The development of highly productive short-stemmed winter rye varieties that do not lodge under intensive cultivation technologies is one the main breeding tasks. current paper has presented study results a new variety ‘Evrika’ according to economically valuable traits in North-West region Russian Federation. was developed by Leningrad Scientific Research Institute Agriculture «Belogorka» based...

Lodging is a significant risk in intense cereal production and may severely reduce seed yield and quality. Lodging is strongly influenced by cultivar and husbandry factors including sowing date, seed rate, drilling depth and rate of nitrogen application. A number of PGRs are known that reduce stem length, thereby lowering the leverage of the ear and other parts of the shoot. Increased stem stab...

Near-isogenic hybrids (NIHs), developed from crossing maize (Zea mays L.) backcross-derived lines (BDLs) differing for the parental alleles at a major QTL for leaf ABA concentration (L-ABA), were field-tested for 2 years under well-watered and water-stressed conditions. Differences among NIHs for L-ABA and other morpho-physiological traits were not affected by water regimes. On average, the QTL...

Increasing irrigation levels from 37% to 84% of Class "A" Pan evaporation produced a linear increase in cane yield from 65 to 146 tonslha. The response with burnt cane was greater due to more severe moisture stress, and there was also an increase in cane yield between 84% and 100% Pan which was absent in trashed cane. Maximum sucrose content, as well as brix, purity and recoverable sugar % cane...
