Influence of planting geometry on photosynthetically active radiation interception and dry matter production relationships in pearl millet

construction and primary evaluation of a simple model to predict potential dry matter production in pearl millet

a simple mechanistic model was constructed to evaluate potential dry matter of pearl millet. all needed parameters were calculated based on many field and laboratory experiments and actual data obtained from 86 fields of millet located at different regions of khorasan's provinces. the major simulated processes were crop phenology (as a function of temperature and photoperiod function curve...

Photosynthetically active radiation: measurements and modelling

Photosynthetically-active radiation is a necessary input in applications dealing with plant physiology, biomass production and natural illumination in greenhouses. Unfortunately, a worldwide routine network for the measurement of photosynthetically-active radiation is not yet established and it is often calculated as a constant ratio of the broadband solar radiation. This ratio is affected by m...

Effect of Different Levels of Nitrogen and Planting Patterns on Dry Matter Production and Growth Physiological Indices in Intercropping Maize and Sunflower

This research aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen and planting patterns on dry matter production and growth physiological indices in intercropping maize and sunflower. To do this a split plot experiment carried out based randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of Shushtar Islamic Azad University. The main plot included three level...

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...
