybrid K-433. Multiyear phenotypic an important yield parameter (1000-seed weight) showed that studied mutant has a...

For determining the oil content, seed and fruit characteristics of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions of Ethiopia namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional state, Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where Jatropha is found abundantly. A total of 23 Zones, 36 Weredas and 40 sampling sites were considered from...

There has been some concern about using small seeds that may result from seed position on the ear or poor growing conditions for seeding hybrid maize. This study was designed to investigate the effect of seeding three commercial maize crosses (Single Cross 2010, Three-Way Cross 310 and Three-Way Cross 321) with three seed sizes (large, medium and small) under seven salinity levels of irrigation...

Objective: In order to study the effect of solopotasse fertilizer on yield and essential oil of cumin medicinal plant. Methods: A experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications conducted in kermam city, Iran, in 2013. solopotasse fertilizer in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg/h) investigated. Plant height, number of umbrella per plant, number of seed per umbrella, 1000...

this experiment was carried out in factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak (iran) during 2008-2009 growing season. three application rates of sulphur (s1=0, s2= 40 and s3=80 kg/ha) and three rapeseed varieties (okapi, modena and licord) comprised the experimental facto...

Forty-five, day-old broiler chicks with an initial average weight of 30.25±2.40 g were divided into three groups of fifteen animals each. The first group was placed on soybean-based (control) diet; the second group on raw (unfermented) T. catappa seed meal-based diet; and the third on A. niger-fermented T. catappa seed meal-based diet, for seven (7) weeks. Feed intake, feed conversion ratio, av...
