Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Mineral Fertilizers and Methods of Basic Tillage on the Yield and Oil Content of SunflowerBeybit Nasiyev, Aida DukeyevaThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of mineral fertilizers and methods of basic tillage on the yield and oil content of sunflowers in the north of Kazakhstan. The experiment was conducted in the agricultural experimental Station Zarechnoye limited liability partnership with southern thin chernozem soils. Records and observations of the growth and development of sunflowers were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 23 May 2023 · 5,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurum 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 · 8,423 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,033 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdaptation and Use of the Gangaria Seed Drill for the Improvement of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Cultivation in Niger: Case of the Maradi and Zinder RegionsAbdoulahi Mamane, Arifa Warouma et al.In Niger, peanut cultivation plays a significant role in food security and improving the incomes of rural households, particularly in the Maradi and Zinder regions. However, this crop remains hampered by low mechanization, the use of traditional tools, and inefficient fertilization, resulting in consistently low yields of around 600 to 800 kg/ha. Faced with these constraints, this study aims to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2026 · 2,832 accessesView PDF Cite
