Soil Nitrogen Controls on Grass Seedling Tiller Recruitment
Establishment of perennial grass seedlings is critical for repairing rangeland ecosystems in the Western United States. Mineral N in the soil may be one of the controlling factors for seedling establishment and may improve the competitive ability of perennial grasses compared to the annual grass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.). A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects o...
متن کاملTiller Development in Salt-Stressed Wheat
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) grain yields are highly dependent upon the number of spike-bearing tillers produced per plant. Salinity, drought, and other environmental stresses can greatly affect the development and viability of tillers. We determined the effects of soil salinity on the occurrence and rate of tiller development and the incidence of tiller abortion in spring wheat c...
متن کاملCanopy Light and Tiller Mortality in Spring Barley
Mortality of tillers in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important developmental event affecting spike number and yield potential of the crop. It has traditionally been thought that increased shading of young tillers by the developing canopy initiates the premature senescence of tillers. A series of field experiments were conducted in 1982, 1983, and 1984 at St. Paul, MN on a Waukegan silt loa...
متن کاملSoil-Cutting Simulation and Test of Oblique Rotary Tiller
A virtual prototype of oblique rotary tilling based on SPH(Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) was developed. Digital simulation and field test of oblique rotary tilling were conducted. The digital simulation suggested that soil mainly was torn to failure during oblique rotary tilling. Therefore, oblique rotary tilling could save energy. The given power consumption comparison of digital simulation a...
متن کاملPrecipitation legacies in desert grassland primary production occur through previous-year tiller density.
In arid ecosystems, current-year precipitation often explains only a small proportion of annual aboveground net primary production (ANPP). We hypothesized that lags in the response of ecosystems to changes in water availability explain this low explanatory power, and that lags result from legacies from transitions from dry to wet years or the reverse. We explored five hypotheses regarding the m...
