In China, the ridge-furrow water conservation planting (RC) system is advantageous for improving crop yields and rainwater use efficiency. In RC planting system, plastic film-mulched ridges are employed for water harvesting while the furrows serve as infiltration and planting belts. To optimize the RC system and to overcome problems due to the lack of water in semi-humid areas at risk of drough...

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of planting methods and tuber weight on growth and yield of local yam cultivars obtained by the minisett technique from white yam (D. rotundata) in Gabon. Trials were carried out in 2014 and 2015 at the experimental ground of the Higher National Institute of Agronomy and Biotechnology, under natural conditions of lightness, temperature and rela...

Ceratocystis wilt, caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata, has become the most important disease in eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp. and hybrids) plantations in Brazil. To further our understanding of the epidemiology of this disease, we surveyed eucalyptus plantations in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia that were known to have Ceratocystis wilt or were thought to have been planted with infected roote...

background and objectives:due to increase in the world population and increasing concerns about the future food security, shrinking the yield gap has became a hot area of research in field crops. estimation the amount of yield gap and determination of it’s causes requires using proper methods. boundary line analysis is a statistical method that can quantify the response of yield to an environme...

ett, 1999), planted early and at low populations; thus, relying on the sorghum hybrid to adapt to the growing Typical planting recommendations for dryland grain sorghum [Sorconditions by tillering. Research by Jones and Johnson ghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in the southern High Plains are to delay (1991, 1997) demonstrated that the optimum planting date, until soil water is adequate for crop establ...
