Garlic Productivity and Profitability as Affected by Seed Clove Size, Planting Density and Planting Method

effects of planting method, plant density and seed clove size on yield of hamedan garlic

an experiment was conducted at ecbatan research station in hamedan in two years (1998-99) to study the effects of planting density and methods and also seed clove size on yield of hamedan garlic. the experiment was in factorial 3 x 3x 3 in randomized complete block design with three cultivation methods, three sizes of seeds and three plant densities in three replications. the data were analized...

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence as affected by environmental factors and planting depth

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence in response todrought (Polyethylene glycol 8000) and salinity stress (NaCl), temperature, pH andplanting depth were studied in laboratory and greenhouse experiments. Base,optimum and ceiling germination temperature were estimated as 3.35, 21.24 and35.04 oC, respectively. Isabgol seed is rather tolerant to low water potential and high...

Sunflower summer-planting yield as affected by plant population and nitrogen application rates

A New Concept for Seed Precision Planting

Mechanically driven seed metering devices currently perform their function efficiently and are a good solution to the problem of metering rates as seed is planted, but there are many voids that could be filled with a substantial change to the metering process. Electronically controlled seed singulation devices can address many of the inefficiencies experienced in a mechanically driven seed mete...

Effects of grain sorghum planting density and processing method on nutrient digestibility and retention by ruminants.

Grain sorghum grown in 38-cm rows (high density [HD]) or 76-cm rows (normal density [ND]) was treated as follows: steam-flaked (SF), high-moisture-harvested followed by rolling and ensiling (HM), or dry-rolled (DR). Resulting grains were evaluated using lambs in two 5 x 5 Latin square digestion trials. Treatment diets contained either SF-HD, SF-ND, HM-HD, HM-ND, or DR-ND grain sorghum in two tr...
