The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, university of Rajshahi, to study the effect of irrigation and sowing method on yield and yield attributes of mustard. The experiment consists of two factors i) irrigation viz. no irrigation (I0), one irrigation (I1)and two irrigations (I2) ii) sowing method viz. line sowing method (M1...

To assess the suitability of Leguminous species in rice intercropping systems, physiological and morphological characteristics of Crotalaria juncea, Cajanus cajan, Mucuna pruriens var. cochinchinensis, Calopogonium mucunoides, Aeschynomene histrix and Stylosanthes hamata were determined in monoculture. C. cajan and S. hamata were selected and intercropped with two upland rice cultivars (WAB56-5...

Successful establishment of plants is limited by both biotic and abiotic conditions and their interactions. Seedling establishment is also used as a direct measure of habitat suitability, but transient changes in vegetation might provide windows of opportunity allowing plant species to colonize sites which otherwise appear unsuitable. We aimed to study spatio-temporal variability in the effects...

Combining ability, gene action and heterosis was studied for no. of days to 50% tasseling, no. of days to 50% silking, flag leaf area, plant height, no. of rows/ear, no. of grains/row, 300-grain weight and grain yield/plant in a Factorial Mating in Randomized Completely Randomized Design conducted separately in spring and autumn sowing dates, 2013 through hybridization between three parents of ...

Spatial monitoring of the sowing date plays an important role in crop yield estimation at the regional scale. The feasibility of using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for early season monitoring of the sowing dates of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) fields is explored in this paper. Polarimetric SAR responses of six parameters, relying on polarization decomposition methods, we...

in order to apply suitable methods for sugar beet seed sowing and determine the relation between yield and growth parameters in saline soils, two salt tolerant progeny lines were sown by five methods for two years (1995 and 1996) using a split plot design. growth parameters such as leaf area index, crop growth rate, total dry weight and relative growth rat were analysed. ph and ec of the soil a...

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...
