Growth of Chenopodium quiona Wild under Naturally Salt Affected Soils

Abstract

Salinity and sodicity is today one of the most shocking threat in the irrigated agriculture. Mostly this is an abiotic strain that influences germination and plant growth. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Wild.) has garnered much attention in recent years because it is an excellent source of plant-based protein and is highly tolerance of soil salinity and sodicity. Protein content in most quinoa accessions has been reported to range from 12 to 17%, depending on variety, environment, and input sit is traditionally called the mother of grains having the potential to habitat under high saline sodic conditions environment. The aim of the present protocol was to investigate the germination and growth of quinoa plant under different naturally salt affected soils. Quiona weeds were sown in different salt affected soils comparing with a normal soil. A pot experiment was planned using randomized complete block design with three replicates. Non-significant results regarding germination among different naturally salt affected and normal soils was determined However germination percentage was reduced to 66.8 % by soil5 having (SAR= 37.2). In other words Quinoa seeds were germinated up to (SAR= 37.2). Results of Quinoa plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight after two weeks were significantly affected by different naturally salt affected and normal soils. This study revealed the quiona growth was inversely proportional to the sodium absorption ratio. Reduction in growth parameters was associated with increasing trend of SAR due to the presence of excessive salts in plant tissues.

Effects of Bypass Fat on Buffalo Carcass Characteristics, Meat Nutrient Contents and Profitability

“…Earlier, Lambertz et al [ 10 ] reported a higher carcass fat percentage in buffaloes following supplementation with a 2.0% body weight of concentrate, while Pimpa et al [ 37 ] failed to improve the warm and cold carcass yield of the cattle when fed with 5% fat. Nevertheless, the average carcass yield of the Murrah cross and the swamp buffaloes in this study was markedly lower than the pure-breed Murrah buffaloes, as reported by Biswas and Rajkumar [ 3 ] and Arshadullah et al [ 46 ], likely due to breed differences and the higher proportion of non-edible parts [ 16 , 47 ]. In fact, the Murrah cross in this study recorded a high carcass bone percentage ( p < 0.05).…”

Risk Evaluation of Water Conservancy in a Public-Private Partnership Project Based on Grey Fuzzy Theory

“…Shen et al divided risks into internal, external and project-level risks by investigating the main risks in publicprojects and the management in the projects (Shen et al 2006, Yun et al 2018. Some researchers found that PPP project financing, especially capital market financing, plays an important role in the success of PPP projects (Regan et al 2011, Arshadullah et al 2017. In another study, scientists have constructed a PPP project performance index system with 5 kinds and 48 indexes by questionnaires (Yuan et al 2011.…”
