The minute size seeds can survive for few hours of life after germination, therefore quickly attach to a host root before their resources exhausted. The parasite attacks the host root through haustoriums and develops underground for about 25-40 days, after which depending upon conditions outside, produce the flowering stalks above ground and looks like a straw to purple coloured scales. It grows upto 15-30 cm in height in clusters above the ground. Orobanche plants are without leaves and upper 2/3 part of stem bears inflorescence which is rather sparse. Each flower bears a small capsule which contains 40,000 to 50,000 or even more minute seeds (0.15-0.5 mm long). The seeds remain viable in soil for up to 20 years (Figure 1). The germinating seed (host dependent seed conditioning and stimulation) produces a germ tube or radical which elongates chemotropically and forms a haustorium that is strongly attached to the plant vascular system.4,5 Life cycle of Orobanche has seed germination, haustorial initiation, attachment, penetration and establishment in the host and emergence of the flowering stalk above soil.6","PeriodicalId":258349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Plants and Agriculture Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130914818","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}

Finland is in the forefront of redesigning its traditional, linear economy into a CE through innovative business models in its forestry, food production, and transportation sectors. In the CE paradigm, the management of the forestry and environment sector is important as they are vital sources of tangible and exhaustible resources like timber, fossil fuels, minerals and metals, and watersheds. Healthy forests also resonate with lesser pollution and imply a better quality of life. The paper identifies some strength in the Finnish forestry sector which is facilitating the quick transition to the CE through innovative business models.1 One, 75 percent of the state’s forests is private owned, with the average size of holding at around 30 hectares. This ownership pattern ensures quick adoption of best practices and commercial competencies of the private sector in sustainable forest management. Affirmative Government actions, subsidies support, and tax structure, encourage forest owners to use efficient silvicultural practices in forest management which align with the commercial incentives of timber procurement organizations, transportation companies, and forest machinery entrepreneurs towards forest conservation.","PeriodicalId":258349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Plants and Agriculture Research","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116398647","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}

These changes will be affecting the agricultural system in general and onion production, quality and market value in particular.17 To improve plant growth under stress conditions, and for sustainable crop production, it is necessary to either improve salt stress tolerance or apply technologies which moderate adverse effects of salinity in crops. However, there are few technologies which could moderate the adverse effects of salinity on plants. Some nonionic surfactants can reduce soil water repellency, uniformity of soil moisture distribution and root zone moisture holding capacity and therefore improve crop yield. Surfactants are wetting agents that lower surface tension of a liquid, allowing it to spread out more easily. By changing the flow dynamics of water in irrigation, surfactants improve the hydrological behavior in soils allowing a better growing environment for plants and water conservation.18 Application of surfactant at the rate of 1 mg/l had positive effects on plant height, leaf number per plant, leaf, stem, shoot, and root dry weight in tomato.19 Also, Dadrasan et al.20 reported that application of surfactant with 1ppm concentration improved the photosynthetic pigments under high salinity stress. The potential of surfactant application to alleviate salinity stress has received insufficient attention from researchers.
