Four cultivars that had performed more favorably of several evaluated in 2000 Spring studies were compared on three plastic mulches and a bare ground control in Spring 2001. All cultivars performed similarly on the plastic, for the most part all performing better than on the bare ground. As in previous studies, the percentage of plants forming marketable was less than desirable, ranging from a ...

Upland rice is typically grown under slash-and-burn systems in the mountainous regions of northern Laos by resource-poor farmers for subsistence. Upland rice cultivars are all traditional and no fertilizer inputs are used. In these systems, grain yields average only 1.7 t/ha. A multi-site experiment was conducted in Luang Prabang province to examine cultivar and fertilizer effects on grain yiel...

the life table parameters of schizaphis graminum (rondani) (hemiptera: aphididae) on four commercial cultivars of wheat (kohdasht, pastor, tajan and zagros) were determined in laboratory conditions. fertility life table were constructed using age-specific survivorship (lx) and age-specific fecundity (mx) and subsequently analyzed using jackknife method and anova. there were significant differen...
