In this study, the effects of different pruning heights and number of branches left were evaluated to determine the most effective pruning height and optimum number of branches to be left after branch thinning to increase seed yield production of Jatropha curcas. The experiment, which was conducted at the MMSU Experimental Station from 2009-2011, was laid-out in Split plot design and was replic...

A study was conducted at the National Agriculture Research Center, Islamabad during summer 2001 on 27 genotypes of soybean to determine the correlation and path analyses of yield and its components. Significant differences among genotypes for characters viz., leaf area, chlorophyll content, first pod height, days to 50% flowering, days to flowering completion, days to pod initiation, days to 50...

sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia scop.) is a perennial forage legume has recognized for its feed value and high stability. this experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship among morphological and agronomic traits using multivariate statistical methods including correlation, regression and factor analysis. twenty one accessions of sainfoin were evaluated in a randomized complete bloc...

For crop production it is desirable for the mapping between genotype and phenotype to be consistent, such that an optimized genotype produces uniform sets of individual plants. Uniformity is strongly selected in breeding programs, usually automatically, as harvest equipment eliminates severely non-uniform individuals. Uniformity is genetically controlled, is known to be increased by interplant ...

The consumption of products made from Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) has increased in recent years in Japan. Increased consumer demand has led to recognition of the need for early varieties of this crop with high and stable yields. In order to accomplish this, more information is needed on the genetic mechanisms affecting earliness and yield. We conducted genetic analysis ...

Rice is still play important role as staple food for most of Indonesian population; consequently Indonesia greatly relying on rice production to maintain security. This plant commonly cultivated with intensive use synthetic agrochemicals such chemical fertilizers and pesticides. However, the improper may result in adverse effects environment including biotic abiotic components. study was conduc...

Seventy genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated during Kharif 2012 to study the nature and extent of correlation among yield and yield attributing characters, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of effective tillers per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant, kernel length, kernel breadth and L/B...

Many plant breeding trials often include a large number of genotypes with possibly no repeated field plots. Ineffective control of field variation could result in an inflated residual variance and/or biased estimation/prediction of genetic effects. Three hundred thirty seven (337) multi-parental spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) F2 hybrids were grown in two locations in South Dakota without r...

in order to deliberate correlation coefficient between grain yield and yield components among 31 cowpea genotypes under normal irrigation (non-stress) and drought stress (water withholidng after flowering stage until maturity) an experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at research field of university of tehran located at karaj during 2011-20...

The article presents data on study of the productivity potato early ripening varieties (Legenda, Russia; Red Scarlet, Netherlands) and middle-early (Irbitskiy Gala, Germany) grown aeroponic installations in artificial lighting conditions: three-tier adaptive installation (“Syntol” production) single-tier produced by “Biological systems” plant. Potato plants were characterized active growth deve...
