An experiment was conducted at the research field of the Department of Agricultural Botany, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali under the Agro-ecological zone-13 (AEZ-13) during the period from November 2012 to February 2013. The aim of the study was to identify the most effective irrigation level for obtaining the better growth and higher yield performance of BARI Gom-25 that are suitable to cultivate under  coastal region of Patuakhali, Bangladesh. So, the present study was consists of five irrigations levels including control viz. control or no irrigation (T0), one irrigation at 25 DAS (T1), two irrigations at 25 and 40 DAS (T2), three irrigations at 25, 40 and 55 DAS (T3)  and four irrigations at 25, 40, 55 and 70 DAS (T4). The seeds of BARI Gom-25 were collected from the BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur on 22 November, 2012. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized block design (RCBD) with four replications and analysis was done by the MSTAT-C package program where means were separated by DMRT at 5% level of probability. Data were recorded on various growth and yield attributing traits. The plot size was 5 m2 (2.5 × 2.0 m) where row to row and seed to seed distances were 20 and 10 cm respectively. Data were collected on various morpho-physiological growth, yield and yield attributing traits. Results obtained from the present study, whole characters of the study were significant at 5% by the moisture (irrigation) levels where three irrigations given at 25, 40 and 55 DAS had most effective than that of other moisture levels and no irrigation. From the results investigation, it was found that the tallest plant (76.86 cm), maximum requiring days to anthesis (61.00 days), maturity (109.0 days) and maximum number of effective tillers (5.00 hill-1),the highest grain growth (3.11g at 36 DAA) and grains (44.00 spike-1) were obtained with three irrigation (T3) levels. Similarly, T3 further showed the greater performance on spike length (17.28 cm), 1000-seed weight (50.16 g), grain (4.16 t ha-1), straw (5.89 t ha-1) and biological yield (10.05 t ha-1) as well as the higher harvest index (41.39%). Investigated above whole characters were produced lower performances under no moisture (irrigation) treatments. These results indicated that irrigation at three times (T3) would be most advantageous irrigation levels for wheat production under the studied non saline ecosystem of coastal region.Progressive Agriculture 29 (2): 99-106, 2018

Abstract A field experiment was carried out at winter season of 2020-2021 in Babylon Governorate, region of Bernon, at 8 km north-east of Hilla town between 44.27 ° north and 36.32 ° east latitude, to study the effect of planting distance and Humic acid on growth, yield and antioxidant activity of petals and seeds of the safflower, the treatments were distributed in a factorial experiment with randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replicates, the first factor was the distance between plants (10, 15 and 20 cm) and second was spraying Humic acid at concentrations (0, 125, 250 and 500 mg.l-1), data were collected and means were tested according to least significant difference test (LSD) at probability level 0.05. The results showed superiority significant of planting distance at 20 cm and spraying humic acid at concentration 500 mg.L-1 on growth and yield parameters, while plants distance at 10 cm excelled on plant height and content of petals and seeds of antioxidant activities. The results showed superiority significant at interaction treat 20 cm × 500 mg.L-1, it produced the highest rates in most considered qualities and yield of dry petals and seed yields were 79.658 and 2197.5 kg. ha-1, while interference treat 10 cm x 500 mg.L-1 produced the highest means on total phenolic compounds and total oxidative activity and scavenging free radicals reached 41.47, 212.7, 58.07, 38.72 and 33.59 mg.g-1 DW, 67.7 and 47.0% in petals and seeds respectively.

Abstract Foliar application and seed soaking has been used as a means of supplying supplemental doses of nutrients, plant hormones, stimulants, and organic components. the effects of these applications have included yield increases, and improved drought tolerance, and enhanced crop quality, so A field experiment was carried out during spring seasons in 2019 and 2020 for styding Seed soaking and Foliar Application of Ascorbic acid, Citric acid and Humic acid on Growth, Yield and Active Components IN Maize. Randomized complete block design in split plots arrangement was used with three replicates. Main-plots were for seeds soaking with ascorbic, citric (100 mg l-1) frequently and humic at (1 ml l-1). Sub-plots were for vegetative parts nutrition with same acids above. Results showed a significant superiority of seeds soaking in humic acid for traits of ears number per plant (1.3 and 1.6), rows number per ear (16.6 and 17.5), grains number per row (39.3 and 45.3), grains number per ear (644.3 and 793.5), weight of 300 grains (75.3 and 100.6 g), total grain yield ( 6.0 and 8.3 ton ha-1), shelling ratio (79.3 and 85.1%), biological yield (20.7 and 26.8 ton ha-1), harvesting index (30.4 and 31.2%), in both seasons respectively. Effect of vegetative parts nutrition or interaction between studied factors was non-significant on most traits studied. It can be concluded that soaking maize seeds in humic acid improves yield and yield components.

Water is among the most important factors affected growth, yield and quality of medicinal and aromatic plants since its deficiency may cause serious growth harms and yield losses. Egypt suffers from a scarcity of water, so each drop should be preserved. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the suitable irrigation treatment (120, 100 and 80% ETo (evapotranspiration) and humic acid amounts (control), 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 cm/L) that attain the highest growth, yield and essential oil of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L. Herit Aiton) under surface irrigation in clay soil at El Kanater El Khairiya. Results showed that humic acid alleviated the deteriorative effect of water deficiency, where plants irrigated with 120% ETo and treated with 2.0 cm/L humic acid improved the growth characters in terms of plant height, number of branches, fresh, dry weights and volatile oil yield. While, the highest volatile oil percentage and proline content were recorded at 80% ETo with humic acid at 2.0 cm/L treatment during the two growing seasons. Results also showed that the applied irrigation water under 120% ETo treatment was 7192 m3/fed averaged over the two growing seasons attained the highest yield. The highest values of water use efficiency and water productivity were 14.1 and 10.0 averaged over the two growing seasons attained under 80% ETo and application of 2.0 cm/L humic acid. Thus, it can be concluded that the required irrigation water for geranium is under 120% ETo. However, under water deficiency, 80% ETo and 2.0 cm/L humic acid could be applied, which increase geranium yield by 24%, compared to the 120% ETo treatment averaged over the two growing seasons.
