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 […]
Effect of curd size on seed yield and quality of Cauliflower (Brasicaoleraceae var. botrytis L.)
A field experiment, to see the effect of curd size on seed quality and yield of cauliflower (Brasica oleraceae var. botrytis L.) using cultivar ‘Hansa’ was conducted at vegetable experimental area, Institute of Horticultural Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during 2016-2017. Five different head sizes were used as treatments comprising of T1 (Very small curd […]
Effect of osmotic stress on germination and growth of Iranian wheat cultivars
In order to evaluate the response of wheat cultivars to drought stress, ten wheat cultivars, in the germination and seedling growth stages, were studies based on morphological traits. Germination test was done in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments consisted of ten cultivars of wheat and five osmotic potential levels (0, -2.5, […]
Exploring Allelopathic potential of carrot weed (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) on germination and early growth of maize (Zea mays L.)
Studies were carried out to scrutinize allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus L. on germination and growth of maize crop. Seed germination, seedling growth and biomass production was also examined. Distilled water was use as a control treatment. Completely randomized design (CRD) was used along with five treatments and three replications. Results revealed […]
Comparison of seed viability in vegetable and grain type soybean (Glycine max L.) Merrill] as influenced by packing materials and seed treatments during storage
Vegetable soybean is one of the largest protein rich grain crop in the world. Maintaining high seed viability in soybean during the storage period is very important for seed industry. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of packing materials and seed treatment on seed viability of vegetable soybean in comparison with […]
Allolophatic effect of Parthenium liquid extract on mung bean germination ability and early growth
Allelopathy is the most dangerous weapon acquired by most of the weeds plants to compete with crops, and suppressed their growth, but their level of toxicity and it effect is different (among crops to crops, weeds to weeds and part to part), so therefore to study the allolophatic effect of Parthenium hysterophorus on mung bean, […]
