In Bangladeshi soils, nitrogen is one of the most inadequate plant nutrients. Although nitrogenous fertilisers, particularly prilled urea, are widely utilised in rice cultivation, their efficacy is low when applied via the old broadcast method. For framers, urea is available as prilled urea, urea supergranules, and NPK briquettes. During...

During the 2008 and 2009 crop seasons, a field experiment was conducted in Imla, Gambella Zuria District, Gambella, southwestern Ethiopia, to determine the application rates of N and P fertilisers for rice variety NERICA-3 (Oryza sativa x Oryza glaberrima). Rice may provide grain yields of up to 10-18 t...

Nigeria ‘s Northern Guinea Savanna soils are continually and intensively cultivated, resulting in deterioration of soil quality, depletion of carbon reserves, increased soil erosion and depletion of soil nutrients. Concerning the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable crop production, the effects of land use change on soil carbon...

The analysis is based on instrumental data (temperature and rainfall) from 20 weather stations located between 1961 and 2018 on the territory of the Caucasian region. Mathematical statistics approaches, trend analysis and the rescaled range approach have been used. The warming trend was found to have occurred in all...

A field experiment was conducted at the Department of Rice, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, during the 2017 Kharif season to study the effect of silicon on membrane stability, plant water status and yield of rice genotypes under drought. Maximum membrane stability index (MSI) (93.1) was observed in CB06803...

To enhance its productivity the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru (UASB) is engaged in evolving location specific, farmer need based farm technologies through its Zonal Agricultural...

Presence of G×E interaction reduces the correlation between genotypic and phenotypic parameters and complicates progress of selection. Among several methods proposed for evaluation of the GE interaction, the AMMI and GGE-biplot are the most informative models. The objective of this study was to estimate the G×E interaction in sorghum...

Generally, the nutrition for the crops may be given as basal, foliar and fertigation methods. But, most of the pulse crop is sensitive to flower dropping, which requires foliar application for flower setting and pod formation. To know the facts the field experiments were conducted to study the influence...
