Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana L.) is a popular herbage crop in Nepal. Although farmers produce teosinte seeds, management for maximizing seed yield unknown. A study was undertaken to investigate order explore the production potential of yield. There were four different sowing dates (30 March, 30 April, May and June), rates (20, 40, 60 80 kgha?1) three cuttings (nil, once at 45 days after (DAS), ...

The performance of the Paci¢c white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) under various stocking strategies was evaluated in earthen ponds ¢lled with freshwater amended with major ions. Six 0.1-ha earthen ponds located in Pine Blu¡, AR, USA, were ¢lled with freshwater in 2003 and 2004, and potassium magnesium sulphate added to provide 50mgK L 1 and stock salt added to provide 0.5 g L 1 salinity. ...

In the context of climate change, sowing date and cultivar choice can influence productivity sorghum, especially where production is constrained by low soil fertility early terminal drought across challenging agro-ecologies north-eastern Nigeria. Planting within an optimal window to fit cultivar’s maturity length critical for maximizing/increasing crop yield following appropriate climate-smart ...

in order to investigate the effects of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers on flower yield , yield components and some quality components of german chamomile, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in the medicinal plant research farm of shirvan college of agriculture during growing season of 2007-2008. nitr...

Work under this investigation included farm survey, extension, and research components using both the CLSU research station and demonstration farms. An experiment was conducted for the determination of optimal stocking sizes, considering the growth and survival performance of various sizes of fingerlings along with economic factors. Size #22 sex-reversed nursery phase fingerlings of Nile tilapi...

We studied the suitability of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) application to submerged rice paddies in the perspective of metal pollution hazards associated with such materials. Experiments were conducted during the wet seasons of 1997, 1998 and 1999 on rice grown under submerged condition, at the Agriculture Experimental Farm, Calcutta University at Baruipur, West Bengal, India. The treat...

Wastewaters from leather processing are very complex and lead to water pollution if discharged untreated, especially due to its high organic loading. In this study the survival of different plant species in subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetlands receiving tannery wastewater was investigated. Five pilot units were vegetated with Canna indica, Typha latifolia, Phragmites australis, Steno...

A field experiment was carried out at AICRP on Weed Management Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during kharif 2020-21. Fertigation is the technique supplying dissolved fertilizers to crops through an irrigation system.The laid in split plot design with three replications and twenty treatment combinations having four different fertigation lev...

Rice cultivation has been challenged by increasing food demand and water scarcity. We examined the responses of water use, grain yield, and water productivity to various modes of field water managements in Chinese double rice systems. Four treatments were studied in a long-term field experiment (1998-2015): continuous flooding (CF), flooding-midseason drying-flooding (F-D-F), flooding-midseason...
