Data collected concerned the percentage of seedlings that emerged, morphometric and agronomic parameters.    \u0000Results: Seeds emerged varied from 80.6 to 93.5%. Collar diameter varied from 8.7 to 10.1mm, and stem height from 40.5 to 55.1cm. Groundnut varieties flowered on 30 to 35 DAS, and pod maturity is reached on 90 to 98 DAS. Number of pods per plant varied from 10.2 to 16.6, and number of seeds per pod from 2.0 to 2.3. The weight of fresh pods per plot varied from 1,002.3 to 1,043.2g, and the weight of dry pods per plot from 742.3 to 858.7g. The 100-seed weight varied from 49.4 to 53.4g. Dry pods yield varied from 1,546.5 to 1,816.1kg/ha, and seeds yield from 1,376.8 to 1,642.4kg/ha. The principal component analysis figure explains reality with 55.32% information. The first axis explained explains 33.54% of the information, and the second axis explained explains 21.78% of the information. Ascending hierarchical classification grouped groundnut varieties into five classes. \u0000Conclusion: This study shows high variability in the behaviour of groundnut varieties used. Collar diameter and plant height development are continuous from the second to the eighth WAS, then practically fade from the tenth WAS. Groundnut varieties flowered, and pods reached maturity at the same time. Yield is positively correlated with the weight of dry pods and the weight of seeds per plot. Hierarchical classification revealed five distinct classes of groundnut varieties.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"45 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138976360","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}

This study aimed to evaluate twenty different barley genotypes under different conditions, specifically normal, heat stress, and rain-fed conditions during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 growing seasons. This study was conducted as part of breeding programs aimed at developing agricultural genotypes that can adapt to changing environments. The experiment involved evaluating the performance of the twenty barley genotypes at three different locations: Sakha for the normal condition, New Valley Station for the heat stress condition, and Marsa Matruh for the rain-fed condition. The analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences in grain yield among the different genotypes and locations, as well as the interaction between genotypes and locations. This indicates that the genotypes responded differently to the different locations, and further analysis is needed to determine their stability. The average grain yield ranged from 9.9 to 16.0 arddab fad-1 (Faddan=4200m2) for Giza 135 and Line 5, respectively, across all three locations in both seasons, this shows that there is variation among the genotypes. Considering GGE biplot and stability analyses, Giza 126, Giza 2000, Giza 134, Giza 137, Giza 138, Line1, Line 2, Line 3, Line 4 and Line 5 showed the best performances, suggesting their adaptation to a wide range of environments. This suggests that these genotypes perform well in relation to the linear component of the genotype-by-environment interaction. Overall, this information can be used by plant breeders to select genotypes that are not only high-yielding but also stable across different environments.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"76 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138600227","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}

To ascertain the impact of seed priming treatment on the physiological quality of bitter gourd seeds, an experiment was carried out in the spring. In a single factorial randomized full block design with three replications, seeds were sowed on 28 celled seed treys for this experiment in an open field setting. Water, cow milk, cow urine, NANO urea, nutrition solution, NaCl solution, and untreated seed were all used as priming agents. Bitter gourd seeds of the Durga variety were sowed, and soil, vermicompost, and sand were used as the growing media in a 2:1:1 ratio. The experiment examined various metrics, including germination rate, germination index, seedling vigor index, root and leaf length, plant height, number of leaves and roots, root-to-shoot ratio, and fresh weight. The treatments including germination % were all found to be positively influenced by the priming. In hydro-priming, the highest germination rate (81.96%) was noted. On hydro-priming, the highest number of roots (11), was recorded. Maximum shoot diameter (0.34 cm) and fresh weight (2.41 g) were recorded under controlled treatment and hydro priming, respectively. The study comes to the conclusion that Durga hydro priming followed by halo priming in seed trays was shown to be effective for seed germination and seedling growth.
