Many studies have shown that local landraces are found to be better adapted to changing climatic conditions. The screening of local land races is one of important processes to detect drought tolerant behavior of crop species to further verify in similar field situation and genomic/molecular level studies. In 2009 for main season rice, a study was done to identify different land races of rice in...

To verify and up scale promising cold tolerant rice genotypes in the western hills, participatory variety selection (PVS) activities viz; coordinated farmer’s field trials (CFFTs), FFTs prepared from Lumle , farmers’ acceptance tests (FATs), larger plot demonstrations, and upscaling activities were conducted during 2008 to 2009. Yield and yield related parameters considering farmers’ preference...

Self-Organizing Map Analysis on Peanut Yield and Agronomy Characteristics

The model system between peanut yield and agronomy characteristics which is nonlinear, irreversible and dissipative. The objective in the study was the peanut cultivated in the different ecological regions in Shandong province, aimed to establish the new non-nonlinear model based on Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to improve the cultivation information of peanut growth process. In the article, apply...

Agronomy of fibre hemp (Cannabis sati6a L.) in Europe

Fibre hemp may yield up to 25 t above ground dry matter per hectare (20 t stem dry matter ha) which may contain as much as 12 t ha cellulose, depending on environmental conditions and agronomy. Its performance is affected by the onset of flowering and seed development. Effects of cultivar and management on yield and quality were tested at three contrasting sites in Italy, the Netherlands and th...
