K.A. Gomez’s scientific contributions

... The data of two years was used for pooled analysis. The statistical analysis and the interpretation of the experimental data was done by using Fischer method of Analysis of Variance technique as outlined by Gomez and Gomez (1984). The level of significance used in F test was 5 per cent for field experiment and 1 per cent for laboratory experiment. ...

... Five plants were selected at random from the gross plot area through destructive sampling at 60, 90 DAT and at harvest for recording dry matter accumulation (g hill -1 ). Experimental data obtained on various parameters were subjected to statistical analysis by adopting Fisher's method of analysis of variance (ANOVA) as given by Gomez and Gomez (1984). ...

... Analysis of variance was performed using MSTAT-C version 2.1 (1991). Means comparison for the treatments was done using the least significant difference (P < 0.05) according to Gomez and Gomez (1984). ...

... These results are compatible with Ismail and Khokhar et al. [47,48]. On the other hand, the correlation between grain yield and 1000-grain weight was positive and significant, which agrees with previously reported results [49,50]. Our overall results indicated the superiority of some of the imported barley genotypes (07MN-82, 06N6-84, 08UT-01, 07N6-57, 08N2-18, 07WA-03 and 08UT-54) compared with the local commercial cultivars for grain yield and other important traits. ...

... Globally, nitrogen deficiency is a crucial growth-limiting factor for plants, especially under abiotic stresses. The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is defined as the output of any crop plant per unit of nitrogen applied under a specific set of soil and climatic conditions [2]. Agronomist usually considers the amount of rough rice produced per unit of nitrogen applied as the efficiency of nitrogen, but physiologist defined it as the amount of rough rice produced per unit of nitrogen absorbed [3,4]. ...

... On a marginally sodic silt loam at Modipuram, yield of direct seeded rice declined significantly to 15% as suction increased from 10 to 20 kPa at 20 cm (Sharma et al., 2002) [82] . De Datta et al. (1975) [85] reported that a water deficit during vegetative and reproductive phase reduced rice yield by 34% and 50%, respectively. Continuous submergence consumed highest total water use (122.2 ...

... However, the information required to make such adjustment is usually missing beforehand and, consequently, such adjustment is seldom possible. The application of a more general model that can be applied by default in the analysis of different trials would be highly desirable (Gomez and De Datta, 1972), even if the precision in the adjustment is not perfect. The interest to develop a general model applicable to different cassava varieties and environmental conditions defined the nature of this study. ...

... In areas of marginal P deficiency, application of P fertilizers is essential to marginal higher yields under intensive cropping. Datta and Gomez (1975) reported the similar findings. Continuous application of different organic and inorganic sources of nutrients profoundly influences many chemical properties of soil such as organic carbon content, pH, electrical conductivity etc. Increase in organic matter in soil increases the exchange capacity and cation retention, reduces phosphorus fixation and acts as a source and sink of trace elements resulting in higher availability of nutrients may help in enhancing higher yields. ...
