Germination potential of Falcataria mollucana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes on different hot water pre-germination treatment and germination media
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the germination potential of Falcataria mollucana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes as affected by the length of time soaking in hot water, different germination media, and light conditions. The experiment was carried out using a three-factor in split-split plot design arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCDB) with […]
Effect of harvesting stage on seed yield and quality of Okra sown at different dates
Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of harvesting stages i.e. (mature pod of turning stage, brown undried stage and brown dried stage) on seed yield and quality attributes of okra sown at different dates (March 10, March 30, April 19 and May 9) at Agriculture Research Institute Tarnab Peshawar, during 2016 and 2017. […]
A response of tropical tree Terminalia arjuna (Arjun) [Combretaceae-Myrtales] seeds and seedlings towards the presowing seed treatment in forest nursery of Sargodha, Pakistan
A tropical evergreen woody tree Terminalia arjuna Roxb. (T. arjuna), native to India and commonly found along the river banks and canals, has the high medicinal value especially for heart related diseases. A present study was conducted over the period of 4 months to check the pre-sowing seed treatment effects on T. arjuna seeds in […]
A response of tropical tree Terminalia arjuna (arjun) [Combretaceae-Myrtales] seeds and seedlings towards the pre-sowing seed treatment in forest nursery of Sargodha, Pakistan
A tropical evergreen woody tree Terminalia arjunaRoxb. (T. arjuna), native to India and commonly found along the river banks and canals, has the high medicinal value especially for heart related diseases. A present study was conducted over the period of 4 months to check the pre-sowing seed treatment effects on T. arjuna seeds in nursery […]
Effects of different hot water pre-germination treatment and germination media on the germination of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana, (Miq.) Barneby and J.W. Grimes)
Since hot water treatment is the most common pre-germination treatment for falcata seeds. The ideal soaking time in hot water (100°C) to break dormancy of falcata seeds and the effective germination media that can enhanced germination were investigated. The germination of seeds soaked in different length of time viz., 5 secs, 15 secs and 30 […]
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 […]
