Information on rice crop phenology is important for crop management. This study aimed to detect rice crop phenology in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta using time-series MODIS data in 2007. Data processing steps included: (1) constructing time-series MODIS NDVI data, (2) filtering noise from the time-series data using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform, (3) detecting rice crop ...

in order to study the effect of planting date on duration of phenological periods in wheat cultivars, a randomized compelet block design experiment with four replications was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources research station. the factors were eight sowing dates (14 december, 20 january, 18 february, 20 march, 16 april, 21 may, 30 july and 6 august) an...

Forage production is primarily limited by weather conditions under dryland production systems in Brazilian semi-arid regions, therefore sowing at the appropriate time is critical. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the CSM-CERES-Pearl Millet model from the DSSAT software suite for its ability to simulate growth, development, and forage accumulation of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum...

cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) is one of the most important cultivable medicinal plants in iran and today, it is the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. it is essential to know the relationships between yield and its components in cumin breeding programs. therefore, different multivariate statistical analysis was performed on plant characters in cumin to determine the relatio...

to determine the effect of sowing dates (22 oct., 5 nov., 21 nov. and 5 dec.) on the green pod and dry seed yield of faba bean (vicia faba), field experiments were conducted using rcb design with four replications for three cropping seasons (1995-1998) at hashem abad research station in golestan province. result, of combined analysis of variance showed that 22 oct. and 21 nov. produced higher g...

Prediction of wheat phenology facilitates the selection of cultivars with specific adaptations to a particular environment. However, while QTL analysis for heading date can identify major genes controlling phenology, the results are limited to the environments and genotypes tested. Moreover, while ecophysiological models allow accurate predictions in new environments, they may require substanti...

ABSTRACT- Field experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between plant leaf area as the dependent variable with leaves number, leaf dry weight, and total vegetative components dry weight and plant height as the independent variables. Treatments were two tillage systems (conventional and no-tillage) as main plots, and seven sowing dates (11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...

abstractbackground and objectives: all changes in the development stages of plants results in the change of one or more yield components and finally, the ultimate yield and manipulation of these periods means to create new possibilities for increasing yield. accordingly, planting date has a significant impact on plant growth and development during the growth season, so that any shift in plantin...
