Germination response of ten genetic resource materials of Gmelina arborea Roxb. to soil pH
The study was conducted to determine the germination response of ten genetic resource materials of yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) to acidic and alkaline soil germination media. Results of the study reveal significant differences between two germination media and between 10 mother trees on germination capacity and germination energy. However, there was no interactive effect observed […]
Adaptation of happy seeder in combine harvested paddy fields a case study of district Sheikhupura Punjab, Pakistan
Rice residue has high contamination of silica particles therefore it is not a good feed for animals as compared to wheat straw. Performance evaluations of different sowing techniques were conducted in combine harvested residue field. Experiment was conducted at four different locations of district Sheikhupura, Dera Arain, Saranwala, Dera Balm and Sakna Dahir during 2017-18. […]
Dormancy breaking and the influence of gibberellic acid on the early growth of Tamarindus indica seedlings in Mubi, Nigeria
The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate methods of breaking seed dormancy, level of water uptake, and the influence of gibberellic acid on the early growth of Tamarindus indica seedlings. The scarification methods used included: concentrated sulphuric acid (H2SO4), manual scarification, flaming, hot and cold water treatments. The experiments were conducted in […]
Evaluation of techniques on breaking seed dormancy on four philippine inbred rice varieties
This study evaluated the efficiency of six dormancy – breaking techniques on the germination of the four inbred rice varieties (PSB Rc82, NSIC Rc160, NSIC Rc218, NSIC Rc222) through the measurement of root and shoot length. This provides information to researchers, rice farmers and breeders in identifying the most efficient breaking dormancy techniques for the […]
Ginning traits, fiber and seed quality of cotton as influenced by foliar application of nitrogen, potassium and boron
Fertilizer management during reproductive stage of cotton is being attention to the researcher due to this stage root activities decrease by cotton plant. To mitigate the problem and evaluate optimum foliar fertilizer combination of nitrogen, potassium and boron for feeding of plant an experiment was conducted at Central Cotton Research Farm, Sreepur, Gazipur during cotton […]

Influence of different pre sowing seed invigoration techniques on early growth of different maize hybrids
Several seed conditioning approaches utilizing maize hybrids of priming precursors may develop crop establishment, performance and quality of corn. Seed priming treatments are used to minimize emergence time, enhanced germination rate and crop establishment in field crops like maize under adverse environment. A laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pre-sowing technique on […]
Seed ecology of Ecbolium ligustrinum (Vahl) Vollesen, an important medicinal plant of Asiatic tropics
Ecbolium ligustrinum (Vahl) Vollesen [Acanthaceae] is a regionally threatened widely used medicinally important plant. For the sustenance and formulation of conservation strategy, a thorough study regarding different seed ecological aspects of the plant species viz., seed production, seed-ovule ratio, seed-set percentage, seed dispersal and seed structure along with their germination, dormancy, scarification and moisture content […]
Effect of varied seeding densities on growth, yield and yield attributes of different wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes of Pothohar region
Seeding density is a key factor that affects grain yield and quality of wheat. An indiscrimination in seeding density has been observed across the wheat growing areas of Pothohar region. Hence optimization of planting density of Pothohar wheat genotypes is vital to boost its yield in rainfed areas as well as in the country. It […]
