Optimum LAI for Yield Maximisation of Finger Millet under Irrigated Conditions

Effects of Environmental Stress on Growth, Radiation Use Efficiency and Yield of Finger Millet (eleucine Coracana)

Finger millet landraces viz., TZA-01 and TZM-01 were grown in glasshouses under two moisture regimes (fully irrigated and after drought) to investigate the effects of environmental stress on the growth, SPAD measurement, radiation use efficiency and yield of finger millet (Eleucine coracana). The drought treatment was imposed at 28 DAS beyond which no irrigation was applied to the droughted tre...

Varibility of yield and other plant characteristics of barley under irrigated and rainfed conditions

Genetic Variation and Agronomic Evaluation of Chickpea Cultivars for Grain Yield and Its Components Under Irrigated and Rainfed Growing Conditions

Water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. In order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Agricu...

Phosphorus use efficiency, grain yield, and quality of triticale and durum wheat under irrigated conditions

After nitrogen stress, phosphorus is the second most widely occurring nutrient deficiency in cereal systems around the world. The objectives of this study were: (1) to look at the effect of changes in phosphorus use efficiency and responsiveness on grain yield and quality of triticale and durum wheat with respect to an old tall durum wheat of the early 1940s, Barrigon Yaqui. A two-year field ex...

Stool Populations and Yield of Sugarcane under Irrigated Conditions at Pongola

Yield per unit area increased rapidly to a maximum as the number of stools increased, and either remained relatively constant or declined slightly with higher stool densities, depending upon the particular component of yield. The results imply that under favourable growing conditions, maximum yield per unit area can be achieved with relatively low stool populations. There is considerable potent...
