wofost is a crop growth simulation model which can simulate crop growth and yield components of annual crops dynamically in the various stages of growth period. some parts of the model outputs (crop yield and crop water requirements) can be used in irrigation planning and management of water resources. in this study, a field research was carried out in a randomized complete block design with th...

The aims of this study were to determine hatching performance, body and yolk weight at hatching, the growth rate during the yolk absorption and yolk conversion efficiency of Black Sea trout, brook trout and their hybrid larvae, and to compare the relationships between length, total wet weight, dry yolk body weights of alevins and degree-days. The Black Sea trout egg has shorter incubation durat...

One of the main goals of selection schemes in beef cattle populations is to increase carcass weight at slaughter. Live weights at different growth stages are frequently used as selection criteria under the hypothesis that they usually have a high and positive genetic correlation with weight at slaughter. However, the presence of compensatory growth may bias the prediction ability of early weigh...
