Brassinolides (BRs) are naturally occurring substances, which modulate plant growth and development events have been known to improve the crop tolerance abiotic stresses. In this study, possible role of exogenously applied brassinolide (BR) in alleviating detrimental effects drought maize was evaluated a rain-protected wire-house. Maize subjected at start tasseling for 6 days by withholding water application followed foliar spray BR (0.1 mg l−1) assess changes growth, gas exchange,...
Abstract Plant growth and development is hampered by various environmental stresses including chilling. We investigated the possibility of improving chilling tolerance in hybrid maize glycinebetaine (GB) seed treatments. Maize (Hycorn 8288) seeds were soaked 50, 100 150 mg l −1 (p.p.m.) aerated solution GB for 24 h dried back. Treated untreated sown at 27 °C (optimal temperature) 15 (chilling stress) under controlled conditions. Germination seedling was significantly hindered stress....
Abstract Water‐saving rice production systems are inevitable in the wake of severe water shortage rice‐growing regions world. Mulches can improve productivity, yield and quality through increase retention. Studies were conducted for two consecutive years to assess potential role mulches (plastic straw) improving performance water‐saving comparison with no mulch used conventionally irrigated transplanted rice. this study comprise aerobic intermittent irrigation. These saved (18–27 %) improved...
Abstract Salinity stress is a significant challenge in agricultural production. When soil contains high salts, it can adversely affect plant growth and productivity due to the concentration of soluble salts water. To overcome this issue, foliar applications methyl jasmonate (MJ) gibberellic acid (GA3) be productive amendments. Both potentially improve plant’s attributes flowering, which are imperative improving yield. However, limited literature available on their combined use canola...
Abstract Mitigation strategies based on plant–microbe interactions to increase the performance of plants under water-deficit conditions are well documented. However, little is known about a suitable consortium bacterial inoculants and underlying physiological enzymatic events improve drought tolerance in maize. We performed laboratory pot experiments understand synergistic among plant growth-promoting bacteria alleviate drought-induced damages Initially, ten strains were evaluated for their...
Cadmium contamination in croplands is recognized one of the major threat, seriously affecting soil health and sustainable agriculture around globe. Cd mobility wastewater irrigated soils can be curtailed through eco-friendly cost effective organic amendments (biochars) that eventually minimizes its translocation from to plant. This study explored possible effects various types plants straw biochar as on cadmium (Cd) phytoavailability degraded subsequent accumulation sunflower tissues. The...
Due to a lack of high-quality water, farmers have been compelled use sewage water for irrigation, contaminating agricultural soils with multiple heavy metals. For the remediation contaminated soil, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), pressmud (PM), and iron (III) oxide were used improve growth phytostabilization potential chickpea grown in soil. Contaminated soil was collected from nearby field, receiving factory over last 60 years. Chickpea seeds inoculated metal-tolerant (lead...
Background: Most Penile fracture is classically recognized as a urological emergency. Immediate surgical repair the current standard of care with lower risks complications. Although immediate surgery advocated, timing penile can either be early (less than 24 hours from injury to presentation/surgery) or delayed (greater equal hours). Objective: To determine whether intervention has less postoperative complications late in patients presenting fracture. Methodology: This 15-month prospective...
SUMMARY In this study, we compared the weed emergence, water input, saving, productivity, panicle sterility, yield outputs and economic returns of transplanting with alternate wetting drying (TRAWD) dry direct seeding (DSR) under continuous flooding (TRCF) using three fine-grain rice cultivars: Super Basmati; Basmati 2000; Shaheen Basmati. Higher infestation was recorded in DSR than TRCF TRAWD. Raising as TRAWD had considerable savings but a lower grain TRCF. High sterility primarily...
ABSTRACT: Citrus is an important export commodity, mostly grown on Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of Turkey. Weeds are hidden foes impairing citrus productivity. Limited knowledge weed distribution factors affecting the among major hurdles in successful management. In this study, flora orchards its distributions Mugla province Turkey were determined. Sixty surveyed spring autumn seasons 2010 2011. Data relating to frequency, coverage density species recorded. Soil samples (0-30 cm depth)...
Biological preparation containing live or latent cells of microorganisms their metabolites, which when inoculated to seed, soil roots seedlings, promote plant growth and enhance harvestable yield is termed as biofertilizer. Biofertilizers, generally marketed, contain microbes capable nitrogen (N) -fixation, phosphate solubilization/mineralization, phytohormone production biocontrol. This paper reviews various initiatives in research development the biofertilizers taken by different...
Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for humans, animals and plants, however, its deficiency has been widely reported around the world especially in flooded rice. Adequate amount of Zn considered optimum growth development We hypothesised that management practices like Zn-mineral fertiliser, -compost, -solubilising bacteria would improve availability uptake A series studies were conducted to find out comparative efficacy Zn-enriched composts (Zn-ECs) with solubilising (ZnSB) vs. ZnSO4 improved...
SUMMARY This study was conducted to improve wheat production under vegetative (early season) drought stress. Hydroprimed and osmoprimed (with CaCl 2 ) seeds of cultivars Lasani-2008 (LS-2008) Triple Dwarf-1 (TD-1), were sown in 20 (narrow), 25 (medium), 30 cm (wider) spaced rows. Crop grown well-watered conditions till physiological maturity or subjected stress (50% field capacity) during phase then conditions. Drought caused substantial reduction grain biological yields, related traits,...
Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially harmful metal with significant biological toxicity that adversely affects plant growth and physiological metabolism. Excessive Cd exposure in plants leads to stunted owing its negative impact on functions such as photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, water balance. Potassium-enriched biochar (KBC) Bacillus altitudinis rhizobacteria (RB) can effectively overcome this problem. significantly enhances by improving the soil structure, encouraging retention, enhancing...
Heat stress, next to drought, is one of the major constraints maize growth, development and sustainable yield in tropical sub-tropical regions. Hence, there a dire need explore strategies that alleviate adverse effects heat stress. In this regard, silicon (Si) an important plant nutrient which may support crop alleviating stress-induced damages by modulating defense mechanisms. Si seed inoculation can be ecofriendly mitigation strategy ameliorate stress maize. Yet, date, limited knowledge...
