in order to apply suitable methods for sugar beet seed sowing and determine the relation between yield and growth parameters in saline soils, two salt tolerant progeny lines were sown by five methods for two years (1995 and 1996) using a split plot design. growth parameters such as leaf area index, crop growth rate, total dry weight and relative growth rat were analysed. ph and ec of the soil a...

An experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2018 and 2019 at research farm College Agriculture Tripura, Lembucherra, West to identify a viable agro-technique for improving productivity medium-duration pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp]. Treatments comprised all possible combination no nipping (N0 ), @ 45 days after sowing (DAS) (N45), 60 DAS (N60) 90 (N90) with row-to-row...

A site was prepared with 2 distinctly different soil depths and a vineyard of 'Concord' grapes (Vitis labrusca L.) was established with in-row spacings of 1.52, 1.83, 2.13, 2.44, and 3.05 m. Wider in-row vine spacings resulted in increased vine yields on deeper soils to the point that yields per meter of cordon and per hectare were not reduced; but yield per meter of cordon and per hectare was ...

in order to investigate the competition indices of intercropping wheat and chickpea under nitrogen consumption, an experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2009 – 2010 in gonbad kavous university farm. planting patterns factor included four levels of sole cropping wheat (w), two rows of wheat with one row of chickpea (w2c1) on...

Image processing algorithms for individual corn plant and plant stem center identification were developed. These algorithms were applied to mosaicked crop row image for automatically measuring corn plant spacing at early growth stages. These algorithms utilized multiple sources of information for corn plant detection and plant center location estimation including plant color, plant morphologica...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new technique for row spacing measurement in a wire array using giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor. The self-rectifying property of the GMR-based probes leads to accurately detection of the magnetic field fluctuations caused by surface-breaking cracks in conductive materials, shape-induced magnetic anisotropy, etc. The ability to manufacture probes h...

Precision planters are recently being adopted for seeding canola to improve crop establishment and seed yield. This study determined the effect of using precision (30.5 50.8 cm row width) conventional air drill seeders at different rates (20, 40, 60, 80, 160 seeds m −2 ) on plant density The was conducted 4 yr (2016 2019) three locations in southern Alberta. Plant increased with higher followin...

The size and activity of the soil microbial biomass was studied in the plant row and in the inter-row of a sugarcane field under burning or green cane harvesting. The sites sampled were on the long-term trash management trial situated at Mount Edgecombe. Soils were sampled to 30 cm depth in (i) the centre of the plant row, (ii) 30 cm out from the row centre and (iii) 60 cm out from the row cent...
