Bean is an important vegetable crop of Nepal but farmers of Jumla district of Nepal are experiencing low productivity, probably due to poor germination. Keeping these points in view, a study was conducted to determine the germination and seed vigour of various indigenous beans genotype of Jumla district during February to March, 2018. The promising lines of Jumli beans namely KBL-3, KBL-2, PB0002, PB0001, KBL-1 and farm saved KBL-3 were used under study. The experiment was laid in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications and six treatments namely T1 = KBL-3, T2 = KBL-2, T3 = PB0002, T4 = PB0001, T5 = KBL-1 and T6 = Farm-saved KBL-3. Significant differences were observed in germination percentage, speed of germination, seed vigourindex and true leaf emergence among different lines of Jumli beans .The highest germination percentage (96%), seed vigour index (1367) and speed of germination (1.763) was found in the variety of KBL-3 whereas the lowest germination percentage (69%), seed vigour index (947) and speed of germination (0.968) were found in the variety of KBL-1. Days to true leaf emergence was found shortest in the KBL-3 (23.50) and longest in the farm saved KBL-3 (30.25). KBL-3 pureline of Jumli bean was found to be highly responsive to seed germination and vigour characteristics. Thus, it would be better to suggest the indigenous bean growing farmers of Jumla district to cultivate KBL-3 for better germination and seed vigour. SAARC J. Agri., 18(2): 67-75 (2020)

ABSTRACTNITROGEN RETENTION AND METABOLIC ENERGY OF BROILER CHICKEN RATION USING SORGHUM MEAL (Sorghum bicolor (L). moench) AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CORN. The aims of this study was to determine the value of Nitrogen Rretention (RN) and Nitrogen-Corrected Metabolic Energy (AMEn) rations using sorghum meal as a substitute for corn in broiler chickens. The study was carried out using 20 broiler strain Cobb aged six weeks consisting of six preliminary days and four days of data collection. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used which is consisting of five treatments and four replications. The treatments used are: R0 = substitute 100% corn or sorghum 0%, R1 = substitute 25% corn or sorghum 12.5%, R2 = substitute 50% corn or sorghum 25%, R3 = substitute 75% corn or sorghum 37.5%, and R4 = substitute 100% corn orsorghum 50%. The variables observed were the Nitrogen Retention value (RN) and Nitrogen Corrected Metabolic Energy (AMEn). Study showed that RN value of R0 (63.38%), R1 (65.69%), R2 (70.76%), R3 (70.77%), R4 (68.03%) and AMEn R0 (2417 , 14 Kkl / kg), R1 (2331.17 Kkl / kg), R2 (2157.87 Kkl / kg), R3 (2261.17 Kkl / kg) R4 (2290.02 Kkl / kg). he treatment gave no significant effect (P> 0.05) on RN value and AMEn. Based on this study it can be concluded that sorghum flour can replace corn to 100% or use 50% in broiler ration seen from the N retention value (68.03%) and AMEn value (2290.02 Kkl / kg).Keywords :     Broiler chicken, corn, metabolic energy, nitrogen retention, sorghum

A tarumarana (Buchenavia tomentosa Eichler) é uma espécie florestal com potencial para a recomposição florestal no bioma Cerrado. No entanto, a formação das mudas dessa espécie, via semente, fica comprometida, por esta apresentar dormência tegumentar. Com base nessa problemática, desenvolveu-se um experimento com o objetivo de avaliar a escarificação ácida e a imersão em água, como métodos para a superação da dormência de pirênios de tarumarana. Os tratamentos testados foram: T0 – sem tratamento para superação da dormência; T1 – imersão em água quente por uma hora; T2 – imersão em água quente por uma hora e meia; T3 – imersão em água quente por duas horas; T4 – imersão em ácido sulfúrico por uma hora; T5 – imersão em ácido sulfúrico por uma hora e meia. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 20 pirênios de tarumarana por repetição. Ao final de 30 dias, a contar do começo das emergências, foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), o tempo médio de germinação (TMG), porcentagem de germinação (G) e o índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), comprimento da parte aérea (H) e diâmetro de coleto (DC). O método mais eficiente para a superação da dormência dos pirênios de tarumarana foi a imersão em água quente por uma hora e meia, que garantiu a maior taxa de germinação. No entanto, a imersão em água quente, como método para superação da dormência de pirênios de tarumarana, não influenciou de forma significativa no crescimento inicial em altura e em diâmetro das mudas obtidas.   Palavras-chave: Buchenavia Tomentosa. Ácido Sulfúrico. Água Quente. Quebra de Dormência. Semente Florestal.   Abstract Tarumarana (Buchenavia tomentosa Eichler) is a forest species with potential for restoration in the Cerrado biome. However, the formation of seedlings of this species, via seed, is compromised, because it presents integumentary dormancy. Based on this problem, an experiment was developed with the objective of evaluating acid scarification and immersion in water, as methods for overcoming dormancy in tarumarana pyrenes. The tested treatments were: T0 - without treatment to overcome dormancy; T1 - immersion in hot water for one hour; T2 - immersion in hot water for one hour and a half; T3 - immersion in hot water for two hours; T4 - immersion in sulfuric acid for one hour; T5 - immersion in sulfuric acid for one hour and a half. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design, with 20 pyrenes of tarumarana per repetition. At the end of 30 days, counting from the beginning of emergencies, the following variables were evaluated: germination speed index (IVG), average germination time (TMG), germination percentage (G), the germination speed index (IVG), shoot length (H) and diameter (DC). The most efficient method for overcoming dormancy in tarumarana pyrenes was immersion in hot water for one hour and a half, which guaranteed the highest germination percentage. However, immersion in hot water, as a method to overcome dormancy of tarumarana pyrenes, did not influence, significantly, the initial growth in height and diameter of the seedlings obtained.   Keywords: Buchenavia tomentosa.

A study was carried out to examine the performance of blackgram seedlings under varying levels of salinity and to ascertain the remedial effect of lipo chitooligosaccharide (LCO) against salinity stress. Higher germination percentage, root and shoot length, vigour index and salt tolerance index and lower phytotoxicity of roots and shoots (0) were observed in control (no salinity) treatment irrespective of priming. Salinity negatively influenced the seedling growth and as the salinity increased the seedling growth characters were drastically reduced. The nod factor treated blackgram seedlings had relatively higher germination percentage , root and shoot length, vigour index and salt tolerance index and lower phytotoxicity of roots and shoots. Seed priming with nod factor was found to have significant effect on eliminating the effects of salinity.

Agriculture depends on biotic and abiotic factors, and one of them is allelopathy, defined as the chemical interference that one plant has on others, which can negatively affect germination. The objective of this work is to evaluate the allelopathic effects of Sorghum bicolor and Digitaria insularis on seed germination and initial development of canola seedlings (Brassica napus L.). A completely randomized design was used in a 2x5 factorial scheme (two extracts: D. insularis and S. bicolor) and five concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%), with four replicates of fifty seeds, the plot being constituted by a 'gerbox' box containing 50 seeds evenly distributed. The variable analyzed were germination percentage (G), abnormal seedlings (AS), dead seeds (DS), length of the shoot (SL) and primary root (RL), total length (TL) of the seedling, shoot ratio (S/T), and root ratio (R/T). The aqueous extracts of D. insularis interfere in all variables studied, which compromises the formation of normal seedlings, regardless of concentration. The extract of S. bicolor expressed allelopathic effects only in concentrations above 75%. Both species can inhibit the initial development of canola plants.

Abstract: Angico is a species found in several environments in Brazil, with several applications. It is used in the timber industry and mainly in folk medicine. In order to verify a variation in the biometric characteristics and the quality of seeds from different mother-plants in different harvesting years, the following variables were studied: moisture content, diameter, density, electrical conductivity, fresh and dry matter of seedlings, germination percentage and kinetics, in a completely randomized design with a 2x3 factorial arrangement (lots x size). The obtained results showed that angico seeds from different lots showed different physiological quality, possibly due to the climate variations to which mother-plants were submitted in the different years. Seed size directly interferes with seedling growth under both controlled and greenhouse conditions, and it can be used as a vigor indicator for angico seeds.

Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is a spice that has a high polyphenol content and has the potential to enrich the chocolate taste. This study evaluated the panelists’ acceptance and physical analysis (color and hardness) of white and milk compound chocolate with the addition of Sappan wood powder (0 %, 5%, 10%, 15%) by implementing a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment with one factor. The results showed that the addition of Sappan wood powder could reduce the panelists’ preference at the parameters of color, aroma, taste, texture and overalls. Hence, Panelists preferred white and milk compound chocolate without the addition of Sappan wood powder. Results of the physical analysis showed that the addition of Sappan wood powder decreased the chocolate brightness and increased the chocolate hardness.

Aim: This study was conducted to develop liquid enhancer containing KCl, TU, GA, and SA for germination of drought-stressed Oryza sativa subsp. indica cv. MR284 seed. Study Design: All experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design. Two steps were involved in the development process which are to select an ideal concentration for each KCl, TU, GA, and SA, and to find an ideal combination of chemicals from the selection of ideal concentrations acquired in step 1 to form liquid enhancer. There were 20 treatments for step 1 and 9 treatments for step 2. All of these treatments with 6 replicates. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University Putra Malaysia, between June 2018 and December 2018. Methodology: The sterilized rice seed cv. MR284 was stressed in the -1.2 Mpa PEG 6000 solution for three days and germinated in the KCl, TU, GA, and SA solution in a series of concentration for 10 days, in a controlled room. Seed germination was observed daily. Results: In the first step, drought-stressed rice seed showed the best germination performance in the 30 mM of KCl, 2.0 mM of TU, 0.24 mM GA, and 0.5 mM SA. Meanwhile, in the second step, the drought-stressed rice seed showed the best germination performance in the combination of 30 mM KCl + 2.0 mM TU + 0.24 mM GA + 0.5 mM SA. The best germination performance was evaluated by the highest germination percentage (%), germination index, seed vigor, leaf length, root length and biomass. Conclusion: Therefore, the combination treatments of 30 mM KCl + 2.0 mM TU + 0.5 mM SA was found to be the most effective and simplest liquid enhancer formula that has an ability to enhance seed germination of drought-stressed rice cv. MR284 seed.
