under condition of limited water supply, determination of minimum water requisite to keep potential yield should be considered as an important target. with this respect, a field experiment was conducted at research farm of university college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in 2012-2013, karaj, iran. the experiment was conducted in a split plot, based on randomized co...

A follow-up study on the quality of maize for sale in West African public markets was carried out in Benin and Niger from August 15-28, 2013. Complementing the earlier study, this present assessment included not only retailers but also wholesalers and maize producers. Samples were evaluated for parameters related to the physical quality of the maize and for aflatoxin contamination. Most maize v...

to evaluate canola cultivars response to physiological characteristics and grain yield end seasonal drought stress in weather condition of ahvaz, farm experiments were done at research farm of khuzestan agriculture and natural resources center. during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 crop years. farm test comprised drought stress was done as split plot form with randomize complete block design with four...

in recent decades, as the result of industrial life, consuming fried and fast foods have increased significantly. excessive use of fat, especially saturated fats and trans fatty acids is one of the important factors that increases heart diseases, weight gain, and cancers. therefore, using effective methods for decreasing fat absorption not only retains desirable features but also seems essentia...

Dentin moisture content is important in adhesive bonding and structural strength research. However, there is no rapid method available to assess dentin moisture without sample destruction. This study examined the use of a digital grain moisture meter to measure root dentin moisture in vitro. Extracted mandibular single rooted teeth were sectioned at the CEJ. The moisture of the root dentin was ...

in order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of zn and mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two levels of mn...

Conventional techniques for the determination of moisture content in grain often use small static samples to represent several tons of material, A more desirable alternative would be a method which utilizes continuous dynamic moisture measurement of the grain. The potential for making density-independent moisture content measurements in both static and flowing grain using microwave frequencies ...

The aim of this study was to determine nature and extent of variability parameters and their utilization in barley breeding programme. A total of 45 F1s along with their parents and F2 populations were evaluated in a randomized block design with 3 replications during Rabi (winter season) 2014. The various traits measured were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf area...
