Grain yields with limited water.
Plant reproduction is sensitive to water deficits, especially during the early phases when development may cease irreversibly even though the parent remains alive. Grain numbers decrease because of several developmental changes, especially ovary abortion in maize (Zea mays L.) or pollen sterility in small grains. In maize, the water deficits inhibit photosynthesis, and the decrease in photosynt...
متن کاملEvaluation of grain yield in sorghum hybrids under water stress.
Sorghum grain yield can be significantly affected by climatic changes, especially drought and high temperature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hybrids of grain sorghum grown under normal irrigation conditions or water stress in order to select those likely to be more tolerant of drought. Forty-nine hybrids were grown in a randomized block design experiment, with three replications. T...
متن کاملPlant Sterol and Policosanol Characterization of Hexane Extracts from Grain Sorghum, Corn, and their DDGS
Plant sterols (PS) and policosanols (PC) have been attributed with plasma cholesterol-lowering properties in humans. Hexane extracts from grain sorghum, corn and their distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS), an important co-product of ethanol production, contain these health promoting compounds, which could be used to develop health promoting dietary products. However, limited information ...
متن کاملRelative Phytotoxicity of Dicyandiamide and Availability of its Nitrogen to Cotton, Corn, and Grain Sorghum
The nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (cyanoguanidine) (DCD), can improve fertilizer N efficiency; however, yield reductions and phytotoxicity from the use of DCD have been reported. A green house experiment was designed to determine the effect of DCD on growth, chlorophyll concentration and nutrient concentration of corn ( Zea mays L.), cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.), and grain sorghum ...
متن کاملEffect of watering regimen on injury to corn and grain sorghum by pratylenchus species.
The effect of simulated rainfall frequency on the pathogenicity of Pratylenchus zeae and P. brachyurus was studied in four greenhouse experiments. Corn and grain sorghum were watered at different intervals during predetermined cycles to create a gradient of water-stressed plants. Each experiment included nematode and uninoculated treatments. Growth reaction of plants to different frequencies of...
