generation mean analysis was carried out to estimate the nature andmagnitude of gene effects for sugar yield and its component traits in sweet sorghum[sorghum bicolor (l.) moench. six basic generations, namely p1, p2, f1, f2,bc1p1, bc1p2 of four crosses involving seven diverse parents were evaluated inrainy 2009. the mean performance of the f1 in all the crosses indicated dominantgene effect fo...

to determine the correlation between grain yield and its components in some grain corn hybrids and their cause and effect relationships in various fertilizer application methods, an experiment was carried out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with two fertilizer application methods (urea foliar application and soil application method), four grain corn hybrids (ns 640, kons...

Soils submitted to the same management system in places with little variation of landscape, manifest differentiated spatial variability of their attributes and crop yield. The aim of this work was to investigate the correlation between spatial variability of the soil attributes and sugarcane yield as a result of soil topography. To achieve this objective, a test area of 42 ha located at the São...

and Applied Analysis 3 Substituting (8) into (6), multiplying the equations by the orthogonal eigenfunctions corresponding to (8), and then integrating them over the spatial domain yield a set of five ordinary differential equations for the time evolution of the following amplitudes:

Soil moisture monitoring and the characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of this hydrologic parameter at scales from small catchments to large river basins continues to receive much attention, reflecting its critical role in subsurface – land surface – atmosphere interactions and its importance to drought analysis, crop yield forecasting, irrigation planning, flood protection, ...

This study adapted precision agriculture technologies to commonly used field-scale strip trials and compared fixed and variable phosphorus (P) fertilization for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Differential global positioning receivers, yield monitors, and grid soil sampling were used. Variablerate fertilization reduced considerably the total amount of P fertilizer appli...

The methods for spatial data analysis are often based on the assumption of stationarity of the estimated parameters (Besag, 1974; Cressie, 1993). This hypothesis is patently violated when the data are characterized by information relative to predefined but unknown sub-groups of the reference population. It is clear that for spatial data which follow this hypothesis, the main analytic issue is, ...
