The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects corn-planting population, using two conventional (Conv) and brown-midrib (BMR) hybrids, maturity stage at harvest on forage dry-matter (DM) yield, silage quality, in-vitro fiber digestibility. conducted in fields with contrasting production potential, where both corn hybrids were planted a theoretical planting population 59,000, 79,000, 99...

Aeroponics is a modern and soilless technology that used for the efficient production of pre-basic seed potatoes, namely minitubers. This study aimed to evaluate effects cultivar type planting material on minitubers in aeroponic facility Guča, Serbia, at short, 7-day harvest intervals. Although cultivation prolonged vegetative cycle all five investigated cultivars, dynamics minituber formation ...

to evaluate the anti-transpiration effect on yield and yield components of corn late yield 704 under drought stress experiment split factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in spring 2012 at the research station, kermanshah. and paclobutrazol treatments include salicylic acid, which is taking on two levels. based on the values determined in the following order foliar ...

The spatial and temporal dynamics of Meloidogyne incognita, relative to soybean shoot and root growth in field microplots, were determined at 11 sampling dates during a growing season. The population dynamics of M. incognita on soybean were dependent on initial population (Pi), soil moisture, and root spatial distribution. Final egg and juvenile population densities were greatest in plots with ...

Irradiation as an alternative quarantine treatment has been under consideration by the International Consultative Group on Food Irradiation. This study was conducted on early and late season ‘Rio Red’ grapefruit to investigate the effects of harvest date, storage, and low dose irradiation on functional constituents, and quality. Fruit was treated with 0, 70, 200, 400 and 700 Gy and then stored ...

Agricultural intensification in America has replaced native warm-season grasses (NWSG) with introduced forages causing wildlife habitat loss and population declines for the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and similar ground-nesting birds. Reintroducing NWSGs onto managed grasslands to reverse grassland bird population declines lacks information about appropriate multi-purpose management...

During the 1991 and 1992 soybean growing seasons, field plots were established in South Carolina to study the effect of planting date on at-planting nematode densities and subsequent yield losses caused by Hoplolaimus columbus. The susceptible and intolerant soybean cv. Braxton was planted on five dates from to May to 28 June in 1991 and from 12 May to 28 June in 1992. Nematodes were recovered ...

Storage of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit in a high CO2 (3 kPa) and low O2 (1.5 kPa) controlled atmosphere (CA) reduced firmness and titratable acidity (TA) loss during long term storage. This CA environment also induced development of internal CO2-injury (brown-heart) and slowed the disappearance of watercore. The symptoms of internal CO2-injury were first detected 15 days after CA establishment and the s...

Industrial fishing has been identified as a cause for life history changes in many harvested stocks, mainly because of the intense fishing mortality and its size-selectivity. Because these changes are potentially evolutionary, we investigate evolutionarily stable life-histories and yield in an energy-allocation state-dependent model for Northeast Arctic cod Gadus morhua. We focus on the evoluti...
