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 […]
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 […]
Effect of varied seed rate 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 genotypes is vital to boost its yield in the country as well as in rainfed areas. It is […]
Efficacy of vermicompost on seedling growth of Solanum melongena var. Mayalu and Arka Keshav
Production of healthy seedling is a must for successful plant production. This paper deals with the evaluation of the effects of five different vermicompost applied at four different concentrations on seed germination and seedling quality of Solanum melongena var. arka keshav and mayalu in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. The experiments were conducted in a complete […]
Response in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seedling growth to seed priming with iron oxide nanoparticles
The increasing application of nanoparticles (NPs) in various fields has made it crucial to study its impact on environment. Considering the positive and negative effect, study of nanoparticles is of concern in crops. It is known to directly influence crop growth and also enter food chain affecting living beings. Therefore, the present study was undertaken […]
Effects of invigoration and spacing on growth and seed production of four bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L) Verdc) Landraces
Low production of bambara groundnut in Indonesia is due to low quality seeds and the use of less optimal cultivation technology. Objective of the research was to obtain information on the effects of invigoration and spacing on the growth and seed production of four of bambara groundnut landraces, namely Sumedang, Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya, and Gresik. Field […]
Na+ and K+ accumulation at Atriplex grains (Halimus, Nummularia, Canescence) after application of NaCl at the germination stage
This study is based on showing the extent to accumulation of the Na+ and K+ As a way to tolerate high grades of salinity Which is characterized by the plant Atriplex. This experiment was applied to the laboratories of the faculty of science of nature and life at the Echahid Hamma Lakhdar University of Eloued […]
Effect of sowing dates on germination of common water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart) solms in Central Iraq
Keeping in view, the importance of water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart.) Solms in reducing the biological diversity, this research was aimed to determine the seed germination percentage in suitable environmental condition in order to stop its further extension to improve the long-term management particularly in Diyala province. This study included the identification of the seed […]
