The potential yields of Jenguma soybean (110 calendars days) a medium maturity variety recommended for northern Ghana were simulated using the AquaCrop model with daily climatic data taken from the Wa Meteorological Station. The climate was delineated to be the only constraint limiting the potential yields with the soil serving only as a reservoir to store the rainfall while other factors affec...

In order to make mechanized planting economically viable, the present spring planting period for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings in Scandinavia needs to be extended. To evaluate the possibilities to extend the planting period, six field experiments were established in four years during which frozen-stored, dormant seedlings and actively growing seedlings targeted for spring pl...

Trap crops that stimulate nematode egg hatching but not reproduction have been reported as an effective means for managing certain nematodes. Studies were carried out at two field sites each year in 1998 and 1999 to evaluate the potential of trapping the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) with soybean and pea in the corn year to manage the nematode in Minnesota. The trap crops were pla...

The interaction between millet and European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), was investigated to gain insight into whether millet could serve as a refuge or trap crop for O. nubilalis management. In 1995, 1996, and 1999, millet selection studies were conducted in North Dakota and New York with four millet species. Proso millet, Panicum milliaceum L., had the highest infestation and wide...

The effects of potato drip irrigation on soil nitrogen dynamics and yield was studied in small-plot field trials. trials were evaluated at during three experimental times seasons (2016-2018). Four variants determined, ie non-irrigated, 60, 65 70 ASWC (Available Soil Water Capacity). At the same time, two pre-planting fertilization dates set a maximum 120 kg N/ha divided i.e. 60 before planting ...

to determine suitable planting date and predicting emergence time in field conditions of iranian sugar beet cultivars we need some information including base temperature (t base) and heat units (hu). in this research germination tests were conducted on the seed of seven iranian monogerm sugar beet cultivars at various temperatures (3 to 36 ºc) with 3 ºc intervals. also field emergence was evalu...
