This study examined the influence of pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics and evaluated its suitability for carbon capture energy production. Biochar was produced from corn stover using slow at 300, 400 500°C 2 hrs holding time. The experimental biochars were characterized by elemental analysis, BET, FTIR, TGA/DTA, NMR (C-13). Higher heating value (HHV) feedstock measured bomb calorimeter. Results show that content increased 45.5% to 64.5%, with increasing temperatures. A...
Drought is considered as one of the major limiting factors affecting growth and productivity crop plants. It severely affects morphological physiological activities plants hampers seed germination, root proliferation, biomass accumulation final yield field crops. stress disrupts biosynthesis chlorophyll contents, carotene decreases photosynthesis in gradually reduces CO2 assimilation rates owing to decrease stomatal conductance. In addition, drought cell membrane stability water relations a...
Seed priming with sorghum water extract (SWE) enhances crop tolerance to salinity stress; however, the application of SWE under for camelina has not been documented so far. This study evaluated potential role seed in improving salt stress camelina. Primed (with 5% and distilled water-hydropriming) nonprimed seeds were sown control (no salt) (10 dS m−1) conditions. Salinity reduced camelina’s emergence growth, while improved growth Under stress, enhanced percentage (96.98%), increased root...
Abstract Soil nutrient contents and organic carbon (C) stability are key indicators for restoration of degraded grassland. However, the effects long‐term active extremely grassland on soil parameters have been equivocal. The aims this study were to evaluate impact alpine on: (a) matter (SOM) mineralization; (b) importance biotic factors temperature sensitivity ( Q 10 ) SOM mineralization. Soils sampled from intact, restored grasslands at altitudes ranging between 3,900 4,200 m Tibetan...
Shiitake mushrooms are renowned for their popularity and robust nutritional value, susceptible to spoilage due inherent biodegradability. Nevertheless, because of lack protection, these have a short shelf life. Throughout the post-harvest phase, experience persistent decline in quality. This is evidenced by changes such as discoloration, reduced moisture content, texture changes, an increase microbial count, depletion nutrients flavor. Ensuring postharvest quality preservation prolonging...

Dry direct-seeded rice has been shown to save irrigation water and labor. Nonetheless, management in dry received very little attention. Here, we examined the potential of different regimes: aerobic (AR), alternate wetting drying (AWD) continuous flooding (CF) cultivation on two cultivars (Pride-1 (hybrid indica) NB-1 (inbred indica)). Growth, yield attributes, grain yield, total input, productivity benefit cost ratio were measured. Our results showed that AR saved 11.22 28.40%, 5.72 32.98%...
The plant Caralluma edulis is traditionally used against diabetes and inflammatory conditions in Pakistan. This study was designed to provide scientific validation of the traditional use edulis. Phytochemicals were extracted from by different solvents (distilled water, methanol, ethanol, acetone) using Soxhlet’s extraction method. Bioactive compounds detected gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). vitro anti-inflammatory activities (albumin denaturation, membrane stabilization,...
The high pace of increasing population along with the diminishing effects global warming are putting immense pressure on agriculture system in terms food security. Great concerns regarding yield enhancement have emerged for crops feeding livestock and dairy industry. development high-yielding dual-purpose fodder varieties is a concurrent demand breeding programs designed grain improvement. Sorghum as being highly nutritious low-input crop provides good prospects Because this, this work was...
Changing climatic conditions, especially high temperatures and droughts are one of the major factors hindering sustainable maize production in maize-growing areas world. The current study was designed to determine association between different morphological, physiological, biochemical, kernel quality-related traits hybrids under water-deficient conditions. experiment material comprised seven indigenously developed from Maize Millets Research Institute, Yusafwala-Sahiwal (YH-5482, YH-5427,...
