Effect of Benzyladenine Plus Gibberellins and Gibberellic Acid on Yield and Yield Components of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. ‘tempo’)

Batlang, Utlwang; Emongor, Vallantino E.; Pule-Meulenburg, Flora (Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2006)

Two greenhouse trials were carried out to evaluate the effect of benzyladenine plus gibberellins (GA4+7) and gibberellic acid (GA3) on yield and yield components of cucumber. Gibberellic acid significantly increased leaf ...

Effect of carrot juice and stabilizer on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of yoghurt

Kiros, Emun; Seifu, Eyassu; Bultosa, Geremew; Solomon, W.K. (Elsevier, 2016)

Yoghurt fortification with fruits and vegetables has high potential to improve the nutrients and health promoting effects of the yoghurt. The effects of carrot juice (0, 10, 15 and 20%) and gelatin stabilizer (0.5,0.6 and ...

Effect of control plot density, control plot arrangement, and assumption of random or fixed effects on nonreplicated experiments for germplasm screening using spatial models

Sebolai, Boi; Pedersen, J.F.; Marx, D.B.; Boykin, D.L. (Crop Science Society of America, 2005)

Early generation selection experiments typically involve several hundred to thousands of lines. Various systematic and statistical techniques have been developed to increase effectiveness and efficiencies in such experiments, ...

The effect of extrusion condition and blend proportion on the physicochemical and sensory attributes of teff-soybean composite flour gluten free extrudates.

Awol, Sadik Jemal; Kidane, Solomon Worku; Bultosa, Geremew (Elsevier Ltd, 2023-11-26)

The effects of soybean-to-teff ratio (SB), feed moisture content (FM) and barrel temperature (BT) on physico-chemical properties and sensory attributes of extruded product from teff-soybean flour blend was studied. Increase ...

Rasebeka, Lorato; Mathowa, Thembinkosi; Mojeremane, Witness (SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2014)

Effect of Seed Pre-sowing Treatment on Germination of Three Acacia Species Indigenous to Botswana Effectiveness of selected immersion-based seed pre-sowing treatments (cold water, hot water and concentrated sulphuric acid) ...

Effects of Bambara groundnut and Butternut blending on functional and sensory properties of sorghum flour porridge.

Kobue-Lekalake, Rosemary; Geremew, Bultos; Gopadile, Oduetse Daniel; Hak, Gulelat Desse; Molapisi, Moenyane; Seifu, Eyassu; Sekwati-Monan, Bonno; Gwamba, John; Sonno, Kethabile; Moko, Boitumelo (AIMS Press, 2022-05-06)

Mageu is a non-alcoholic fermented gruel processed from cereal grains, mostly maize and is widely consumed in the Southern African region. The refined maize meal used for mageu processing is limited in dietary fiber, ...

Effects of combined apertures on the magnitudes of electric coupling coefficients of combline resonators

Pholele, T.M.; Chuma, J.M (IOP Publishing, 2014)

The effects of differently positioned and combined apertures on the magnitudes of electric coupling coefficients of two identical combline resonators are analysed. Coupling coefficient, k-vertical symmetry provides greater ...
