Influence of Rhizobium inoculation on nodules, growth and yield of french beans cultivars
To study the influence of Rhizobium inoculation on nodules, growth and yield of French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars, an experiment was conducted at National Tea and High value crops research Institute (NTHRI) Shinkiari, Mansehra during 2016. Seeds of three different cultivars of French bean i.e ‘Evergreen’, ‘Komal green’ and ‘Winner’ were inoculated with Rhizobium […]
Evaluation of some biochemical and agronomic parameters of an Ivory Coast forest plant: Telfairia occidentalis Hook. F.
This study determined the nutrient components in Telfairia occidentalis seeds. The reponses of T. occidentalis seeds to transplantation and germination after drying were also investigated. To this end the rate of humidity, protein, fat, carbohydrate were determined according to the reference methods of AOAC. Besides, a comparison of the seeding of the air-dried seeds and […]
Estimation of Genetic Diversity among Oat Genotypes through Agro-morphological Traits
During the present study diverse germplasm comprising 124 oat accessions including three checks was evaluated for various quantitative agro-morphological traits in the research field of PGRI, NARC, Islamabad during the year 2013-14. The principal objective of the research was to study the magnitude of genetic diversity and relationships between different genotypes and to identify promising […]
Long-term study on invasive behavior of Myroxylon balsamum in the Udawattakele forest reserve, Kandy, Sri Lanka
The objective of this study was to estimate the changes in the vegetation structure and species composition of the Udawattakele forest reserve due to Myroxylon balsamum invasion during the twelve year period from 1998 to 2010. Species composition of the upper story and under story were evaluated through measuring Relative Importance Value (RIV) of species […]
Allelopathic effect of some tree fruits on wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
An experiment was conducted to determine the allelopathic potentials of fruits of different plant species on the germination of wan heat variety Pir Sabaq 2005. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and four replications. The aqueous solution of fruits of three plant species including Eucalyptus camaldulensi, Melia azedarach […]
Propagation protocol of Pteris vittata L. using spores for phytoremediation
Pteris vittata has been reported to be a hyperaccumulator of arsenic, and therefore useful in phytoremediation to clean-up arsenic-contaminated soils. Although factors for successful germination of spores have been identified, but information concerning the whole range of steps involved in mass propagating the fern is lacking. Thus, the study was aimed to develop a propagation […]
Tetraploid monogerm lines as maternal components of sugar beet hybrids
Tetraploid monogerm lines of sugar beet with pollen sterility and their hybrid combinations with diploid multigerm pollinators are the object of the present study. Data received for the sterility of the lines and the percentage of the hybrids in their progeny confirm the thesis, that almost a full hybridization is obtained in this type of […]
Qualities of monogerm male-sterile sugar beet lines
The majority of the commercial varieties of sugar beet in Europe are hybrids, based on monogerm diploid male-sterile females and multigerm diploid and tetraploid pollinators. The aim of the present study is by testing the basic biological qualities of recently created male-sterile sugar beet lines (male sterility, monogermity, seeds germination), and the combination of productivity […]
Evaluation of Maize Genotypes for Some Quantitative Traits in the Agro-Climatic Conditions of Swat Valley
The present study was carried out at Agriculture Research Institute (North) Mingora (ARI-N) Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the evaluation of 20 maize genotypes for ten quantitative traits in the agro-climatic conditions of Swat valley with the aim to reveal information on the nature and degree of genetic variability, the pattern of association between yield and […]
Response of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) to different levels of Ece and SAR
Salinity is a wide spread environmental stress that reduces the agricultural productivity of arid and semi-aridareas of the world. A three years pot trial was performed to study the tolerance of pharmaceutical plant i.e. black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) towards combined effect of electrical conductivity (ECe) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR)at its germination, vegetative growth […]
