Abstract Cyanobacteria like Arthrospira platensis and Nostoc muscorum are known to be beneficial for plant development. They can improve growth, yield, proximate content (protein carbohydrate), stimulate tolerance abiotic stresses herbicides. In the present study, impacts of brominal herbicide (Bh) alone or in combination with natural cyanobacterial synthetic tryptophan treatments were investig...

Using adequate sample size in experimental units improves the efficiency of the research. In the agricultural year of 2004/2005, an experiment was conducted in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, with the objective of estimating sample size for the following traits: ear length, ear and cob diameter, ear weight, weight of grains per ear, cob weight and the weight of 100 grains, number ...

in order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and plant density on the morphological triats, yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays l. var sc. 403) an experiment was conducted at the khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, mashhad, iran during 2008. this experiment was carried out as split plot based on rcbd with four replications. the sowing date (14th ...

in order to investigation of nitrogen fertilizer split application effect on quantity yield and grain quality of rice varieties, an experiment was carried out based on rcbd design as split plot experiment in three replications in langroud in 2006. mainand sub factor were variety (hashemi and bahar 1) and five nitrogen fertilizer split application (split of 150 kg.ha-1 n at transplanting, stemmi...

Currently, an estimated 32.9% of American adults are overweight, 34.3% are obese, and 5.9% are extremely obese (38). In fact, adults defined as being normal weight, i.e., those whose body mass index (BMI) falls in the range of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2, are a minority within the U.S. population. Coupled with declines in physical activity, overconsumption of calorie-rich, nutrient-poor foods is contrib...

(1) Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a staple food cereal for most of the rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, great diversity sorghum cultivar cultivated, but its nutritional potential still needs to be assessed. This study aims characterize physicochemical and profile grains from 15 cultivars grown Faso order identify best ones selection breeding progr...

20 hulless barley lines were assessed by grain yield and other agronomic traits in 2006 and 2007 in the research station of the university of tabriz, iran. the experiments in each year were carried out as randomized complete block design with four replications. the genotypes were significantly different for most of the studied traits. this indicated the existence of large genetic variation in t...

in order to investigate the effect of zinc element application on growth and some morphophysiological of maize (single cross 704) an experiment was conducted during 2010 at greenhouse. experimented design was complete randomize factorial with four replications. treatments of experiment were soil salinity (4, 8 ds.m-1 and 0 as a control) and different zinc concentration including 0, 10 and 20 mg...

– We study the stress profile of an ordered two-dimensional packing of beads in response to the application of a vertical overload localized at its top surface. Disorder is introduced through the coulombic friction between the grains which gives some indeterminacy and allows the choice of one constrained random number per grain in the calculation of the contact forces. The so-called ‘multi-agen...
