Genetic Analyses of Generation Means For A Cross Between Two Local Breeds Of Chickens:ÆÆ- Comparisons Between F3 and Backcrosses For Egg Production Traits
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 13 Issue: 3
Comparisons between F3 and Backcross combinations derived from Gimmizah x Bandarah cross were used to estimate additive and dominance effects and the average level of dominance, which control the inheritance of egg production traits. Genetic variance components were estimated using Designs ÆÆand è. Both analysis determined that large positive additive genetic ...

Effect of varying rice residue management practices on growth and yield of wheat and soil organic carbon in rice-wheat sequence
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 13 Issue: 3
Two years studies were conducted rice-wheat sequence of 2007-08 and 2008-09 to assess the effect of rice residue management on growth, yield and protein content in grain and straw of wheat. The various rice residue and nutrient management systems significantly affect the plant height and number of tillers per meter and were maximum with 30% additional NPK + recommended NPK over sowing of...

Influence of Fumigants and Number of Fumigation on Seed Quality and Storability of Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L)
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 13 Issue: 3
Groundnut is a self pollinated crop grown worldwide for its edible oil and vegetable protein. Production of quality seed not only involves technical skill, labour and finance but the produced seed needs to be properly saved until next planting time. Hence the experiment was carried out to study the influence of fumigants and number of fumigation on seed quality parameters during storage....

Expression of Traits of Barley (Hordeium vulgare L.) Landrace Crosses Under Waterlogged and Free Drainage Conditions
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 13 Issue: 3
Estimates of genetic parameters are useful since they provide information on the inheritance of characters and help to predict the value of crosses. If the value of crosses cannot be predicted, many crosses need to be made which results in each cross having a small population size, fewer progenies in later generations and a lower probability of recovering good genotypes from each cross. ...
