Global climate change is predicted to shift seasonal temperature and precipitation patterns. An increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as heat waves and prolonged droughts is predicted, but there are high levels of uncertainty about the nature of local changes. Crop adaptation will be important in reducing potential damage to agriculture. Crop diversity may enhance resilience to cl...

Large-scale community-based content management requires “good” domain abstractions and, therefore, a serious investment into application ontology. In an interdisciplinary project with our Art History colleagues who are working in the subject domain of “Political Iconography” we are gaining substantial insight into their subject-oriented working (SOWing) modes and into initial requirements for a...

Abstract Today, with the world’s growing population, global climate change, rising temperatures, increasing rainfall in some areas, and contrarily, severe droughts it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow abundant high-quality farming crops. This means that issue of food security will become more complicated future. One priorities solving this problem modernize agricultural sector by using...

Habitat restoration projects are often conducted when prior use or extraction of natural resources results in land degradation. The success of restoration programmes, however, is variable, and studies that provide evidence of long term outcomes are valuable for evaluation purposes. This study focused on the restoration of vegetation within a limestone quarry in Dorset, UK between 1997 and 2014....

in order to study the effect of planting date on duration of phenological periods in wheat cultivars, a randomized compelet block design experiment with four replications was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources research station. the factors were eight sowing dates (14 december, 20 january, 18 february, 20 march, 16 april, 21 may, 30 july and 6 august) an...

In northern Europe, replacing winter barley with winter wheat as the preceding crop for winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.; WOSR) often results in a delayed WOSR sowing and poor autumn growth. Based on data from a field experiment running in 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2012/2013, this study aims (i) to investigate how a delayed sowing method affects seed yield, N offtake with the seeds, and a...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects splitting application 30 kg N ha-1 on growth, yield and economics soybean (Glycine max var. Dea-won) in semi-arid sub-tropical Afghanistan. Besides no-N-fertilization control, urea (30 ha-1) was applied fields four-splits: S1, one time basal at sowing; S2, two-splits 50% sowing 10 DAS (days after sowing); S3, three-splits 33% sowing, 20 ...

background and objectives: sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) is the major crop in khorasan province which is mainly grown in spring. however, autumn sowing has a lot of advantages including lower crop water requirement and higher water use efficiency. accordingly, this research was performed to compare the yield of storage organ in spring and autumn-sown sugar beet and determine the most appropriat...

The unpredictability and large fluctuation of the climatic conditions in rainfed regions do affect spring wheat yield and grain quality. These variations offer the opportunity for the production of better quality wheat. The effect of variable years, locations and sowing managements on wheat grain yield and quality was studied through field experiments using three genotypes, three locations for ...
