Responses of Canola to Different Row and Plant Spacings

Evaluation of seed cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production and quality in relation to the different irrigation levels and two row spacings

The effect of row spacings and irrigation levels on the earliness of seed production of cotton was investigated under the Mediterranean environment of central Greece. This particular cotton growing area is exposed to risk of autumn rainfall that might cause low seed quality in fields allocated primarily for seed production. Two varieties of cotton, Celia and Hersi, were planted in two row spaci...

Evaluation of Agronomic Attributes of Canola Cultivars under Different Plant Densities and Application of Humic Acid

To investigate the effect of humic acid application on agronomic characteristics of canola (Brassica napus L.) genotypes in different plant densities, a factorial split-plot experiment was performed using a randomized complete block design with three replications in the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. Plant density at three levels of 40, 60 and 80 plants/m2 and humic acid at ...

Corn grain yield responses to tillage systems and plant densities

Growth response and ion distribution of two canola varieties to different potassium to sodium ratios

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a crop relatively tolerant to salt. The effect of different ratios of NaCl/KCl was studied in two cultivars (Hyola308 and Kristina) of Rapeseed in 2002. Canola seedlings were grown in Hoagland’s solutions, which were salinized by different ratios of NaCl/KCl. The treatments or KCl:NaCl ratios were 0:0 (control);10:10; 20:0 (Total Added Salt or TAS=20 mol.m-3), 0:...

Corn Response to within Row Plant Spacing

Key planting factors that influence corn stand establishment includes uniform depth and spacing of seed, correct seed population and optimizing the soil environment for rapid germination and uniform emergence. Other variables affecting stand establishment are seedbed quality (including soil moisture and temperature), seed quality and planter speed. Differences among fields for stand establishme...
