...ularly grown genetically hybrid cotton varieties namely; KMG-1, KMG-2, KMG-3, and non-Bt NIAB-78 were sown on 8th May 2023. After 6th week of cotton sowing, the data of pest infestation were gathered through randomized complete block design on a weekly interval basis on recommended cotton cultivars. The maximum infestation of the thrips population per leaf was recorded on KMG-3, 1.66, followed by KMG-2, 1.35, KMG-1, 1.12, and 1.01 on NIAB-78. The population of...

...uld have resulted from a hybrid between Bos javanicus and zebu. Based on the genotyping analysis of the functional genes, the DGAT1 gene exhibits polymorphism, whereas the NCAPG and RNF212 genes display monomorphism. This result may have important implications for improving milk yield of the Vang breed based on molecular markers of the DGAT1 gene. Therefore, the present study may provide useful information for future breeding and conservation efforts of this V...

..., and enzyme activity of hybrid saline-tolerant tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis mossambicus) juveniles. Soybean meal was replaced with fermented copra meal at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (by weight). Five iso-nitrogenous (at 38% CP) and iso-lipidic (at 5% CL) formulated diets were fed to hybrid tilapia juveniles (0.42 g ± 0.07) following a complete randomized statistical design. Weight gain, spec...

...ous studies on paulownia hybrids have demonstrated how the local environment and climatic circumstances significantly affect the growth value of individual clones. This difference is not only related to the development of the growth-related features, but also to the properties of the wood and the possibility of its utilization. Paulownia hybrids and cultivars have a similar appearance, but they react to their environment dif...
