Heat stress seriously affects the production of cool-season food legume crops such as garden peas. Seed priming is a widely used technique that increases germination and improves plant growth development, resulting in better field performance higher yield crops. In current study, we investigated three seed treatments—hydropriming (dH2O), osmopriming (2.2% w/v CaCl2), hormopriming (50 mg L−1 salicylic acid—SA)—and their effect on germination, initial seedling physiological traits two novel...

In order for the production of a plant species to take significant place in crop structure, addition favorable agro-ecological conditions, there must be national strategy. After state implemented “action” plan, processing sector and breeding, i.e. development high-yielding domestic varieties, with good adaptability stability, intensified. This implied that Serbia would become only country Europe produces enough soybeans its own needs. The aim research is influence agro-climatic conditions on...

Nanopriming is a newly developed seed technology that improves germination, initial plant growth, and crop yield by enabling plants to withstand variety of abiotic stresses. The objective this study was evaluate the effectiveness comprehensive metal-based (Co, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mo, Se) nanopriming as compared hydro- non-primed seeds three different pea cultivars in germination test. Seed priming with nanoparticles (NPs) improved field quality via significant increase energy (cv. E-244), final...

Products of metabolism that are directly involved in growth, development and reproduction also secondary products were studied 16 natural populations three species the genus Trifolium (T. repens – four populations, T. alpestre pannonicum nine populations), collected from central Balkans region, i.e. territory Serbia. Statistical analysis showed presence variability all test material. The best quality dry matter, estimated by ratio crude protein fiber, was achieved white clover. In this...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is an important legume that also known as a rich source of isoflavones, which are compounds with mild estrogenic activity. Therefore, this plant often used raw material in the production dietary supplements recommended menopause. Many factors can influence isoflavone content, but those genetically related considered to be most important. aim study was evaluate phytochemical profile different parts 30 red genotypes grouped according ploidy and country seed...

Alfalfa is a perennial crop that provides higher yield of proteins per unit area than any field crop, which makes it highly desirable for the production hay and feed domestic animals (especially ruminants). The objective this study was to determine dry matter chemical composition in whole plant, leaves stems five divergent alfalfa cultivars. Variations were found contents proteins, hemicellulose, NDF, ADF, ADL, cellulose, minerals depending on genotype plant part. Significant differences...

Microplastics (MPs), chlorinated phenols (CPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and halogenated benzenes (HBs) are pollutants that widely present in freshwater systems. As alternatives to conventional plastics, bioplastics receiving a lot of attention, but there limited data on their impact pollutant behavior. This work therefore investigated the pH sorption CPs, PAHs HBs, as some toxic highly persistent pollutants, seven different plastics using kinetic isotherm studies. The water...

Background: In order to reduce the use of synthetic and chemical agents in agriculture, more research is turning ecological, environmentally friendly methods. Plant aqueous extracts are products that can be a significant source various elements, depending on type quality soil which plant species from solution prepared grown. Methods: The aim this study was investigate influence different yield parameters soybean seeds (Glycine max L.). Aqueous of: nettle, nettle+comfrey, banana, banana peel,...

Background: Pea (Pisum sativum L.) provides one of the best solutions for lack plant-based protein. The different agroecological conditions and difference in seed color type can affect protein content, composition agronomic traits. Methods: A two-year trial on two European sites was done using an augmented block design. Agronomic traits content were determined each plot. Pearson’s correlation coefficients multivariate analysis to analyze structure pea Electrophoresis investigate variations...

Fresh, dried or preserved, forage legumes are highly suitable for use as roughage in the animal diet because of their richness protein, vitamins, and mineral matter. Previous work on breeding improved quality has mostly focused increasing crude protein content these crops. Another major parameter legume quality, especially from point view ruminant nutrition, is vitro digestibility dry Values both parameters decrease with age all due to a reduced leat stem ratio lignification. The after...

We analysed the grain yield and quality in common vetch accessions to assess their breeding potential. A small-plot trial was carried out 2005 2006 at experimental field of Institute Field Vegetable Crops Rimski Šančevi. 14 accessions, diverse geographic origin status, from Novi Sad Vicia collection were tested. The highest accession VIC 006 (2205 kg ha−1), while dry matter crude protein Topaze (329 g kg−1). Significant positive correlations found between time sowing harvest content (rgxy =...
