A pot-based experiment was conducted to investigate nutrient concentrations in cucumber plants intercropped with various amounts of green garlic. In addition, the soil nutrient contents were studied over two consecutive growing seasons. The results revealed that the accumulation of biomass and the nutritional elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) ...

Pesticides stored at or close to the soil surface after field application can be mobilized and transported off the field when surface runoff occurs. The objective of our study was to quantify the potential pesticide losses in surface runoff from a conventionally managed agricultural field in a Swedish climate. This was achieved by measuring surface runoff volumes and concentrations in runoff of...

Monitoring temporal variation of streamflow is necessary for many water resources management plans, yet, such practices are constrained by the absence or paucity data in rivers around world. Using a permanent river north Iran as test site, machine learning framework was proposed to model three periods growing seasons based on tree-rings and vessel features Zelkova carpinifolia species. First, f...

Phenotypic stability under stress environment facilitate the fitness of genotype and opens new horizons to explore the cryptic genetic variation. Variation in tolerance to drought stress, a major grain yield constraint to global maize production, was identified, at the phenotypic and genotypic level. Here we found a prominent hybrid H9 that showed fitness over four growing seasons for grain yie...

Abstract The pollen analysis has become an important technique to evaluate the use of selectively breeding crops, including three most grasses human nutrition. This study aimed reproductive potential oat species and their hybrid progeny (amphiploids) during consecutive vegetation seasons. Correlation regression analyses were used describe morphotypes viability grains, while numerical taxonomy m...
