The adoption of non-flooded rice systems, either partial or full, will become a major imperative in Pakistan for rational use of declining water resources. This study aimed to compare partial and fully aerobic rice systems by quantifying crop performance, water productivity WP, and nitrogen use efficiency NUE in a field experiment was conducted at the research area of the Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to evaluate the potential of different fertilizers under alternate submerged non-submerged condition (ASN) and continuous non-submerged system(CN). Experimental design was randomized complete block design in a split-plot arrangement with three replicates. Net plot size was 5 m × 3 m. Using rice cultivar Super Basmati as experimental material, two water regimes i.e. ASN and CN will be tested against three different sources of nitrogenous fertilisers i.e. urea, ammonium sulphate and calcium ammonium nitrate with nitrogen application rate of 120 kg ha−1.
The study analyses the extent of drought events and its consequences on agriculture. This is to integrate drought adaptation options into government development plans
The baobab tree (Adansonia digitata L.) is an essential multi-purpose tree species of dry land in Sudan however, its potentiality not yet fully discovered. It’s isolated and neglected from many application and uses in Sudan.
This experiment was conducted in Dugda district of East Shoa Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia from 2018 to 2019with the aim to evaluate the effect of sole and integrated application of Gypsum (CaSo4.H2o) and compost as soil salinity amendment.
The diversity of tiny plants /microorganisms and their associates are governed by wide array of intricate natural factor like those of temperature, relative humidity, light intensity etc respectively
An experiment to see the effect of FeSO4 supplementation (0, 5, 10 and 15 mg k.g-1 FeSO4) along with NPK basal dose (20:25:10 mg kg-1 ) on growth and ionic concentration
The study forecasts demand and supply of prawn in Nigeria from 2015-2025. Times series data from 1950-2015 were collected from secondary sources and analyzed using descriptive statistics like % ages and inferential statistics like linear and grafted models
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 in the experimental farm of the Department of Environmental Science, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry Nauni (30o86'N, 77o16'E and 1275 m amsl)
As a physical mutagen, gamma radiations play a vital role in crop improvement. However, mutagenesis is a non-targeted induction of variations in genomes and it could lead to unique mutant phenotypes that can form an important repository for basic science on plant growth and development
Pseudomonas spp are largely known to produce siderophores that mainly ensure the Fe(++) chelation. Thus, this mechanism may induce an indirect inhibitory effect of plant pathogenic fungi.
Field experiments were conducted during the 2016 and 2017 cropping seasons to determine the effects of living, dead organic mulches and their combinations on weed suppression and maize (Zea mays L.) performance in Calabar, southeastern Nigeria
The objective of this study is to investigate the allelopathic effect of water extract from different parts of Calotropis procera and Leptadenia pyrotechnica on seed germination and seedling growth of Acacia senegal
The presence of decay is a very serious defect which renders tomato unmarketable. Fungi are the most important and prevalent pathogens infecting a wide range of fruits and causing destructive and economic important losses of fruits during storage, transportation and marketing
