A field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in 2014/15 cropping season at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center experimental site (at Wondo Genet station). Two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, WG-Hi...

In the tropics, cowpea is often intercropped with maize. Little is known about the effect of the intercropped maize on N2-fixation by cowpea or how intercropping affects nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency or soil N-uptake of both crops. Cowpea and maize were grown as a monocrop at row spacings of 40, 50, 60, 80, and 120 cm and intercropped at row spacing of 40, 50, and 60 cm. Plots were fertili...

to evaluate the effect of row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and agronomical traits of common bean cultivars, a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008 and 2009 cropping years. experimental treatments were row spacing in three levels of 20, 30 and 40 cm as main plot an...

manual planting of sugar-beet stecklings is a very laborious and time-consuming opera-tion. to overcome the problems, and decrease the cost of operation to a reasonable level, a semi-automatic steckling transplanter was designed. the suitability of the steckling trans-planter with regard to the agrotechnical requirements of sugar-beet stecklings was stud-ied and the main field performance param...

background and objectives: potato (solanum tuberosum l.) plant is one of leading agricultural products in the world. it is the fourth most cultivated food crop after wheat, rice and maize. planting density and weight of minituber are the factors influencing on the yield and yield components on seed tuber production in potato. plant density strongly affected yield, both by number and by weight a...

ett, 1999), planted early and at low populations; thus, relying on the sorghum hybrid to adapt to the growing Typical planting recommendations for dryland grain sorghum [Sorconditions by tillering. Research by Jones and Johnson ghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in the southern High Plains are to delay (1991, 1997) demonstrated that the optimum planting date, until soil water is adequate for crop establ...

In the context of precision viticulture, remote sensing in the optical domain offers a potential way to map crop structure characteristics, such as vegetation cover fraction, row orientation or leaf area index, that are later used in decision support tools. A method based on the RGB color model imagery acquired with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed to describe the vineyard 3D macro-...
