277 Lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus L.) is mostly grown on the residual soil moisture in rice-fallows as utera (relay) crop (Gupta and Bhowmick, 2005; Mondal and Ghosh, 2005). But low productivity especially under utera system is the major problem associated with this crop (Bhowmick et al., 2005). Even there is a limited scope for agronomic manipulation under rice-utera system although it has potent...

The temporal pattern of control by phytochrome of the enzyme lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.1.13) in the m ustard seedling (Sinapis alba L.) is described. The biosynthetic system which produces lipoxygenase does not respond to phytochrome (Pfr) up to 33.25 h after sowing (25 °C ). By this time the control by Pfr comes suddenly and fully into play. At 48 h after sowing the system escapes from the control...

Maize and Indian mustard are significant crops in semi-arid climate zones of India. Improved water management requires precise scheduling of irrigation, which in turn requires an accurate computation of daily crop evapotranspiration (ETc). Daily crop evapotranspiration comes as a product of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and the growth stage specific crop coefficients modified for daily var...

Abstract Sowing date and seed rate influence crop establishment, growth, yield profitability. The growth of field beans (Vicia faba) in response to sowing was examined over three seasons, 2016–2019, Teagasc, Oak Park, Carlow, Ireland. Early winter sowings (October) established better than late November January. No significant difference found establishment from mid-February mid-March. Yield gen...

in order to assess the impact of different sowing dates on yield and yield components of wheat genotypeswith different growth habits, a two years study (2007-2009) using a split plot in randomized completeblock design with three replications was conducted in kabootarabad agricultural research station ofisfahan. three sowing dates of 12 oct., 1 nov., and 21 nov. were main plots and 15 genotypes ...

Different responses of plant genotypes to the change of environmental conditions have been the most important and challenging issue for plant breeders and agronomists for the selection of superior genotypes. Cumin is one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants in Iran that are strongly affected by varying environmental conditions. This study was aimed to investigate E×SD interaction...

The broomrape, Orobanche crenata Forsk (Orobanchaceae) is a serious annual parasitic weed that causes considerable losses in many major crops including faba bean (Vicia L.). In Egypt: due to O. crenata parasitism may reach 40 100%. Despite using several methods control crenata, success has not been achieved. impact of different tactics on crenata is well understood....
