The coastal regions of Bangladesh host a rich diversity Aman rice landraces, which are crucial for local agriculture but highly vulnerable to natural disasters like cyclones and floods. Specifically, landraces often experience flooding during grain filling maturation stages, sprouts in the field lead severe loss yield. Seed dormancy, delays germination, is key trait escaping sprouting harvesting. However, there lack information on genetic variability existing grown area Bangladesh. This...
Abstract Soil testing is an important diagnostic tool for assessing crop-available soil potassium (K) and hence making appropriate fertilizer recommendation. This study was aimed at correlating grain yield response data to soil-test K extracted with ammonium acetate (NH 4 OAc), cold nitric acid (HNO 3 ), sodium tetraphenylboron (NaTPB) boiling HNO solution, based on 54 field trials conducted during 2011 2015 across 15 counties in Hubei province, China. The specific objectives were establish...
Modern rice production systems need a reliable, easy-to-use, efficient, and environmentally-friendly method to determine plant nitrogen (N) status , predict grain yield, optimize N management. We conducted field experiments the influence of different rates on Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) readings leaves. also performed validations evaluate yield use efficiency under recommended rates. Our results showed that leaf SPAD increased as increased. applied based relationships between at...
The Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, a long-range force that arises between solids and molecules due to quantum fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, has been widely studied solid-state physics. degree of polarization this interaction is influenced by the dielectric properties materials involved, which turn are determined factors such as band-to-band transitions, free carrier contributions, phonon exciton contributions. Gapped metals, new class with unique electronic structures, offer...
In the present study, we evaluated toxicity of selected biorational insecticides (spinosad, thiamethoxam, indoxacarb and imidacloprid) against Pakistani strains Cryptolestes ferrugineus (rusty grain beetle) Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle), tested whether insects' mortality could control fungal contamination in stored grains or not?Bioassays were performed on wheat artificially infested with C. T. along spores Aspergillus flavus A. parasiticus.The results revealed that all proved to be...
Until recently, the only reliable way of doing 12C-13C analysis was using a mass spectrometer. For many developing countries, high initial cost and running costs spectrometer precluded purchase such an instrument. Recent developments in optical systems have provided robust, low-cost option for undertaking 13C analysis. Although these machines were initially developed breath testing Helicobacter pylori, they enormous potential as research tool soil science. The relatively low equipment at...
Traditional solid-state physics has long correlated the optical properties of materials with their electronic structures. However, recent discoveries intrinsic gapped metals have challenged this classical view. Gapped possess distinct from both and insulators, a large concentration free carriers without any intentional doping an internal band gap. This unique structure makes potentially superior to designed by wide gap insulators. Despite promising applications, such as transparent...
Coating materials generally a provide physical barrier to control instant dissolution of the urea fertilizer thereby delaying its consequent reactions in soil.The use zinc salt as coating material causes slow due impact and hence minimizes immediate hydrolysis, ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization enhances N utilization crop production.The current investigation studied Bioactive Zincated on NH losses, yield parameters quality traits maize rice crops grown under field conditions.Treatments included...
Traditionally, the formation of off-stoichiometric compounds is believed to be growth effect rather than intrinsic tendency system. However, here, using example La3Te4, we demonstrate that in n-type gapped metals having a large internal gap between principal band edges and Fermi level inside conduction band, Fermi-level instability can develop, resulting reduction energy for acceptor defects. Specifically, La vacancies La3Te4 form spontaneously produce states remove fraction free carriers...
