The study aimed to evaluate the yield components and physiological quality of rice seeds produced, obtained from coated with rusk ash kaolin®. Treatments consisted coating two sources silicon (silicate aluminum-70% SiO2 (kaolin® husk ash- 95% SiO2) at doses 0; 30; 60; 90 120 g.100 kg-1 seed. Yield were evaluated: Seed per plant, number panicles plant plant. subjected germination, first ...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of the combined use of rain shelters (rs) and deficit irrigation (di) on tomato yield and quality characteristics. two experiments with different treatments were conducted in the southern china during the growing season in 2011 and 2012. the crops were irrigated to field capacity once average soil water content at the 0-60 cm layer in the treatm...

present communication deals with the study of four village fish culture ponds (two wild and two managed ponds) from district hisar of haryana, india was undertaken, to correlate the water quality and biological cycles in ponds with fish production. studies have revealed that the ponds are in good trophic status. chlorides, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, biochemical oxygen demand (bod), pho...

a long-term field experiment was conducted for 7 years to evaluate the effect of different amendments to mitigate the adverse effect of saline-sodic water in a calcareous soil under cotton-wheat cropping system. the pooled results over 7 years revealed that the application of saline-sodic water decreased the mean cotton-seed yield by 20.7% as compared to good quality canal water. however, wheat...

using mulch to decrease and optimize water use, increase yield and fruit quality is known as a practical method. for this purpose, a split-factorial experiment based on complete block design with three replications on two melon cultivars was conducted in torbat-e-jam, iran. interval irrigation treatments in three levels (six, eight and 10 days) were considered as main plot and mulch (rice straw...

soilless culture systems of strawberry production are increasing. yield and fruit quality are not only affected by growing media but also by chilling and horticultural managements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different growing media and chilling on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of three strawberry cultivars. the experiment was conducted in factorial experime...
