Abstract Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is famous for its oil quality and unique fatty acid pattern. Growth and yield of crops reduced under water deficit conditions. Environmental threat such as drought or water deficit condition is the emerging problem which creates the negative impact on the growth of plants. Based upon the current situation a pot study was performed in rain out-shelter to explore the effect of different plant densities (15, 10 and 5 plants per pot) on growth and seed yield of two camelina genotypes under normal (100% WHC) and water deficit (60% WHC) conditions by… More >

Abstract The objective of this work was to analyze the impact of a vermicompost treatment on anatomical and physiological modifications related to assimilate partitioning and growth in lettuce seedlings. The results showed that vermicompost increased growth, which was most likely due to an increased activity of the ground meristem of the leaf blade. A greater height and number of chlorenchyma layers were observed in the leaf blade. This was related to an increase in the photosynthetic activity, expressed by an increase in the net assimilation rate. Vermicompost also showed an effect at the procambium level, producing More >

Abstract The development of three cotton varieties was evaluated through the growth analysis technique. Study varieties were two of normal leaf (Cian Precoz and NuCotton 35B) and the other of okra leaf (Fiber Max 832). Vegetative and reproductive samplings effected at different days after planting (dap) allowed us to determine the (1) growth dynamics, (2) production efficiency and (3) the biomass distribution of the three cotton varieties. Seeding was conducted following the production system of narrow rows (0.76m, between rows; 0.20m between plants) to obtain a plant density of 65500 plants/ha. Varieties were distributed in a… More >
