Two soybean cultivars (Glycine maxima (L) Merr.) differing in maturity period, leaf size and stem height were sown five times at fortnight intervals during the rainy season at four intra—row spacings under supplementary ...

Growth of Calotropis procera was analysed by distribution of dry weight throughout the plant at various stages in growth. Dry biomass, leaf area index, specific leaf area, leaf weight ratio, leaf area ratio, net assimilation ...

A side-effect of plant surgery was an interference with apical dominance. From the results of three experiments involving plant surgery, decapitation and the usage of "C-IAA, it appeared that the movement of the apically ...

Eucalyptus microtheca has proved to be a success on the heavy clay soils of the Gezira. This tree species not only seeds regularly and prolifically during the summer, but also, though rarely, seeds during the winter. The ...

Plant population studies in arid regions are very sparse and not well documented. A prerequisite in growing a successful sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) crop is to obtain an adequate plant population. The response ...

Surgery was used to investigate bidirectional movement in a single vascular bundle of Vicia faba L. In one experiment it was found that radiocarbon had moved upwards and downwards via one isolated bundle when leaf one and ...

The influence of the number of seeds per clump upon germination of oryza sativa L., Gossypium hirsutum L., Brachiaria eruciformis (Sm.) Griseb, Dinbera retroflexa (Vahl) Panz. and Echinochloa colonum (L.) Link was investigated ...

Eight soil pcdons representing a range of aridisols, vertisols and recent alluvium were studied for various chemical and physical properties. Generally the soils were clayey except the recent alluvium which was loamy but ...

Plants of the woody perennial Calotropis procera (Asclepediaceae) were grown from seed to seed-set in an open field. Smith's slope allocation and fractional-allocation or percentage methods were used to study dry matter ...

The germination of Panicum turgidum seeds was tested under different conditions. They showed ability to germinate under a range of temperatures from 25-42°C. The maximum percentage of germination was 45%, at 30°C. The ...
