The effects of different autumn-seeded cover crops on subsequent irrigated corn response to nitrogen fertilizer

A common crop rotation in the west Iran is wheat-fallow-corn. The fallow period after wheat harvest (during fall and winter) can lead to soil erosion, nutrient losses (e.g. nitrate leaching) and offsite movement of pesticides. This period is an ideal time to establish a cover crop. In order to investigate the effects of different autumn-bseeded cover crops on subsequent irrigated corn response ...

Population Dynamics of Plant-parasitic Nematodes on Cover Crops of Corn and Sorghum.

Buildup of plant-parasitic nematode populations on corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) were compared in 1991 and 1992. Final population densities (Pf) of Meloidogyne incognita were lower following sorghum than after soybean in both seasons, and Pf after sorghum was lower than Pf after corn in 1992. In both seasons, Pf differed among the sorghum cultivars used. ...

Effect of watering regimen on injury to corn and grain sorghum by pratylenchus species.

The effect of simulated rainfall frequency on the pathogenicity of Pratylenchus zeae and P. brachyurus was studied in four greenhouse experiments. Corn and grain sorghum were watered at different intervals during predetermined cycles to create a gradient of water-stressed plants. Each experiment included nematode and uninoculated treatments. Growth reaction of plants to different frequencies of...

SORGHUM Genotype and Environment Effects on Dynamics of Harvest Index during Grain Filling in Sorghum

chow and Sinclair, 1991), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) (Chapman et al., 1993). An approach based on a linear rate of increase in harvest index Deficiencies in the HI approach, however, may be (HI) with time after anthesis has been used as a simple means to predict grain growth and yield in many crop simulation models. When associated with use of a constant rate of HI increase applied to...
