Estimation of yield and nitrogen use efficiencies in hybrid maize varieties through site specific nitrogen management based on leaf color chart (LCC) by Suhail Fayaz, Raihana Habib Kanth, Tauseef A. Bhat, Eajaz Ahmad Dar, Zahoor Ahmad Shah, Moneesa Bashir, Aijaz Nazir, Bilkees Jamsheed, Mohd. Salim Mir, Zahoor A. Dar, Shailja Sharma, Aabid Hussain Lone, Dawood Yousuf, Nadhir Al-Ansari, Mohamed A. Mattar, Ali Salem

“…Split Plot Design (SPD) employing three maize varieties (Shalimar Maize Hybrid-2 (SMH-2), Kanchan-517 and Vivek-45) in main plots and precision management of nitrogen (T1: Control, T2: Recommended Nitrogen (120 kg N ha–1), T3: 25% N as basal LCC @20 (≤ 3) kg N ha−1, T4: 25% N as basal LCC @30 (≤ 3) kg N ha−1, T5: 25% N as basal LCC @20 (≤ 4) kg N ha−1, T6: 25% N as basal LCC @30 (≤ 4) kg N ha−1, T7: 25% N as basal LCC @20 (≤ 5) kg N ha−1 and T8: 25% N as basal LCC @30 (≤ 5) kg N ha−1) in sub-plots was systemized. The pooled means indicated that SMH-2 chalked up utmost values in growth (plant height 189.4 cm) and periodic leaf area index and yield parameters with a grain yield of 6.1 t ha–1, straw yield of 10.6 t ha–1, respectively. …”

Key experimental technologies and their development directions for the exploration and production of deep coalbed methane by Xia YAN, Fengyin XU, Xianyue XIONG, Feng WANG, Chunhu LI, Jiyuan ZHANG, Borui XU, Qianhui CHENG, Xiong HU, Xueguang ZHU, Wei LIANG, Pu YUAN, Yanqing FENG, Zhenji WEI

“…However, the exploration and production of deep CBM are still confronted with many technical challenges, and there is a lack of studies on key experimental technologies related to the geological characteristics and engineering assessment of deep CBM reservoirs, the occurrence characteristics and production mechanisms of gas and water, the formulation of production systems, and methods for enhanced CBM recovery. Advances in ResearchGiven the characteristics of deep coal seams and CBM, this study identifies four challenges in the exploration and exploitation of deep coal seams: the collection of large coal samples, the high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-stress in-situ conditions, high-precision characterization and desorption of sub-nano- to nano-scale micropores, and the accurate determination of gas content. …”
