Seed quality, physical properties and proximate compositions of traditional Adan rice
In the presence study, Adan rice was evaluated for seed quality, some physical and proximate compositions. The seed purity and moisture content and germination was 99.76±0.07%, 10.53±0.50% and 91.33±1.29% respectively. Adan rice seed took minimum 4 days to fully germinate. The physical properties of Adan Rice were evaluated at 12.03 ±0.14% moisture content. The length, […]
Salinity effects on germination and growth of Malaysian weedy rice biotypes and cultivated rice
Germination and seedling growth of plant species are reduced in saline due to an external osmotic potential. An experiment was conducted at the laboratory, Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, to compare the salt effect on seed germination and growth of weedy rice and cultivated rice. Seeds (10 in each) were placed in petri […]
The impact of hydro-priming duration on seed invigoration and field emergence of milk thistle
Laboratory tests and a field experiment were conducted in 2015, to evaluate the effects of hydro-priming duration (0, 8 and 16 hours) on seed invigoration and seedling emergence of milk thistle. All laboratory tests were arranged as completely randomized design with four replications and the field experiment was carried out as randomized complete block design […]
Allelopathic potential of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) on germination and growth of some crop and weed plants
This study was conducted in the laboratories of Agricultural college, Salahaddin University to investigate the allelopathic potential of Raphanus sativus L. roots aqueous extracts on germination and growth of wheat, and barley crops with three endemic weed plants (Avina fatua , Phalaris minorand, Brassica napus), in order to indicate the potentiality of utilizing this extract […]
The effect of different soil and shade regime on germination and growth pattern of Dodonaea viscosa (Linn.) Jacq., in Malakand division
Both soil and shade are the most essential factors for the establishment and growth of plants. The study investigated two stages of Dodonaea viscosa reproduction, seed germination and seedling growth on various screening effects of four combinations i.e. B1S1-seeds sowed in pure Garden soil; B2S2-seeds sowed in field soil substrate containing organic manure (Humus); B3S3-seeds […]
Assessment of seed quality of pea (Pisum sativum L.) influenced by different storage containers at different storage periods
Three types of containers and four storage periods were used as experimental treatments. The experiment was laid out by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. Seed quality factors viz., moisture content, germination percentage, vigor index, percentage of abnormal seedling, normal seedlings and dead seed were recorded every 15 days interval. The initial moisture content […]
Effect of commercial growing media on emergence, growth and development of tomato seedlings
Commercial growth media were evaluated for their effect on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) seedling emergence, growth and development in 80% net shade house at Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources from March-April 2015. Three locally available commercial growth media (germination mix, cocopeat and hygromix) were used. A completely randomized design (CRD) with four repetitions […]
The Influence of Row Spacing on Yield and Quality Levels of Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) Seed in Agroecological Conditions of South Serbia
In agroecological conditions of South Serbia, the influence that row spacing has on sainfoin seeds yield and quality was examined. The Makedonka cultivar was sown at the row spacing of 20,40 and 60 cm. The three year average seed yield of 483.5 kg ha-1 was made. The first year yielded the lowest (256.1 kg ha-1), […]
The influence of row spacing on seed yield, yield components and seed quality of Alfalfa
In order to determine the influence row spacing has on yield, yield components and the quality of alfalfa in agro-ecological conditions of south Serbia, a three year long research has been conducted, testing the NS Novosadjanka H-11 cultivar of alfalfa. The average seed yield of alfalfa was highest at a row spacing of 40 cm […]
