Expanding eco-friendly approaches to improve plant growth and crop productivity is of great
important for sustainable agriculture. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out at the …

Climate change has become a serious threat all over the world, which creates a negative
impact on the growth, physiology and yield attributes of the crops. Drought stress is one of …

Productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) as affected by
nitrogen application levels and timing were studied. The experimental design was a three …

Crop productivity relies heavily on nitrogen (N) fertilization. N is an essential macronutrient

The functional similarity between indigenous plant species (IPS) and invasive alien species
(IAS) governs the invasion process of successful IAS because IPS and coexisting IAS suffer …

Most of the allelopathic studies have concentrated on the allelopathic effects of invasive
herbaceous plants on the natives, particularly on seed germination and seedling growth …

The plant rhizosphere is a major habitat for diverse microorganisms because of its
heterogeneous microenvironment. It is well known that an imbalance in rhizosphere …

To find out effective use of nitrogen (N) in autumn planted maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid, a field
experiment was conducted during 2009 at Agronomic Research Area, University of …

Allelopathy of invasive alien species on seed germination and seedling growth (SGerSGro)
