Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEucalyptus Gomphocephala: Morphological Characterization and Seed Germination under Influence of Contaminated SoilOuled Seghaier Wided, Abbes Chaabane, Hasnaoui BrahimTo study the impact of soil pollution on plant growth, our work focused on soil polluted by heavy metals. This soil was taken from the municipal landfill of Jendouba (North of Tunisia). We have undertaken to study the morphological behavior of a forest specie “Eucalyptus gomphocephala”. Two treatments are chosen (substrate containing 100% and 50% of soil taken from municipal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of MgCl2 on Germination, Growth and Biomass Allocation of the Radish CV. "Cherry Belle"William Brandenburg, Catherine KleierProblem statement: To determine the effect of MgCl2 on radish (Raphanus sativus), plants were grown in controlled environmental growth chambers and given one of three watering treatments; 0.01, 0.1 and 0 M (control) MgCl2. Approach: At high concentrations (0.1 M), MgCl2 was toxic resulting in very low (44%) germination rates and the subsequent death of all but three undersized plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelations between Growth and Yield Parameters of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) under the Influence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum in Kipushi (The Democratic Republic of Congo)Ben Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi, Laurent Kidinda Kidinda, Germain Nyembo Kasendue et al.This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between different agronomic parameters and their contribution to soybean performance under Bradyrhizobium japonicum influence. The experiment was carried out at Kanyameshi (Kipushi), following a Split Plot design, with three strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (GraphExTM, Bradyrhizobium sp and Sojapak ® 50) and four soybean varieties (TGX 1740-7F: V1, PAN 1867: V2, TGX 1880-3E: V3 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 17 Aug 2019 · 8,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Magnesium on Photosynthetic Characteristics and Growth Effects of Sugarcane at Seedling StageChao Zheng, Yong-Xiang Huang, Ke-Xing LiuIn this study, the effects of different concentrations of magnesium on photosynthetic characteristics and growth of sugarcane cultivars Roc22 and YT00-236 at seedling stage were investigated by combined cultivation of sand culture with nutrient solution. The results showed that under the stress of low magnesium, the synthesis and photosynthesis of chlorophyll are blocked with significantly decreased biomass accumulation, increased root-shoot … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2019 · 8,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNodulation and Biomass Yield Response of Cowpea to Row Spacing and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Lukman YussifPhosphorus fertilizer application and planting distance play a major role in the production of shoot, root and nodule dry biomass of cowpea. However, phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient in soils in Ghana. Selection of cowpea varieties that produce good biomass yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus response efficiency can be a low input approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Salt Stress on Ion Balance at Vegetative Stage in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)Kirill V. Azarin, Andrey V. Alabushev, Alexander V. Usatov et al.Rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were subjected to NaCl stress within 35 days. The shoot dry weight, root dry weight, total survival percentage and contents of inorganic ions in dry samples of stressed plants were measured to identify the physiological adaptive mechanisms by which rice plants at vegetative stage tolerate salt stresses. Laboratory testing of the 10 rice cultivars showed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPACT OF THE POLYMER COATING NUTRISPHERE™ IN INCREASING NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY AND CORN YIELDTimothy A. Smith, Ronnie W. Heiniger, Pawel WiatrakCurrently, it is estimated that 50 to 60% of the N applied fertilizer is actually utilized by the crop with the remaining N lost through leaching or denitrification. A three year study was conducted at eight locations in North Carolina to examine the impact of Nutrisphere™ on corn yield, optimum N rate, maximum yield, tissue N concentration, plant biomass and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2013 · 8,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Ceres-Wheat for Prediction of Wheat Varieties in Irrigation and Terminal Drought StressFarzad Paknejad, Fatemeh Majidi Fakhr, Seied Mehdi MirtaheriProblem statement: Crop growth models have many potential uses for crop managements. Approach: In order to evaluation of CERES-Wheat model on five varieties of winter wheat in Karaj weather condition in Full Irrigation (FI) and Stop Irrigation (SI) after flowering until final growth stage an experiment conducted in shape of split plot in based on randomize complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgro-Process Intensification through Synthetic Rhizosphere Media for Nitrogen Fixation and Yield Enhancement in PlantsG. Akay, D. R. BurkeProblem statement: In order to combat global warming and the emerging Food, Energy and Water shortages (FEWs), several approaches have been adopted, including genetic engineering and farming practices. Biomass based energy technology will further stress food and water resources and hence novel holistic approaches to FEWs should be designed. Approach: A novel technique (Agro-Process Intensification, A-PI) which simultaneously addresses FEWs … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2012 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite
