Production potential of gram based intercropping systems under rainfed conditions

Further Evidence of the Effects of Ratoon Stunting Disease on Production under Irrigated and Rainfed Conditions

In a field experiment under rainfed conditions, reductions in cane yield over three crops due to infection by ratoon stunting disease (RSD) ranged from 41% to 19 % respectively in varieties N17, N14, N21, NCo376 and N19. Losses in Nl2 were 10%, and in N23 and N22 were 7% and 1%. In a similar trial conducted under irrigation, the greatest reductions in cane yield over two crops were 32% in varie...

Identification of potential traits and selection criteria for yield improvement in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes under rainfed conditions

Sesame is an important oilseed crop in India. To determine potential traits and selection criteria for yield improvement, ninety sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The data collected on 13 characters were subjected to three different analyses. In variability analysis, high heritability was accompanied by a high genet...

forage production of eight annual medic cultivars under rainfed conditions of golestan province

medics are native to semi-arid areas around the mediterranean sea and have long been used in degraded pastures in the region. annual medics are now widely distributed throughout the world, largely in areas with mild, rainy winters and alkaline soils. this study was conducted at a site located in the north east of golestan province (55° 57´ e, 37° 48´ n), on a silty clay loam soil in 2002 and 20...
