Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction Model of Leaf Area in Soybean (Glycine max L.)Mohammad Nabi Ilkaee, Farzad Paknejad, Mohsen Zavareh et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Measure of leaf area by means of leaf area Meter is very expensive and difficult. Hence obtain of one simple model for calculate of leaf area in soybean (Glycine Max L.) is very necessary. Approach: In order to develop a suitable simple model for calculation of leaf area by means of leaf length and width, a Randomized … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,674 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,623 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage. The process of photosynthesis is the only non … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,021 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Fertilization and Clipping of Phlomis fruticosa L. on a Phryganic Ecosystem: The Case of Thesprotia, Northwest GreeceCh. Roukos, K. Papanikolaou, E. Nikolaou et al.This study examined the effectiveness of various shrub control treatments (N+P fertilization, clipping of Phlomis fruticosa and clipping combined with N+P fertilization), to reduce shrub cover and encourage the growth of palatable herbaceous vegetation. Dry matter production and Crude Protein (CP) content of palatable herbaceous vegetation were determined annually from 2004 to 2006. Experimental plots received rains of 691.7, 532.9 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Plant Density on Flowering Date, Yield and Quality Attribute of Bush Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) under Center Pivot Irrigation SystemSamih AbubakerThis research evaluates six different planting densities (10∗30, 20∗30, 30∗30, 40∗30, 50∗30, 60∗30) of bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.), Bronco variety and their impacts on yield, earliness and quality attributes using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) under central pivot irrigation system in the southern part of Jordan during 2007 growing season. Although, the highest planting density (10∗30 cm) gave the highest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,762 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring of the Saiga Population: Balancing Nature and AgricultureZhanbolat Ibraibekov, Saule Atshabarova, Ermek Gabdullin et al.The rapid recovery of the Saiga population (Saiga tatarica) in Kazakhstan represents a significant conservation success; however, it has simultaneously generated complex ecological and socio-economic challenges in steppe ecosystems. This study evaluates the relationships between Saiga population density and pasture ecosystem condition and identifies ecological thresholds relevant to balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable agricultural land use. The research is based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptation 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 · 2,843 accessesView PDF Cite
