originates in East Africa and is the oldest of the commercial oil seeds. The oil is a clear edible oil with a pleasant taste and a very good long shelf life if properly refined. Sesame has an oil content of 48-55% which is the highest of any oil crop while the protein content ranges from 44 to 48%. Sesame seeds are either consumed directly as a highly nutritious foodstuff or processed by the confectionery and bakery industries. The seed hulls‚ which are bitter due to their oxalic content‚ can be removed

INTRODUCTION The oil seed crop Arachis hypogea L. (groundnut/peanut) belongs to family the leguminosae and sub family Papillionacea. The seed containing 50% oil and 25 to 30% proteins can be used as meal for food and feed (Ahmad and Rahim‚ 2007). In Pakistan‚ about 85% of total groundnut is grown in Potowar tract of Punjab‚ 13% in

allelochemicals. One of them is the Eucalyptus deglupta‚ which is unique among eucalyptus. Unlike other members of the genus‚ rainbow eucalyptus hails from the Philippine Islands; specifically‚ the island of Mindanao‚ which is why the tree is also referred to as a Mindanao gum. According to the study of Bughio‚ Mangrio‚ Abro‚ Jahangir and Bux‚ it has been found that Eucalyptus species release volatile compounds such as benzoic‚ cinnamic and phenolic acids which inhibit growth of crops and weeds growing

Hoeing and hand weeding: There are the traditional methods of control and still the most appropriate on cultivated ground and around other plants. Hoeing and hand weeding should be done regularly while the weeds are small and certainly before they seed. Mulching: Inorganic mulches like polythene and stone chippings are particularly effective at supperessing weeds. Bark is also quite good and looks attractive in the ornamental garden. Mulching is also one of the simplest and most benefical practies

Introduction The problem is how the miracle gro helps the mustard seed germinate. The purpose of this experiment is to find out how the water cycle works in a biome. The objectives are to find out what soils help the mustard seed grow the fastest. If I use miracle grow than the plants will germinate the fastest because of the Molybdenum it has in it. II. Methods Materials you will need: Clear tape Ruler (5) Mustard Seed (40mL) Gravel (35mL) Sand Fresh water Goldfish (1) (55cm) Cotton

struggle at best. Brassica rapa is a highly diverse‚ rapid-cycling group of crop plants that have been used for research in genetics and hands on learning in the classroom (Williams and Curtis‚ 1986). Germination and establishment of Brassica rapa is critical in the life of the plant as this is when the seeds are most vulnerable to injury‚ disease‚ and water stress. (Raven et al. 2005) Intraspecific competition occurs in the Brassica rapa when the same species vie for the same resources in an ecosystem
