How sowing date affects development and performance of safflower through climate variables

Adaptation to climate change through the choice of cropping system and sowing date in sub-Saharan Africa

Multiple cropping systems provide more harvest security for farmers, allow for crop intensification and furthermore influence ground cover, soil erosion, albedo, soil chemical properties, pest infestation and the carbon sequestration potential. We identify the traditional sequential cropping systems in ten sub-Saharan African countries from a survey dataset of more than 8600 households. We find...

effects of sowing date and irrigation treatment on safflower seed quality

field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of sowing dates and irrigation on seed quality of a spring-type safflower cultivar, in karaj-iran, during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. a split plot design based on a randomized complete block layout with three replications was used in which sowing dates and irrigation treatments comprised the main plot and sub-plot, respectively. the...

How Climate Change Affects Children's Health.

Evaluate the performance of SDSM model in different station and predict climate variables for future

According to the fourth report from the IPCC was confirmed climate change and its impacts on drought, floods, health problems and food shortages. Therefore, understanding of how climate change could be important in the management of resources, especially water resources management. Atmosphere-Ocean Global Circulation Models (AOGCM) are tools for predicting the future climate variables and it mu...

Soybean Sowing Date: The Vegetative, Reproductive, and Agronomic Impacts

The sensitivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] main stem node accrual to ambient temperature has been documented in greenhousegrown plants but not with fi eld-grown plants in the north-central United States. Biweekly V-node and R-stage, stem node number, internode length, and other traits were quantifi ed in an irrigated split-plot, four-replicate, randomized complete block experiment cond...
