Starches isolated from the rice (Jhelum and Kohsar) and corn (PS-43 and Shalimarmaize)cultivars were studied for their physico-chemical and morphological properties. Physicochemical properties such as composition, water and oil absorption capacity, swelling power, syneresis,freeze–thaw stability and light transmittance showed significant differences among the starches. Amylose contents of sta…
Recent development of site-specific weed management strategies suggests patch application of herbicides to avoid their excessive use in crops. The estimation of infestation of weeds and control thresholds are important components for taking spray decisions. If weed pressure is below a certain level in some parts of the field and if late germinating weeds do not affect yield, it may not be nece…
