In order to study effect of salicylic acid and calcium foliar application on growth, yield and yield components of strawberry plants as a factorial in completely randomized experimental design with four replications. This factors included of salicylic acid in 3 levels (0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 mM) and calcium in 2 levels (2.5 and 5 mM) spray on strawberry. Results showed that salicylic acid (0.25 mM)...

This paper deals with yield mapping on the basis of monitor yield data. Every value of the yield map is determined by fitting paraboloid yield surface textures on floating neighbourhoods, but in a robust way so that the influence of outliers is bounded or completely annihilated. The neighbourhood used for fitting the paraboloid cone looks like a huge butterfly flying along the harvest track. In...

Addressing concerns about future food supply and climate change requires management practices that maximize productivity per unit of arable land while reducing negative environmental impact. On-farm data were evaluated to assess energy balance and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of irrigated maize in Nebraska that received large nitrogen (N) fertilizer (183 kg of N · ha(-1)) and irrigation water...

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, University of Rajshahi to study the yield and yield components of wheat as affected by phosphorus fertilization. The experiment consisted of two factors i.e. (i) three wheat varieties viz., Shatabdi, Bijoy and Prodip and (ii) five levels of phosphorus viz. 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg P2O5...

Abstract Crosses were made between three varieties and seven accessions of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) in all possible combinations to establish 10 × 10 full diallel set. Variances for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant or highly significant for all the characters indicating additive and non-additive gene actions played predominant rol...

In order to study seed yield and seed yield components in bean under reduced irrigation condition and assessment drought tolerance of genotypes, 15 lines of White beans were evaluated in two separate RCB design with 3 replications under stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties in terms of traits under study, indicating...

The sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense) is an important forage crop. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms related to forage yield and the 4 forage yield component traits in this forage crop. In this study, a linkage map was constructed with 124 assigned SSR markers using an F2 mapping population derived from the crossing of sorghum Tx623A and sudangrass S...

For more than 100 years, eucalypts have been generally recognized around the world as among the fastest growing trees. Height growth of 10 m (32 ft) a year during the second or third year of growth has frequently been recorded. Yields 3 of 20 m per ha per year (286 ft/acre/yr) are generally considered as only better than average in Brazil and the Republic of South Africa. Even in California wit...
