Effect of Seed Priming with Extract of Cissus quadrangularis on Wheat and Mung Seedlings under Different Salt Concentrations
Abstract: Salinity stress inhibits plant growth by affecting morphological, photosynthesis, antioxidant phenomena, and nitrogen metabolism, among other physiological and biochemical processes. In this study, the effects of pre-soaking wheat and mung grains in aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis on growth, and antioxidant activity of salt-treated plants, were investigated. The pre-soaking of grains in extract demonstrated a significant enhancement in growth parameters. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidise (GPOX), ascorbate …

Response of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Varieties to NPS Fertilizer Rate in Mid Altitude of Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Forage legume species adaptation has been done across Ethiopia; however, information on agronomic practice like fertilizer rate is generally scarce. So, the current study was to determine the influence of NPS fertilizer rate and varieties on dry matter yield, agronomic trait and nutritional value of Alfalfa at Werabe Agricultural Research Center (WARC). Experiment was applied factorial arrangement by using randomized complete block design with three replications. Fertilizer rates were (25, …
