Abstract Plant-soil feedbacks can mediate aboveground plant–herbivore interactions by impacting plant chemistry. Given that soil legacies and agricultural practices are closely tied, a better understanding of legacy cascades their application in pest management needed. We tested how cover crop alter resistance to fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Smith, Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) maize (Zea may...

Abstract Our study aimed to assess the potential of indices, including grain protein deviation and yield, simultaneously improve yield content in triticale. analysis 1.218 triticale genotypes revealed significant genotypic variation high heritabilities for all traits. We analysed suitability indices phenotypic selection both increased content. show that some were selected irrespective applied i...

The study was conducted in the period 2015-2017 experimental field of IRGR "K. Malkov” Sadovo. elements productivity 24 varieties and lines triticale (X. Triticosecale Wittmacks) were studied. degree variation each indicators is determined by calculating a coefficient variation. results obtained show that most variable indicator weight grains central spike whereas slightest observed parameters ...

The crop yield and quality of seven annual forages (four grasses three legumes) in sole mixtures (ratio 50:50) for oat (Avena sativa L.), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack), barley (Hordeum vulgare pea (Pisum sativum berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) common vetch (Vicia were evaluated a two-year field experiment adopting two harvesting times, gree...
