Although developing drought tolerance is the major objective of plant breeders, it is hampered by the lack of effective selection criteria. Most plant breeders use the single trait approach in identifying the crop response to drought condition, and little priority is given to the physiological traits. Thus, all the possible traits have not been critically... Continue here
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) on quality attributes of calendula (Calendula officinalis L.). Single factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 7 treatments and 3 replications was carried out. The treatments used were different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 100,150, 200, 250 and 300 ppm). Results... Continue here
Food deterioration with subsequent spoilage has been attributed to the presence of micro-organisms, in which bacteria play a prominent role in this regard, especially in the tropics. However, study of this nature was designed to help boost existing progress made in line of curtailing the activities of this micro-organism. Research studies have shown that spices... Continue here
Use of seedling rootstocks is widespread in Jumla and research on the evaluation of clonal rootstocks for propagation has still not started. Study on the concentration of IBA and wounding effect in cuttings is also deficit. Therefore, this investigation was carried out in the Hi-tech Greenhouse of Kalika nursery in Jumla, Nepal from February to July, 2018 to... Continue here
