Rice, generally classified as a typical glycophyte, often faces abiotic stresses such excessive drought, high salinity, prolonged submergence, cold, and temperature, which significantly affects growth, development, ultimately, grain yield. Among these negative impacts of factors in rice production, salinity stress is major constraint, followed by drought. There considerable research on the use marker-assisted selection (MAS), genome editing techniques, transgenic studies that have profoundly...

Rice is the most important staple cereal human nutrition and consumed by 75% of global population. plants need a supply essential nutrients for their optimal growth. production has increased tremendously in Malaysia insensitive irrigation use inorganic fertilizers pesticides. However, effect using resulted contamination ground water decreased productivity soil, which turn affected rice long term. The organic manure may help to regain soil health, but that insufficient providing achieve...

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect rice growth, development grain yield. Traditional breeding techniques are insufficient in modern agriculture to meet the growing population’s food needs on a long-term basis. The of DNA markers closely linked target genes or QTLs chromosomes, advanced molecular techniques, such as marker-assisted selection (MAS), have encouraged evolution contemporary genetics breeding, gene pyramiding. Gene pyramiding refers act combining two more from multiple...

It is crucial to assess genetically superior parents when developing novel hybrids. This experiment was conducted find out the diversity of 27 Capsicum annuum mutant lines derived from two varieties.To achieve objective, 23 morpho-physiological and yield traits were recorded through planting seasons. Highly significant differences (p < 0.01) among studied traits. There a strong moderately positive phenotypic association between all other morphological except first bifurcation length, stem...

Background: Worldwide coastal rice growing areas are severely affected by salinity which has become a major constraint to production. Salinity is serious soil problem in rice-growing countries, limiting global Methods: In this study, the seedlings of 21 genotypes were tested against seven different levels concentrations (0.3, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 dSm-1) under hydroponic system glasshouse condition at Field 10, Faculty Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Data on seedling growth...

An experiment was carried out in pots at Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, to evaluate influence different concentrations GA3 on biochemical parameters growth stages order maximize yield summer tomato var.Binatomato-2.The were 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm.They applied three stages, namely root soaking seedlings before transplanting, vegetative flowering stages.The laid a randomized complete block design with four replications.Results indicated that the highest chlorophyll soluble...

Indo-Burmese region was the primary center of eggplant diversity from where crop extended to several secondary origins diversity. In this study, genetic among fifty-six accessions collected three countries assessed using sixteen polymorphic SSR markers determine suitable parents for heterotic hybridization. The estimation population (Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Thailand) varied 0.57 0.74, with Shannon's index value 0.65. mean expected heterozygosity Nei's 0.49, an average PIC 0.83. A...

Eleven morphologically diverse cultivated eggplant accessions were used for hybridization following half diallel mating design to obtain 55 hybrids. Evaluation of hybrids along with the parents was conducted over two locations followed by randomised complete block three replications study gene action and combining ability 15 morphological biochemical traits. The analysis variance indicated highly significant differences among environments interaction genotype environment, except fruit length...

One of the most important challenges to continuously maximizing crop production on limited areas agricultural land is maintaining or enhancing soil fertility. Organic fertilizer application needed replace nutrients recovered by crops from fields in order restore potential soil. The utilization chicken manure as an organic essential improving productivity and cop production. In Malaysia, demand for rice a food source rising tandem with population growth, while paddy capacity becoming...

The study was conducted in Adamawa state, north-eastern Nigeria. One hundred and twenty-six farmers who used animal power for agricultural operations were interviewed. All the bulls draught work. Ninety-six per cent of owned only one pair bulls, while 4% had two pairs. Only ridging, weeding transportation undertaken using bulls. About 81% their animals 18% weeding, 1% them transport. Ridging carried out same implement, mouldboard ridger. 60% these factory-made, rest made by local artisans....

The biocontrol potential of the pteromalid cosmopolitan ectoparasitoid Dinarmus basalis Rondani was investigated on pulse beetle Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), a major pest stored chickpea. parasitoid could easily recognize and parasitize late larger immature stages hosts. order preference fourth instar larva<pre-pupa<third larva < pupa. However, did not first second host larva. parasitism suppressive efficiency consequently changed with change density parasitoid. percentage were 88.46 ±...

The experiment was carried out under sub-tropical condition (24°75´ N latitude and 90°50´ E longitude) to investigate the growth, dry mass production its partitioning into plant parts of three lentil varieties viz. BINA masur1, masur2 masur3. leaf area total plant−1 were superior in masur3 over growth period followed by with same statistical rank. In contrast, masur1 performed inferiority plant−1. Dry seed (HI) significantly greater being highest but economic yield related traits than...

Four rice genotypes Binadhan-8, PBRC-37, NERICA-1 and NERICA-10 were evaluated under four levels of salinity, i.e., control, 6, 9 12 dSm -1 to understand their effects on flag leaf chlorophyll content yield attributes these genotypes.The experiment was established polythene shade avoid rain water in the pot yard Crop Physiology Division, Bangladesh Institute Nuclear Agriculture, Mymensingh.NERICA-1 produced highest grain hill due higher number panicle , length 1000 weight against salinity...

Agro-morphological genetic variation on yield and yield-related traits plays an important role in varietal development eggplant.The present study assessed different variations of 27 eggplant accessions using yieldrelated morphological traits.The experiment was laid out a randomized complete block design with three replications.All collected data nine qualitative eleven quantitative were subjected to analysis variance SAS 9.4 software, while components estimated.All the studied (quantitative)...
