Studies on the function of root traits and the genetic variation in these traits are often conducted under controlled conditions using individual potted plants. Little is known about root growth under field conditions and how root traits are affected by agronomic practices in particular sowing density. We hypothesized that with increasing sowing density, root length density (root length per soi...

Maize is the most represented grain crop on world’s arable land. It mostly grown using standard sowing at an inter-row distance of 70 cm. However, growing in two rows (double-row sowing) increasingly common today. The aim this research was to determine influence different spatial distributions same population maize plants yield grains a larger range FAO hybrid maturing group. experiment lasted ...

in order to evaluate row spacing and microelements spraying on yield and some morphological traits ofpeppermint, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with fourreplications in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2010-2011. threelevels of row spacing (50 × 10, 50 × 20 and 50 × 30 cm) and two levels of microelements (no spra...

Optimum planting geometries have been shown to increase crop yields in maize-soybean intercrop systems. However, little is known about whether changes in planting geometry improve the seasonal water use of maize and soybean intercrops. We conducted two different field experiments in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of changes in planting geometry on water use efficiency (WUE) and evapot...

potato (solanum tuberosum l.) cultivation in two different climates causes difference in its growth process.the most frequently used indicators of growth for plants are the tuber growth rate (tgr), crop growth rate (cgr) and leaf area index (lai). shoot dry weight is the easiest, quickest and least costly component to measure the competitive features of plants.the results of some studies showed...

Strip-till has been used at a large scale in east central Kansas as an alternative to earlier planting dates under a no-till system. To determine the effects of planting corn (Zea mays) under previously established strip-tilled fertilized rows, experiments were conducted on an Osage silty clay loam soil in 2006 and 2008 and on a Woodson silt loam soil in 2009, 2010, and 2011 using three differe...

this study investigated the effect of sowing date and limited water allocation management for single irrigation on the grain yield of rainfed barley. the experiment was a split-split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications from 2004 to 2006 at the main station of the dryland agricultural research institute at maragheh. the treatments comprised three sowing da...

A field trial was conducted at the research farm of RRL, Jorhat during 1995 and 1996 to study the performance of Mentha Piperita under varying dates of planting and row spacings, maximum herbage and oil yield were obtained from January plants crops. Yield deceased when planting was delayed planting at a closer row spacing of 45 cm recorded the maximum herbage yield of 61'92 q/a while the yield ...

The experiment on “Performance of quinoa (Chenopodium Willd.) under varied sowing windows and planting patterns” was carried out at Main Research Station, Hebbal, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru, during Kharif-2019. constituted four dates (D1: July second fortnight, D2: August first D3: fortnight D4: September fortnight) patterns (S1: 30 × 15 cm, S2: 45 S3: 60 cm S4: 75 cm) replicated thrice laid in split...
