Intermittent Irrigation Enhances Morphological and Physiological Efficiency of Rice Plants
Abstract The response of rice roots and shoots and their causal relationships affecting yield under varying soil water condition are important related subjects of research. To understand the mechanism of response, studies were conducted using four water treatments: a) intermittent flooding...

Porvaz, Pavol; Tóth, Štefan; Marcin, Andrej
Abstract A field trial with Miscanthus sinensis Anderss. was performed in Vysoká nad Uhom (average yearly temperature: 9.0°C, yearly precipitation: 584 mm) on Haplic fluvisol (WRB 2006) during 2006-2009. The average dry matter (DM) yield of the above- ground phytomass was 25.63 t/ha/year...
Effect of Different Doses of Nutrients on Changes of Soil Organic Matter in Rendzic Leptosol
Šimanský, Vladimír; Tobiašová, Erika
Abstract The effect of different doses of NPK fertilizer on the changes in quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in Rendzic Leptosol was evaluated. Soil samples were taken from three treatments of different fertilization: (1) control - without fertilization, (2) NPK 1 - doses of NPK...
Pseudomonas as a Prospective Candidate For Minimization in use of Chemical Pesticides or their Gradual Replacement with Biocontrol Agents on Agricultural Fields
Sharma, Poornima
Abstract Isolates of Pseudomonas species obtained from rhizosphere, rhizoplane and endophytic habitats of various plants were tested for their antagonistic activity against plant pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum isolated from the roots of a diseased pea plant. Pseudomonas isolate P5 showed best...
