The dipolar cycloaddition reactivity of N-(1-naphthy1)-1,4- benzoquinoneimine N-oxide and N-phenyl-1,4- naphthoquinoneimine Noxide are investigated, The latter gives the expected adducts with common dipolarophiles such as acrylonitryle, methyl methacrylate, dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate and N-phenylmaleimide. The reactivity of the former nitrone is found to be minimal. It undergoes, how...

the nitrogen (n) nutrition, crop yield, and responses of wheat to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) were tested in an experimental field under free-air ozone concentration [o3] enrichment (face) conditions. the experiment included three treatments: ambient [o3] (ambient), elevated [o3] (face, targeted at ambient [o3]×1.5), and elevated [o3] inoculated with an amf consortium consisting of sever...

Bio-fortification of food crops is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to decrease malnutrition arising from micronutrients deficiencies. Accordingly, the pot experiments have been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of various foliar-applied iron (Fe) fertilizers in increasing agro-morphological traits and grain micronutrients concentrations of bread wheat plants unde...

Alfalfa is a good green manure source, but its effect on rice growth has not been fully elucidated. Two green manure species, alfalfa and broad bean (Vicia faba L.), and two N fertilizer levels, alone or combination, were applied to a rice field. The results indicated that alfalfa had more pronounced effects on increasing soil labile phosphorus (P) fractions (including NaHCO3-Pi, NaOH-Pi), P up...

The occurrence of P. verrucosum and ochratoxin A (OTA) were surveyed for 3 and 4 years, respectively. A total of 250 samples was collected from an average of 30 farms during the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 winter seasons. Most storage bins surveyed were typically 11 m high round bins made of corrugated, galvanized steel, with flat-bottoms and conical roofs. Samples of clumped grain contained the ...

to study the effects of biofertilizers in their different levels of nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) on yield related parameters of barley (sahra cultivar), a split plot experiment based upon a randomized complete block design of three replications was conducted. main plots consisted of: nitrogen at three levels (0, 50 and 100 kg n ha-1 as urea), while sub plots were: phosphorus at two levels (0...

Shoot biomass is considered a relevant component for crop yield, but relationships between biological productivity and grain yield in legume crops are usually difficult to establish. Two field experiments were carried out to investigate the relationships between grain yield, biomass production and N and P accumulation at reproductive stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars. Nine an...

A field experiment was carried out in the Light village of Netrokona Sadar during the period from December 2010 to March 2011 to study the performance of some wheat varieties in terms of nutrient contents and their uptake. The experiment comprised of five varieties of wheat viz. BARI Gam 25, Shatabdi, BARI Gam 26, Prodip and Bijoy. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block desi...
