The range grazing and distance walked for diet selection and nutritive value were studied in close and open range systems at the flowering and seed setting stages during the September and November 2009 respectively in El-khuwei locality (El Rosa). A completely randomized design was used (CRD). Sampling was done by two stage flowering and seed sating stage under protected and open range systems ...

Aquilegia `Rose-White' flowered from seed in about five months without vernalization. GA4/7 treatment increased stem height, induced earlier flowering, and increased the number of flowers/ plant. Each of these responses, however, was dependent upon both rate (10, 25, or 50 ppm) and timing of application (4-, 8-, or 12-leaf stage). Treatment at the 4-leaf stage resulted in earlier flowering at a...

Drought is one of the major threats to cowpea productivity in tropical countries, and understanding its impacts germane ensuring food security a global context. The present study was established screen some accessions for drought tolerance at flowering stage pots under controlled conditions house. High significant differences were observed among wilting recovery traits, stomatal conductance, re...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...

Satureja hortensis L., (summer savory) is an annual, herbaceous aromatic and well-known medicinal plant. S. hortensis essential oil has a high percentage of carvacrol which is responsible mainly for its biological activity. The biomass production, essential oil composition and mineral content of Satureja hortensis are known to be dependent on its growth and development conditions. The aim of th...
