Nitrogen(N)management is crucial in cropping systems,and it is often difficult to strike a balance for normal physiology within human consumption limits.The experiment was conducted on 48 genotypes of Brassica juncea ...
Morpho-physiological and genetic studies of salinity are important in understanding the mechanism of plant adaptation to stressful environment.Eighteen rice genotypes collected from Sudan and South Sudan,which were ne...
Endophytic fungi(EF)colonize plant tissues without causing damage;this relationship brings benefits to both,including a greater resistance to environmental stresses,but the influence of genotypes and culture system in...
Cacao(Theobroma cacao L.)produces the cocoa bean,a major foreign exchange earner for most West African countries and many smallholders’enterprise.Ample production of cacao is however limited by declining yield among ...
A study was carried out among the local mango types in Odisha to explore their genetic variations for further utilization in crop improvement, as the genetic diversity serves as a way for the population to adopt the c...
Development of stable crops cultivars adapted to environmental constraints is very important for food security. Safflower, an oilseed crop which tolerates environmental abiotic stresses, is suitable for marginal lands...
Fifteen turmeric genotypes from the germplasm held at National Root Crops Research Institute Umudike, Nigeria, were evaluated during the season of 2012-2013 at four locations-Jos (8.3833°N, 7.1833°E, 1,200 m a.s.l....
