ABSTRACT: Background: In the literature, little information is available on the effect of drought stress at the seedling stage on durum wheat cultivars and on the best selection drought-responsive indices.
Materials and Methods: Five Tunisian landraces (Biskri, Mahmoudi, Agili, Chili, and Jeneh Khotifa) and three modern varieties (Karim, Nasr, and Rezzak) of durum wheat were evaluated under stressed (10% soil water capacity) and irrigated conditions (50% soil water capacity) in a pot trial. Eleven parameters were measured in seedlings including tiller number, leaf number, fresh root length, fresh shoot length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, chlorophyll index, leaf area, and grain yield. Results: Drought stress affected the......

ABSTRACT:Background: Silicon (Si) has been recently considered as an important micronutrient in alleviating the negative impact of abiotic stress, including salt stress, on several crops especially durum wheat.
Materials and Methods: This study highlights the effect of Si supply (15 mg L-1) on seed priming on germination characteristics of eight durum wheat varieties ('Karim', 'Rezzak', 'Khiar,''Nasr', 'Maali', Salim','INRAT 100' and 'Dhahbi') under salt stress (200 mmol NaCl) compared to control. In addition, a pot experiment was contemplated to assess the foliar supply benefits of this element on root, shoot and leaf physiological attributes of durum wheat, using the same concentration under stressed and unstressed conditions.......

ABSTRACT: Farm and farmers' characteristics associated with digital technology adoption in cow, buffalo and goat farming were assessed using regression analysis. The effects for the implemented and new technologies in farm houses in Jalgaon district slightly differed. The regression analyses showed that the type of production (organic or conventional), the working time (full- or part-time business) and the agricultural area were not related to the adoption of digital technologies in ruminant farming in study area. However, farmers with larger numbers of livestock units were more likely to adopt both types of technologies than farmers keeping fewer livestock. On the other hand, age was negatively and significantly correlated to the adoption of new digital technologies: farmers were less likely to adopt this type of technology with increasing age. The zone, the main farm type, the region, the enterprise and the barn system mattered for adoption........

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the potential factors affecting conception rate in Artificially Inseminated buffaloes under field conditions of Telangana state. The data used in the present investigation were collected from 755 villages in the jurisdiction of 49 Cattle Development Centres (CDC) being operated in 70 tehsils of Jagtial, Karimnagar, Peddapalli, Siddipet, and Sircilla districts. Total 43,954 artificial inseminations were performed on 36,645 buffaloes owned by 24,341 farmers during the years April 2019 to March 2021. The effect of factors such as district, CDC.....

ABSTRACT: Local medicinal culture have had the practice of boiling specific leaves and roots of choice plants whereby the internal healing and growth ingredients are expelled out and consumed to effect healing or as beverage. This was the practice of our fore fathers and the culture is still subsisting. Hibiscus, Lemon, and other plant leaves contain various health and medicinal ingredients pertinent for growth and the cure of many ailments. The goal of employing these plant leaves for beverages and herbal medicine is to assimilate and exploit the full effects of the natural constituents in the leaves. The present system in Nigeria whereby the fresh leaves are firstly dried in the sun or tray driers and boiled to expel the edible constituents exposes the material to direct radiation which diminishes the quality of the said constituents and in some cases degrade them completely. The radiation.....

ABSTRACT: Coban Talun is one of the natural attractions of the waterfall. Accessibility is quite easy and close to the city center. Indonesia's nature consists of various lands and waters that make up the archipelago's ecosystem, which stretches from Sabang to Merauke. These ecosystems have a distinctive ecology such as forest ecosystems. Indonesia's geographical location is at 60LU-110LS and 950-1400BT. As well as between the two continents of Asia and Australia resulted in the existence of forest vegetation zones and different forest types. Based on the results of the analysis.....

ABSTRACT: With the rapid development of agricultural and industrial design, product design based on user needs began to come to people's eyes. As the most commonly used and common mechanical product in agricultural operation, various functions of tractor are constantly improved and perfected. However, most tractors pay more attention to the needs of farmland operation, but do not dig deeply into the needs of drivers. They really design the tractor cab shape centered on users. This paper summarizes the research status of user behavior analysis methods and TRIZ theory, deeply excavates the explicit and implicit needs of drivers, and obtains the design principles of tractor cab modeling design.

ABSTRACT: An experiment was carried out at the Germplasm Centre of Fruit Tree Improvement Project (FTIP), Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensi ngh during the period from June, 2019 to March, 2020 to evaluate the success and survivability as influenced by the stages of rootstock and methods in stone grafting of mango cv. Amrapali. The experiment consisted of five stages of rootstock viz; rootstock containing red and curled leaves (8-10 day old), rootstock containing red and flat leaves (13-15 day old), rootstock containing turn to green leaves (18-20 day old), rootstock containing light green leaves (23-25 day old) at first flush and rootstock containing red and flat leaves at second flush (33-35 day old);......
