Priming of prosopis cineraria (L.) druce and acacia tortilis (forssk) seeds with fulvic acid extracted from compost to improve germination and seedlin
Composting of waste plant materials and its use in agriculture and landscape sites is an environmental friendly way of reducing waste material and conserving the environment. In this perspectives a survey has been performed at the Dubai based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture to compost the plants based waste material (lawn cuttings-grass) to compost. The material was inoculated with ...

Salinity effects on seed germination and plant growth of guar
The potential of guar [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] as a feasible crop for saline soils was tested in this study by evaluating seed germination of 42 accessions of guar in sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The seeds were germinated in 200 mM NaCl or double-distilled water (control). There were significant differences in salt tolerance among the accessions tested. Percentages of seeds ...

Salinity effects on seed germination and vegetative growth of greens-type poa annua relative to other cool-season turfgrass species
Seed germination and vegetative growth studies were conducted to determine relative salinity tolerance of greens-type Poa annua L. compared with other cool-season turfgrass species. Effects of increasing salinity stress on final germination percentage (FGP), germination rate (GR), clipping yield dry weight (CYD), verdure dry weight (VD), root dry weight (RD), and the longest root length (LRL) ...

Evaluation of anaerobic digestate as a substrate for vermicomposting
Vermicomposting is an established process to convert organic wastes into vermicastings suitable for plant growth. This research investigated the vermicomposting of anaerobic digestate with four different ratios of sawdust as a bulking material, for 75 days. The optimum proportion of anaerobic digestate to sawdust was identified as 70:30 based on worm growth and reproduction. Vermicomposting ...

Inhibition of seed germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum L. by industrial wastewaters
The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of different concentrations of wastewaters treated with Pseudomonas putida on various growth indices of durum wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds. Significant decreases in terms of root and leaf growth were observed. The phytotoxicity of textile wastewater was more pronounced on initiation times, germination percentages, root and leaf ...

Application of soil sensor for agriculture
Background: A moisture sensor that measures the current moisture content of the soil. Sensors into irrigation sensors help to help to facilitate more efficient distribution of water supplies. According to technical classification, soil sensors are divided into the following categories: Ground – installed below the ground to monitor the root zone; Aerial – Using drones to detect data, ...

How seed-placed fertilizer may hurt your crops if not applied carefully and attentively
Placing fertilizer within the seed row has been long-standing practice for many farmers across the prairies. Having those nutrients close to the seed makes it easily accessible by the plant, and can help the crop out of the ground and into the sun. Potash fertilizers and other nutrients, such as phosphate, are immobile fertilizers, meaning they don’t travel more than a half-inch through ...
