Declines in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) crop quality may result from delaying harvest to allow for greater total yield. An accurate, reliable, rapid and inexpensive method to estimate yield before harvest not requiring direct weight measurements would assist cabbage growers and handlers in harvest scheduling. Results from 3 years of study during which a tool to predict cabbage yie...

abstract suitable seedling is one of the most important factors of onion growth and yield in transplanting method (tm). in order to investigation effects of different seedling size and age on marketable yield , biological yield, harvest index and some qualitative characters in onion an experiment was couducted at the agricultural research center of east azarbayjan in 2008. the factorial was con...

Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES-maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Bayero University Kano and Audu Bako College of Agriculture Dambat...

in order to evaluate the effects of harvesting dates on qualitative traits of safflower genotypes, an experiment was carried out under field conditions in the agricultural faculty of urmia university in 2009-10. factorial experiments were based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications was used under field condition. genotypes included isfahan landrace, sina, il111 and pi25053...

In order to study the effects of irrigation and planting date on selected traits of ajowan (Carum copticum BENTH. & HOOK.F.) an experiment was conducted in two successive conducive seasons of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 in Birjand. The experimental design was a split plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. In the present study, two irrigation treatments (irrigation terminat...

frost occurrence during plant growth created special conditions to evaluate the effects of planting date on dry matter content and agronomical characteristics of potato cultivars influenced by natural frost in field conditions. a split-plot experiment with three replications was carried out to compare three planting dates, as main plot, from 1 to 21 november with 10 day intervals and four culti...

in order to determine the appropriate plant density of spotted bean in yasouj, a field experiment was conducted in 2008 as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. three spotted bean cultivars (keshavarzi, talash and oshtori) were sown at five plant densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 plant.m-2). results showed that effect of plant density, cultivar and interactio...

drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which can affect the growth of a plant, thereby curbing crop yield. identification of effective morphological traits is the main aim of each breeding program. our objective was to identify agronomic traits associated with changes in grain yield of wheat under irrigated and drought conditions. to address this objective, grain yield and...
