Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Rates on Growth, Yield and Yield Components of Garlic (Allium sativumL.) in Debark District, North Western Ethiopia

Garlic is one of the crops widely cultivated in the world including Ethiopia. The inadequate application of inorganic fertilizer could be one of the constraints for garlic production. The field experiment was conducted in Debark district of North Western Ethiopia in 2019 under irrigation to investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer rates on growth, Read More …

Predictions of Reaction Cross-section Induced by Alpha Particle on 55Mn Isotopes using TALYS 1.95 and COMPLET computer codes

To study the role of equilibrium and pre-equilibrium emissions of the nuclear particle(s) on the excitation functions in α + 55Mn system, an experiment has been performed using an alpha particle from 10MeV-200MeV energy range. This study is aimed to compare the correlation between the theoretical and experimental excitation functions of alpha-particle-induced reactions on manganese. Read More …
