Utilizing observed data from 2021 and 2022, the model was calibrated and validated using key parameters such as days to anthesis, physiological maturity, and yield. Calibration involved adjusting genetic coefficients to improve simulation accuracy, with validation ensuring the model's reliability beyond the calibration period. The comparison between observed and simulated data for crop performance parameters showed that the model performed reasonably well. For days to Anthesis, the RMSE was 4.32 with a d-stat of 0.59, and an error of 5.4%. For Days to Panicle initiation, the RMSE was 1.83, the d-stat was 0.82, and the error was -4.7%. For days to PM, the RMSE was 6.7, the d-stat was 0.65, and the error was 3.0%. Yield showed an RMSE of 472.4, a d-stat of 0.81, and an error of 7.7%. F The mean simulated values closely matched the observed means, indicating overall good model accuracy. In this study, fine tuning the genetic coefficients of CERES rice model for the variety Rjeshwari was done and can be used for further studies and applications.","PeriodicalId":14186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":"24 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141355738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight treatments, viz; control (water spray), potassium sulphate (5 g per litre of water), phenylalanine (@ 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%), nano-potash (@ 1, 2 and 3ml/l of water) were selected for colour improvement. The treatments were applied 30 days prior to harvest. The experiment was laid in complete randomised block design with 3 replications having 3 trees per replication. The results showed that all the treatments outperformed control in terms of chemical characteristics. The treatment T4 (Phenylalanine @ 0.3%) significantly excelled in all the treatments applied. Significantly higher anthocyanin content (14.41 mg/100g), antioxidants (75.71 %), total sugars (12.98 %), TSS (16.23 %), fruit chlorophyll (0.59 mg/g fw) and fruit ascorbic acid (23.93 %) was recorded in T4 (Phenylalanine @ 0.3%) as compared to other treatments. According to the current study, apple cultivar Ambri responded favourably to the application of foliar phenylalanine in improving chemical traits, which otherwise lacks in this cultivar.

The soil samples were collected from three depths (i.e., surface: 0–30 cm, sub-surface: 30–60 cm and inner: 60-90 cm from each selected site.

Fabaceae is the most dominant family with 07 species. The study also examined soil chemical parameters and micronutrients in different sites and established their relations with vegetation dynamics. Notably, tree density showed a significant positive correlation with soil pH (r=0.59, p<0.05), but a significant negative correlation with Shannon diversity (H') (r=-0.53, p<0.05). Similarly, there was a significant positive correlation of Organic carbon with copper (r=0.59, p<0.05) and iron (r=0.61, p<0.00); however, there was a significant negative correlation with Available Phosphorus (r=-0.52, p<0.05). \u0000Conclusion: Research findings underscore the importance of soil nutrients in promoting forest health and growth.

Daily monitoring of seedlings' height and germination count was conducted using a counting method and rulers, as well as water sprays. As a result, viability varied among seeds, with pechay (100%) and mustard (96.30%) showing higher rates in recycled paper than spinach (25.93%) and saluyot (44.44%). The viability of pechay (96.30%), mustard (96.30%), spinach (96.30%), and saluyot (70.37%) was generally higher in soil. Germination rates differed across seed types and media. Pechay and mustard grew consistently in both media, while spinach and saluyot had different growth patterns and showed slower growth. Statistical analysis using the Fisher Exact Test and T-test showed no significant difference in viability between recycled paper and soil (P = 0.214). Soil remains preferred, but recycled paper can serve as an alternative starting medium.

However, the vase life of gladiolus flowers is relatively short due to physiological factors such as water stress, carbohydrate depletion, microbial activity, and ethylene exposure. This review discusses various preharvest and postharvest factors that influence the vase life of gladiolus flowers. Genetic factors, environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, and biotic stresses can impact vase life during the preharvest stage. Postharvest factors such as ethylene production, carbon dioxide levels, and pest/disease issues also play a crucial role. The use of chemical preservatives like sucrose, salicylic acid, and growth regulators like gibberellic acid have been found effective in extending the vase life and maintaining the quality of cut gladiolus flowers. Integrated management of these factors can help improve the postharvest longevity and marketability of gladiolus as a cut flower.","PeriodicalId":14186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant &amp; Soil Science","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141375251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
