Poor emergence resulting in inadequate stand establishment is a major problem associated with direct-seeded rice production, especially for semidwarf cultivars. In order to gain information on the problem, plant type related to gibberellic acid (GA3) and seeding depth was studied. A total of 21 cultivars including 9 semidwarfs and 12 talls had seed treated with GA3 at 25 parts per million (ppm)...

The problem of cooperative effect and competition between trees in forest has been considered. Special attention has been paid to the possibility of twofold increase in timber yield due to the dramatic decrease of intraspecific competition between individual trees. Use has been made of a large experimental area (about 50.000 hectares in mountainous Kirghizia) to demonstrate that the drastic inc...

Most afforestation hardwood plantations in the Central Hardwood Forest Region, USA, are established with bareroot seedlings planted in late winter or early spring. This brief planting season is preferred for several logistical and physiological reasons, yet interest in fall planting has increased as a means to extend the planting season. We evaluated effects of a wide range of planting dates on...

in order to study the phonological stages and growth period of invasive weed ranunculus ficaria based on degree days and to study the effect of planting depth on sprouting the tubers roots of this weed, two separate experiments were conducted in crd with 5 replications at ferdwosi university of mashhad in 2008. in the first study germinated tubers were planted in 5 cm depth and the observations...

Current planting depth recommendations for corn (Zea mays L.) producers range from 38 to 51 mm in the midwestern United States. Characterization of emergence and soil conditions at a depths under later-planted scenarios is important as days adequate field work April have been reducing may affect dates. Field studies were conducted Ohio 2017 2019 determine effects type on emergence, growth, grai...
