The field research was carried out at the Látókép AGTC KIT research area of the University of Debrecen in EasternHungary, on the area of the aeolain loess of the Hajdúság. We examined the effects of the sowing time on the phytopathogenic characteristics and yield production by applying various fertilizer treatments on two different sunflower genotypes (NK Ferti, PR64H42) in 2012 and 2013. We ap...

In order to evaluate the effects of sowing date and intra rows spacing on yield, yield components and some phytochemical characteristics in Roselle, a field experiment was conducted as a split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013 and 2014 growing seasons. Five sowing dates were considered as the main plots (11th and 30th of March, 14th of April, ...

Echium (Echium plantagineum L.) is an alternative oilseed crop in summer-wet temperate regions that provides floral resources to pollinators. Its seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as stearidonic acid, which is desired highly by the cosmetic industry. Seeds were sown in field plots over three years in western Minnesota in spring (early-sown) or early summer (late-sown), and flower ab...

This study was conducted to determine whether selecting an optimum sowing date couldimprove yield. The experiment consisted of sowing a film-covered, drip-irrigated cotton field onfour sowing dates from April to May in 2011-2012 at the Agrometeorological ExperimentalStation of Wulanwusu, which was in an arid region of north-western China. Late sowing datesproduced less yield and water-use effic...

field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of sowing dates and irrigation on seed quality of a spring-type safflower cultivar, in karaj-iran, during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. a split plot design based on a randomized complete block layout with three replications was used in which sowing dates and irrigation treatments comprised the main plot and sub-plot, respectively. the...

wheat, cv. alvand, under late sowing condition and comparison with conventional sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in 2009-2010. the factors were seven levels of priming by sa, including control or untreated seeds, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm sa and two sowing dates including conventional sowing date (23 october) and late sowing (22 november). results showed that prim...

Septoria tritici is the causal agent of leaf blotch in wheat and among the most damaging fungal cereal pathogens in the humid regions of central Europe. The percentage of the leaf area colonized by S. tritici was recorded weekly between April and July every season between 2004 and 2010. A total of 11 cultivars with moderate susceptibility [ratings of 4e6 on a 1 (resistant) to 9 (susceptible) sc...

to evaluate the effects of on-farm seed priming treatments and sowing dates on rate and percentage of seedling emergence, biological yield and some physiological indices of corn hybrid (sc. 260) an experiment was conducted in hamedan, iran in 2010. a split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. main plots include three sowing dates (early, on-time and ...
