Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariations in Four Genotypes of Lentil under NaCl-Salinity StressM. Sidari, C. Santonoceto, U. Anastasi et al.Four lentil cultivars, Eston (E), Rossa of Castelluccio (RC), Pantelleria (P) and Ustica (U) differing in salt sensitivity, were examined for osmolyte contents and activities of α-amylase, β-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes involved in seed germination, in absence as well as in presence of 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl. The inhibitory effects of NaCl differed, depending on the genotypes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,711 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Role of Sulfuric Acid In Production of Multicomponent Fertilizers From Renewable SourcesHelena Górecka, Henryk Górecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.The paper discusses the possibility of using renewable sources: slaughter wastes and wood ashes in the production of NPK fertilizers. The content of macronutrients, micronutrients and toxic elements in these materials was reported. In the present work, poultry feathers were used as fertilizer source of nitrogen, animal bones as the source of phosphorus and wood ash as the source of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,378 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDurum Wheat Seed Germination Response to Hydrogel Coatings and Moisture under Drought StressMaya Hotta, James Kennedy, Clement Higginbotham, Noreen MorrisTechnologies that can increase crop production while maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds (Triticum durum Desf.) which were coated with synthetic coatings [polyacrylamide (PA)] and novel natural coatings [mixtures of agar/ι-carrageenan (AC)] at different moisture levels. A number of germination performance indicators were measured for each of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 May 2016 · 8,427 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRecovery and Germination of Grass Seeds Ingested by CattleFerhat GökbulakSeeds of bluebunch wheatgrass [Psuedoroegneria spicata (Pursh) A. Love] and Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda Presl.) were fed to Holstein heifers in different amounts to investigate the effects of seed feeding level and seed size on the recovery and germinability of passed seed. Animals were fed 60,000, 30,000,15,000, and 7,500 seeds of each species. Passed seeds were recovered from dungcollected daily … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,756 accessesView PDF Cite
