Cover crops are the plants which grown to improve soil fertility, prevent erosion, enrichment and protection of soil, enhance nutrient water availability, quality soil. provide several benefits soils used for agriculture production. helpful in increasing sustaining microbial biodiversity soils. We summarized effect cover properties such as moisture content, activities, carbon sequestration, nitrate leaching, water, health. Selection usually depends on primary provided by crops. Other factors...

Genotype × environment interaction (G×E) can lead to differences in the performance of genotypes across environments. A G×E analysis be used analyze stability and value test locations. We developed a SAS program (SASG×E) that calculates univariate statistics, descriptive pooled yearly ANOVA, genotypic location variation, cluster for location, correlations among parameters. Univariate statistics calculated are Wricke's ecovalence ( W i 2 ), Shukla's variance (σ Lin Binns cultivar superiority...

One of the major breeding objectives for watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus [Thumb.] Matsum & Nakai) is improved fruit yield. High yielding genotypes have been identified, so we measured their stability yield and components over diverse environments. The this study were to (i) evaluate years locations, (ii) identify with high yield, (iii) measure correlations among univariate multivariate statistics. A set 40 was evaluated 3 yr (2009, 2010, 2011) eight locations across southern United States...

Genotype x environmental interaction (GxE) can lead to differences in performance of genotypes over environments. GxE analysis be used analyze the stability and value test locations. We developed an Rlanguage program (RGxE) that computes univariate statistics, descriptive pooled ANOVA, genotype F ratio across location environment, cluster for location, correlation with average performance. Univariate statistics calculated are regression slope (bi), deviation from (S2d), Shukla’s variance...

Lycopene is a naturally occurring red carotenoid compound that found in watermelon. has antioxidant properties. content, sugar content and hollowheart resistance are subject to significant genotype×environment interaction (G×E), which makes breeding for these fruit quality traits difficult. The objectives of this study were (i) evaluate the influence years locations on lycopene set watermelon genotypes, (ii) identify genotypes with high stability lycopene, sugar, resistance. A diverse 40 was...

The elemental composition of compost products was determined via inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP) and x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Correlations between the two methodologies were evaluated on individual basis to determine if XRF provides results comparable ICP. Results showed that good correlation ICP certain EPA-regulated metals such as As, Cu, Zn. provided better detection elements at low levels (<5 mg kg−1) in composted tested. While cannot achieve...

Objectives: The present study is aimed at estimating patient flow dynamic parameters and requirement for hospital beds. Second, the effects of age gender on were evaluated. Patients Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 987 COVID-19 patients enrolled from SMS Medical College, Jaipur (Rajasthan, India). survival analysis was carried out February 29 through May 19, 2020, two hazards: Hazard 1 discharge, 2 death. starting point hazards considered to be admission. curves estimated...

In a crop breeding program, multiple‐location trials can be used to define target regions and mega‐environments that, in turn, will help the breeder develop stable cultivars. addition, locations chosen that are efficient for distinguishing among cultivars (genotypes) good representatives of regions. The objectives this study were identify test both discriminating representative Watermelon [ Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. &amp; Nakai] fruit yield components evaluated 3 yr eight using...

Background. With coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), patients with diabetes mellitus are dealing two pandemics and at a higher risk of mortality. The present study was undertaken to evaluate interactions between hyperglycemia clotting factors in COVID-19 patients. Methods. In this retrospective observational study, 53 real-time RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 positive cases 40 70 years age, representing both sexes, were enrolled the from SMS Medical College, Jaipur (Rajasthan, India). Based on their...

Understanding the natural mating behavior (self- or cross-pollination) in watermelon is important to design of a suitable breeding strategy. The objective this study was measure rate self- and cross-pollination [ Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. &amp; Nakai] using dominant gene Sp (Spotted leaves fruit) as marker. experiment consisted two studies split plot randomized complete block with 3 years (2009 2011) four locations (Clinton, Kinston, Oxford, Lewiston, NC). For intercrossing study,...

Abstract Increased light interception (LI), along with concomitant increases in crop growth rate (CGR), is the main factor explaining how cultural factors such as row spacing, plant population, and planting date affect soybean yield. Leaf area index (LAI), LI, CGR are interrelated a “virtuous spiral” where increased LAI leads to greater LI resulting higher more total dry matter per (TDM). This LAI, thus accelerating entire physiological process level. A understanding of this complex dynamic...

Abstract The forecasting of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) dynamics is a centerpiece in evidence based disease management. Numerous approaches that use mathematical modeling have been used to predict the outcome pandemic, including data driven models, empirical and hybrid models. This study was aimed at prediction COVID-19 evolution India using model on autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Retrieving real time from Johns Hopkins dashboard 11 Mar 2020 25 Jun (N = 107 points)...

Abstract Reliable yield performance is important in cucumber because seed companies prefer to market cultivars adapted multiple rather than single regions of the U.S. Also, growers benefit by using a cultivar that performs well many environments. Future also important. The objectives study were (i) evaluate genotypes over successive years and different locations, (ii) identify with high stability for yield. A diverse set 22 pickling was evaluated 3 (1986, 1987 1988) 7 locations across United...
