Impact of chitosan-raw-material (Shrimp shell powder) on the grain yield and agronomic characteristics of transplanted aman rice (BRRI dhan56)

To investigate the impact of chitosan-raw-material on BRRI dhan56 yield maximization, a field experiment was carried out. Four treatments with five replications each were used in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) experiment setup. Different dosages and application techniques (seedbed and main field applied methods) were used with the chitosan raw material. The following were […]

Physiological response of mungbean for grain yield and yield components under normal and late planting conditions

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is a leguminous crop having capability of fixing atmospheric nitrogen through specific bacteria present in nodulated roots. To study the physiological response of mung bean ( Vigna radiata L. ), an experiment was conducted at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Fatehjang to examine five Mungbean genotypes viz., AZRI Mung 2006, NM 2006, […]

Effect of nitrogen levels and number of mites on some growth characteristics and the harvest of green fodder and grain yield for Barley (Hordeum vulgaire L.)

Barley Hordeum vulgaire L is an important grain crop, it ranks fourth after (wheat, rice and yellow corn) and is grown in large areas in most parts of the world and the Arab world. The aim of this research is to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and quality […]

Grain yield potential and stability of some open-pollinated varieties, exotic hybrids and promising single crosses of maize (Zea mays L.) in Central Sudan

Maize (Zea mays L.) in the Sudan is a promising cereal crop with the potential usefulness for both human beings and livestock. In this study, 13 maize genotypes were evaluated over two consecutive seasons (2013 and 2014) at three locations, viz. Gezira, Rahad and Elsuki research stations farms of the Agricultural Research Corporation (ARC), under […]

Genotype by environment interaction and stability for grain yield in corn (Zea mays L)

This study was carried out with the aim of identifying eight inbreed line of maize through season 2016 in three different environmental location (Wasit, Diwaniyah and Nasiriyah) to determine the most stable inbreed. The study involved planting this breeds (Inp-6, Pio-17, Syn-9, Zm-17, Pio-3, S-10, MGW-1 and Ast-B). Using RCBD design to three replicate. The […]

Effects of Aspergillus flavus inoculation on spring Maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop and widely consumed over the globe, but its production is very challenging due to its contamination by Aspergillus species. Aspergillus flavus is the most dominant fungi that produce aflatoxin in many major crops. Aflatoxin producing fungi mostly attack during the development of crops and induce infection. Present […]

Mapping QTLs for grain yield components in bread wheat under well-watered and rain-fed conditions

Wheat production is often decreased by water limitation in world particularly in drought-prone environments. To map quantitative trait loci for grain yield as an important economic traits affecting wheat production, a recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population obtained from a cross between two spring bread wheats (Iran #49 and Yecora Rojo) was evaluated for grain yield […]

Response of P2O5, K2O and seed rate on grain yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) fodder variety Bajra 2011

Response of P2O5, K2O and seed rate on grain yield of Pearl millet variety ‘Bajra 2002’ was studied in field experiment during kharif seasons of 2015 and 2016. Fifteen management practices such as three P2O5 and K2O levels and five seed rates were imposed with three replication using split plot design. Parameters included plant height, […]

Effect of seed rate and row spacing on grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) cultivar ‘Sargodha 2002’

The effect of seed rate 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40kg/ha and row spacing 30, 45, and 60cm on agronomic characteristics of plants including plants/m2, plant height, stem diameter, number of cobs/m2, cob/plant, number of grains/cob, 1000 grain weight and grain yield was conducted using the cultivar “Sargodha 2002” for two years from 2015-16 to […]

Grain yield performance of Carthamus tinctorius L. cultivars under water deficient condition

To evaluate the effect of drought stress (control and no irrigation at budding and flowering stages) on growth and grain yield of three spring safflower (Saffeh, Goldasht and Sina), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was performed in Khsroshar of Tabriz, during 2014-15 growing season. There were significant differences […]
