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, […]
Priming impacts on seed quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) under salinity condition
This study aimed to investigate the seed priming effects on the quality of tomato seeds under salinity and non-salinity conditions. The factorial design was carried out in the form of completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. The treatments included priming (Control, tryptophan, proline and arginine with five mM concentration) and levels of salinity (0, […]
Effect of seed priming durations on growth and yield of wheat varieties
The results revealed that the crop treated 1.5 hour seed priming proved to be more effective than the treatments with 87.33% seed germination, 88.00 cm plant height, 3.5367 m2 number of tillers, 11.611 cm spike length, 49.667 spikelet’s spike-1, 46.667 grain spike-1, 1.3011 g grain weight spike-1, 46.367 g seed index, 17174 kg ha-1 biological […]
Variation of physicochemical parameters of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) haustorium during germination
This study is done to determine the biochemical characteristics of coconut haustorium during germination in order to propose ways of increasing their commercial value. The Malaysia Yellow Dwarf (MYD) cultivar was used for this study. The coconut were stored during one month before putting in seedbed at the nursey.At2 and 4 months of germination, biochemical […]
Germination response of five tree species on hospital wastewater
World is facing water scarcity and wastewater may be important source of water and nutrients for irrigation. Estimates reveal that about 10% of agri-land is irrigated usingwastewater with both positive and negative effects on ecosystem. Since wastewater reuse is currently necessary (due to water shortage). The best feasible management practice is to use wastewater for […]
Characterization and seed quality of some dwarf soybean genotypes
An investigation was carried out at the experimental field of the Department of Agronomy of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during January 2012 through April 2012, to characterize different plant parameters of thirteen dwarf soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes. A wide diversity among the genotypes in their physio-morphological characters including yield was recorded. […]
