Basal area growth rates for Prosopis glandulosa were quantified for contrasting landscape elements in a subtropical savanna. We hypothesized that growth rates of P. glandulosa plants (1) are a function of seasonal or annual rainfall; and (2) vary with patch type and in the rank order observed for large trees. Prosopis glandulosa growth was responsive to changes in rainfall (!0)974 cm year!1 in ...

Dates are considered high energy nutritional fruits as they packed with plenty of minerals, vitamins and sugars. Among various options available for processing value addition, dry dates one the best possible alternatives to convert doka/khalal stage fruit into a product. However, technology their production is limited few traditional date growing countries research in expanding areas. Thus, pro...

to investigate the effects of sowing date on yield and quality of six forage maize cultivars in rasht region, a field study was conducted in 2010. the experimental design was a randomized complete block using a factorial arrangement with three replications. treatments consisted of four levels of sowing date (22 may, 3, 15 and 25 june), and six maize cultivars (sc 260, dc 370, sc 500, sc 647, sc...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

in order to find out suitable organic fertilizers for elimination of chemical fertilizers usage and the optimum sowing date in pot marigold cultivation, an experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2007 growing season. for this purpose a split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with three replications was use...

Tip-dating methods are becoming popular alternatives to traditional node calibration approaches for building time-scaled phylogenetic trees, but questions remain about their application to empirical datasets. We compared the performance of the most popular methods against a dated tree of fossil Canidae derived from . CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license peer-reviewed) is the author/funder. It ...
