Growing crops using poor quality Later can result in poor germination and seedling survival. Low germination rates of various crops in the Bahamas result from the high salinity of the irrigation water. This study investigated the effects of using varying levels of sea water on germination and imbibition rates of lupine (Lupinus albus) seeds. In separate completely randomized design experiments, 100 lupine seeds were placed in conical flasks and either de ionized distilled water (DDW). 100%, 75%, 50% or 25% sea water added to each flask. Seeds ware removed from each flask every hour for the first 8 hours and every six hours thereafter for 48 hours. lmbibition rate is expressed as mg/ghr using the formula: (original weight - weight at y hr) × 1000)/(original weight x y hrs). Germination of seeds was measured beginning 3 days after imbibition began and the experiments were terminated after 10 days. The highest rate of imbibition (178.8 mg/g/hr) was recorded for lupine seeds placed in 25% sea water and the lowest of 152.8 mg/g/hr for seeds placed in 100% sea water after two hours. Germination ranged between 49% (100% sea water) to 94.7% for seeds placed in DDW. It would appear that if lupine seeds were primed with 25% sea water (approximately 150 ppm, NaCI) there would be no significant reduction in either the imbibition or the germination rates.

<p>This study was conducted to determine the effects of inorganic selenium (sodium selenite) and organic selenium (selenomethionine) supplementation on growth and viability of juvenile humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis). The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design with eight treatments and three replications. The treatment being tested was source and dosages of selenium ie., inorganic selenium (sodium selenite) supplementation with dosages of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg Se/kg diet and organic selenium (selenomethionine) with dosages of 1, 2, and 4 mg Se/kg diet. Another treatment was unsupplemented selenium. Juveniles humpback grouper at an initial average length of 6,39±0,41 cm and body weight of 4,49±0,65 g were reared in 90×40×35 cm3 aquaria and fed artificial diet (pellet) two times daily (08.00 and 16.00) at satiation. Fishes were reared for 40 days at a stocking density of 12 fish per aquarium on sea water with salinity of 30–31 ppt and temperature of 28–29 °C. The results of this study showed that the source of selenium supplementation (inorganic or organic) affected growth performance, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activity, and blood profiles of the experimental fish. Generally, it was found that selenomethionine supplementation resulted in better fish performance than sodium selenite. In sodium selenite supplementation, survival declined with the increased dosages of Se in the diet, and the supplementation at dosage of 0,5 mg Se/kg diet showed a toxic effects. Histopatological test showed that there were damage in livers, kidneys, and intestines of fish supplemented with sodium selenite from 0.5 to 4 mg Se/kg diet. On the contrary, supplementation of selenomethionine up to 4 mg Se/kg did not show any signs of toxicity and the survival was on 86.11 to 97.22%. Feed efficiency, protein retention, lipid retention, and Se retention indicated that a dosage of 4 mg Se/kg selenomethionine supplementation was the best dosage.</p><p>Keywords: selenium, viability, growth, Cromileptes altivelis, humpback grouper</p>

Gladiolus (Gladiolus L. hybrids) is a bulbous cut flower, which produces charming spikes on elongated stems. A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of various exotic gladiolus cultivars, viz. ‘Bangladesh’, ‘Essential’, ‘Nova Zambla’ and ‘White Prosperity’ under various irrigation regimes during 2017-2018. Corms were imported from Stoop Flower Bulbs, Holland, transported to laboratory from cold store, and acclimatized at ambient temperature for a week before sowing. Experiment was set up in a polyhouse in plastic crates according to completely randomized design with three replications each having 18 corms planted in a crate. Five irrigation regimes, viz. 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days interval, were adopted for all the cultivars under study. Irrigation water was applied until saturation of the soil. Results depicted that gladiolus cultivars ‘Essential’ and ‘Nova Zambla’ produced early flowering with greater stem length, stem fresh and dry weights, leaf area, spike length and number of florets. Best quality flowers were obtained when plants were irrigated at 10 days interval, followed by 15 and 20 days interval, while poor quality stems were produced when plants were irrigated at 5 or 25 days interval, which was either over or under irrigation, respectively. In conclusion, gladiolus cultivars grown at 10 and 15 days irrigation intervals from December to March produced best quality stems and irrigation at 10-15 days interval can be considered as optimal for gladiolus production.

Shallot variety of Bima Brebes is a shallot variety that is widely cultivated by farmers in Indonesia because it is easy to grow and adapt to the local environment. However, in reality many farmers use the previous harvest for the next planting seed so that the yields obtained will be of poor quality. This study aims to determine the effect of giving nitrogen through corona incandescent plasma discharge and goat fertilizer on the growth of shallots so that it can improve the quality of onion seedlings. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial pattern using a corona incandescent plasma discharge factor and goat manure. The results showed an interaction between the two factors that can be seen from the plant height parameters which showed significant results in the treatment of plant seeds that were plasma radiation for 30 minutes and the planting media were given goat manure 65 g. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the administration of corona incandescent plasma discharge and goat manure on the cultivation of shallots varieties of Bima Brebes was able to accelerate the time of sprouting by 200.3% and increase the growth of onion plants.

The objective of the research was to find out the effect of repeating cycle of feed deprivation followed by fixed refeeding on the food consumption and feed efficiency of grouper Cromileptes altivelis. The experimental fish weight was 10.86 1.42 gram. The treatments included: (P1) group received repeating cycles of 1 day food deprivation followed by 2 days refeeding in 14 cycles, (P2) group received repeating cycle of 1 day food deprivation followed by 3 days refeeding in 10 cycles, (P3) group received repeating cycle of 1 day food deprivation followed by alternating 2 and 3 days refeeding in 12 cycles and, (K) group fed daily as control. Each treatment was assigned to 3 aquaria containing 150 l recirculated sea water according to completely randomized design. Twenty individuals were stocked in each aquaria. The fishes were fed with floating pellet twice a day at 09.00 and 15.00 to satiation for four weeks. Water quality was monitored. The results showed that repeating cycle of food deprivation followed by fixed refeeding affected food consumption and feed efficiency in grouper Cromileptes altivelis. Food consumption of fishes from treatment groups showed lower food consumption than control, but they showed higher daily food consumption and feed efficiency. This phenomenon could be applied in practical feeding management for application to mariculture.

Abstract The State of Parana is one of the Brazilian regions with the highest incidence of extraction of bromeliads, among the factors for the occurrence of this situation, they highlight a great demand for this species as ornamental flowers and the easy access to forests, few cultivation ponds and difficulties for farmers in cultivation processes, especially in the early stages of cultivation. The species Aechmea gamosepala Wittmack stands out among the species of this group of ornamental plants (Bromeliaceae) with strong commercial appeal and consequently of extraction. Given this context, a study was carried out to evaluate the germination and survival of seeds of the species. Five alternative types of substrates easily accessible to farmers were tested: coconut husk fiber, Plantmax®, earthworm humus, humidified Pinnus husk and sieved agricultural land. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 4 replications and 25 seeds per experimental unit at room temperature in a greenhouse, with sprinkler irrigation for a period of 90 days. The mean time for the onset of germination was 6.95 days, averaging 74.8% at the peak of germination, but there were no significant statistical differences between the treatments. For the seedling survival, humidified Pinnus husk substrates (70.8%) and coconut fiber house (80.4%) proved to be the best substrates for Aechmea gamosepala Wittmack.
