Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to determine the influence of transplant age on growth and yield of ‘Dixie’ and ‘Senator’ summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.). Dry weight and leaf area measurements indicated that 28to 35-day-old greenhouse-grown transplants grew more slowly after transplanting than plants that were 10,14, or 21 days old. Older transplants flowered earlier; however,...

Transplanting is a core part of factory nurseries and key factor in determining the healthy growth seedlings. While transplanting has single operational function, complete process sorting, replanting complex. This paper innovatively proposes an intelligent multi-functional seedling system, where functions can be achieved with machine. strategies dynamic detection during performing within same t...

Performance of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) was evaluated on twelve transplanting dates that were arranged at 30 days interval; during 2013-2014 on experimental field of Wondo Genet agricultural research center; using RCBD design with three replications. Transplanting time exerted a very highly significant (p<0.0001) influence on plant height, flower yield and essential oil yield; essen...

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) germplasm, isogenic except for loci controlling male-sterility (ms(1)) and nodulation (rj(1)) was utilized to investigate the effects of reproductive tissue development and nitrogen source on the initiation of monocarpic senescence. The experimental genotypes (Ms(1)Rj(1), Ms(1)rj(1), ms(1)Rj(1), and ms(1)rj(1), were selected from a cross between N69-2774 and N59...

Four semi-dwarf rices (Oryza sativa L.) differing in percentage of grain protein, grown in a flooded field receiving basal N fertilization, had a peak activity of root glutamate dehydrogenase 4 weeks after transplanting. A lower peak occurred during panicle formation 10 weeks after transplanting. The percentage of N of the active leaf blades was also highest 4 weeks after transplanting. The act...

background and objectives: recently, double-cropping of rice in mazandaran due to favorable climate condition is highly interested by the rice farmers. so that, after harvesting of main crop of rice, farmers can grow again one crop of rice during summer, especially in the years which climate conditions are suitable for double cropping of rice in a rice-rice growing system. therefore, developmen...
