A Comparative Study on The Growth Performance of Spinacia oleracea L. (Spinach) in Hydroponic and Soil-Based Systems

by

Significant environmental harm is caused by the global food production system, which also uses an enormous number of resources. Agriculture constitutes 60-70% of the total global water consumption, as reported by FAO in 2019. The practice of cultivating soil is currently encountering challenges due to various human activities, including industrialization and urbanization, soil fertility and quality depletion are … Read more

Effect of heat use efficiency on bioproduction of drought resistance eliciting phytochemicals in groundnut (Arachishypogaea L.) genotypeGKVK-5

by

INTRODUCTION Heat stress caused by increased temperature is a major problem in world agriculture. Plants experience a range of morpho-anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes in response to brief or persistently high temperatures. These changes can have a significant effect on the growth of plants. and development and potentially result in a sharp decline in economic … Read more

1. Introduction Fruits have been significantly singled out in human nutrition for the supply of minerals, vitamins, and some hormone pre-cursors in addition to protein and energy [38]. Despite their importance in the diet, per capita consumption of fruits in Cameroon is only 100g compared with 400g of daily consumption per head as recommended by … Read more

Characterization of The Chemical Composition of White Mulberry (Morus alba) Leaves Extracts and Its Role in The Mutualism Between White Mulberry and Silkworms (Bombyx mori)

by

Sericulture is a traditional farming activity that involves cultivating mulberry trees to harvest their leaves to feed silkworms (Bombyx mori L.), reared to produce silk [1]. Silk is one of the world’s oldest and most precious textiles. It is a natural animal fiber derived from the cocoons of domesticated mulberry silkworms. Silk is a structural … Read more

Decadal Analysis of Rainy Days and Extreme Rainfall Events in Different Agroclimatic Zones of Punjab

by

INTRODUCTION The agriculture based economy like India mainly dependent upon timely and adequate availability of water. The amount of rainfall received over a region plays the key role to meet the demand of water for agriculture, power generation, domestic water supply and other industries. Climate change globally impacts the pattern, intensity, duration and frequency of … Read more

Response of early seedling inberd lines of wheat against 20% PEG6000 induced condtion

by

Seed germination, the first stage of growth, is susceptible to water scarcity because soil moisture at the time of planting may hinder seedling emergence, which in turn affects yield output [1-2]. Due to a water deficit, plant physiological and biochemical processes as well as growth and development may all be significantly impacted [3]. The plant … Read more

Effects of PEG6000 and NaCl stresses on germination of Benisuif-5 durum wheat genotype

by

Crop improvement has come a long way, but modern agriculture is confronting some unheard-of hurdles to keep up with the expanding human demand [1]. Physiological screening procedures are generally resisted by plant breeders because they are thought to be more expensive, time-consuming, and challenging to employ. Therefore, growing interest has been shown in the use … Read more

Study on the Prevalence and Farmers Managements Practices of Termites on Maize (Zea mays L.) in Eastern Wollega

by

In Ethiopia, termites are one of the major threats to agricultural crops, forest trees and buildings in western part of the country [1]. Termite attacks caused up to 36% reduction in yields of maize respectively in the region [2, 3 &4]. This devastating insect pest also causes soil degradation by reducing vegetation and leaving the … Read more
