The narrow genetic variation of bread wheat is one of the limitations to improve it for drought-tolerance. The research carried out to study the responses of different genotypes and traits to imposed moisture stress. The plant material comprised of 10 Aegilops tauschii accessions as well as a tolerant (BW2) and a susceptible (BW1) bread wheat cultivar. To assess the root and shoot-traits, two s...

in order to determine the effect of potassium silicate solution with elements of macro and micro elements on agronomic traits of rice, tarom, a field experiment in paddy fields galogah city - village marbles of the crop year 2014 was conducted. the results showed that the highest plant height (013/180 cm) to 2 liters per hectare and no interaction effects of potassium silicate elements. the res...

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during August, 2008 to January 2009 to find out the optimum plant spacing and number of seedling per hill in relation to tillering and dry matter accumulation of transplanted rice plant. The experiment was carried out with three plant spacings (S =15 cm × 20 cm, S = 20 cm × 20 cm and S...

to study yield and its relationships with yield components in 10 varieties of foxtail millet (kfm1 to kfm10), an experiment was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center in rcbd design with three replications for a period of three years (2003 to 2005). vegetative and reproductive characteristics of each cultivar were recordered during the growing seasons. three year results showed si...

Increase in rice yield under excessive nitrogen (N) supply is negligible, hence it is necessaryto analyze the limiting factors via yield components. The present study was carried out during2014 and 2015 growing seasons in order to quantify the yield componenents of different typesof tiller at various N levels. Tillers were divided into three different types (superior, mediumand inferior) based ...

Since many of the quantitative plant characters of economic values are highly influenced by environmental condition, the progress in breeding in such a population is primarily conditioned by the magnitude, nature and inter-relations of genotypic and non-genotypic variations in plant characters. Therefore we estimated phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlation coefficients and path coef...

Inoculation of wheat with Azospirillum brasilense, combined with the application of four fungal and bacterium-inhibiting substances to which A. brasilense is resistant in the soil, decreased the rhizosphere population, while it increased wheat root colonization by A. brasilense, even in cases of poor inoculation. The inoculation significantly increased the following wheat plant parameters as we...

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...
