pre-harvest desiccation of rapeseed crop may allow a more timely harvest as well as increase the speed and harvest operation efficiency as a second crop after rice. an effective desiccant which could be used as a harvest-aid with no negative effects on rapeseed yield and quality would be advantageous for oil seed crop producers and may reduce yield losses with no interferential effects on rice ...

study the effects of inoculation with two arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi, gm (glomus mosseae t.h. nicolson & gerd.)gerd & trappe) and gi (glomus intraradices  n.c. schenck & g.s. sm.) on the  herb yield, essential oil (eo) content and nutrient acquisition of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) under drought stress conditions,the experiment conducted with 9 treatments and 4 replications. drought stre...
