The yield and production of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) have not been significantly improved in Kansas for the last 30 years even though farmers are using varieties. We noted a significant difference between average reported by researchers. magnitude gap its underlying factors still unknown. Thus, understanding potential is essential to meet future forage demand with limited resources. main ob...

High latitude agriculture is rainfed. Climate change could, however, increase water deficiency and initiate a call for development of irrigation systems as a part of field water management systems. This study aimed to develop a basic understanding about the current state of irrigation potential according to region by monitoring proximity of fields to waterways and characterizing their general c...

In a field trial conducted with eight varieties in the north coast area of Natal ratoon stunting disease (RSD) caused increasing lossesin yieldsof cane and sucrosefrom the plant to the second ratoon crop. All the varieties suffered losses in yield but the degree of loss differed markedly among the varieties. The total yield of sugar from the three crops was reduced by 38% in varieties NCo 376an...

Abstract Maize is the primary staple crop cultivated during monsoon season in eastern India. However, yield gaps are large because of multiple factors, including low adoption rates good agronomic management practices. This study aimed to narrow maize gap using diverse and varietal interventions through field experiments over 2 years (2013–2014) rainfed plateau region Odisha. As a result, increa...

Tolerant and susceptible durum wheat varieties were grown in the 1 and 2 settlement zone under rainfed conditions inDaraa province-Syria, In order to expose plants to different level of water regime, since the two zones differ in total amount of rainfall during the growing season. Plants were suffered from terminal drought stress in both zones, however, the drought was more sever in the 2 settl...
