Other claims from this paper (18)
- Observation Populations, cuts and their interactions had significant effects on all measured alfalfa traits at both locations.
- Association Differences due to populations and cuts were higher at Gelbana for shoot number, last-cut dry yield and protein percentage.
- Association The landraces group surpassed the local and exotic groups in mean performance for most measured traits.
- Observation Landraces from Alkharga, Siwa and Asuit gave the best forage yielding ability at both locations.
- Observation The exotic cultivar Hassawi gave the best forage yielding ability at both locations.
- Observation Sirivir had the highest protein percentage at Ismailia.
- Observation Siwa and Asuit had the highest protein percentage at Gelbana.
- Observation Siwa, Alkharga and Kena showed the highest and a reasonable intra-population variation at Ismailia.
- Observation Siwa, Aldakhla, Alkharga and Sirivir expressed the highest within-population variance at Gelbana.
- Recommendation Such landraces are of special interest as a genetic resource in alfalfa breeding programs.
- Association Plant height and forage yield were positively and significantly related at Ismailia.
- Association At Gelbana, shoot number was correlated with yield for most studied populations.
- Recommendation Selection for high yielding ability and protein content is possible at both locations.
- Intervention effect Most boron-urea treatments significantly increased date palm yield and improved fruit quality compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Boron 0.4% with urea 0.1% increased fruit set percentage and bunch weight in date palms.
- Intervention effect Boron 0.4% with urea 0.2% increased peel pigments in date palm fruit.
- Intervention effect Boron 0.4% with urea 0.2% decreased fruit acidity and tannins in date palm.
- Recommendation Boron 0.4% with urea 0.2% is suggested as a good recommendation for Zaghloul and Samany date palms for high yield with best fruit quality.
