Evaluation of Ameliorative Role of Biochar on Chromium Toxicity in Bottle Gourd
The present attempt was made to elucidate the ameliorative role of Biochar (BC) in response to chromium toxicity on bottle gourd seed germination. In this study, seeds were grown in pot experiment with six treatments (Control, Low Cr-20mg/kg, High Cr-100mg/kg, BC-2%, BC-2%+Low Cr-20mg/kg, BC-2%+High Cr-100mg/kg). Harvesting was done after 40 days of development. Growth parameters, […]
Isolation of phosphate solubilizing fungi from vegetable rhizosphere and their effects on growth of Tomato (Lycopersicon spp.)
Five (5) phosphate-solubilizing mold species isolated from the rhizosphere regimes of vegetable crops were characterized in terms of their solubilizing index (SI) and ability to grow at varying pH values. Solubilization index of isolates ranged from 1.89 (M3) to 2.56 (M6). In culture broth, PSF caused the pH dropped from 7.0 to 4.31 in 12 […]
Allelopathic effect of Oryza sativa L. (Rice) straw on Echinochloa crus-galli L. (Barnyard grass) and Ludwigia octovalvis (Primrose-willow)
This experimental research determined the allelopathic effects of Oryza sativa L. straw filtrate and fine cuttings on the seed germination, seedling emergence, growth, and dry weight of Echinochloa crus-galli L. and Ludwigia octovalvis. It compared the average percent inhibition of Oryza sativa L. (rice) straw fine cuttings treatments against the positive and negative treatments. It […]
Canopy effect of Prosopis juliflora on selected grass species by using soil aqueous extract in Afar Regional State, Ethiopia
Allelopathy effect of Prosopis juliflora canopy soil aqueous extracts on tropical grass species such as Cenchrus cillaris, Paspalidium desertorum and Lintonia nutans were tested under in vitro conditions. Leaf litter falling under canopy soil was collected and tested for allelopathic effects of soil aqueous extract under natural conditions. All the soil aqueous extracts showed significantly […]
Exogenous application of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) improves the nutritional status of Maize grown under salinity stress in response to Etiolation and De-etiolation conditions
Plant growth and developmental processes are affected by both absences of light and salinity stress. Light and salinity affect the plant’s essential nutrients by affecting the mineral uptake through the rooting system. A pot experiment was conducted under the ambient condition of Turbat, Balochistan, to explore etiolation and de-etiolation response of maize hybrid (SP-17S23) to […]
Vegetative propagation of Anonidium mannii (Oliver) Engler & Diels (Annonaceae) by leafy stem cuttings in Kisangani, DR Congo
This study tested the influence of substrate type, size surface and application of IBA auxin on rooting of stem cutting leaf of Anonidium mannii, a wild fruit species with low seed germination rate. Two trials were conducted. The first tested three substrate types that are sand, wood sawdust and rice husks. We also tested combinations […]
Effect of media amendments on invivo root and shoot organogenesis of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana L.)
Stevia, also known as sugar leaf or sweet weed, a highly valuable and medicinal plant domesticated recently in many countries of the world. Propagation of stevia usually by stem cuttings root easily, but require high labor inputs. Poor seed germination is one of the factors limiting large-scale cultivation. Therefore, an experimental study was carried out […]
Somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration of pummelo ‘Nambangan’ (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.)
Somatic embryogenesis is a method which needs to be mastered to support plant breeding in biotechnology. The induction of somatic embryos from various explants could be regenerated into plantlets. The aim of this study to establish somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration of pummelo ‘Nambangan’, one of the local prime fruit varieties in Indonesia, from various […]
