The yield of any crop depends on the capacity a plant canopy to intercept and efficiently use sunlight, which is dependent architecture viz., leaf size, shape angle, number leaves branches, geometry row orientation, spacing, geometry, density, etc. amount distribution area in determine way, by which, photosynthetic active radiation intercepted consequently it influences photosynthesis yield. ba...

Five soybean cultivars, one each from Maturity Groups (MG) III, IV, V, VI, and VII, all susceptible to Heterodera glycines, were planted in H. glycines-infested soil in April, May, June, and July at multiple locations in Arkansas and Missouri. The purpose of the study was to determine whether planting early reduces yield losses due to H. glycines. The population levels of cysts, eggs, and secon...

A field experiment was conducted in Split Plot Design with five intercropping systems [sole mustard, sole lentil, mustard + lentil (1:3), (2:2) and (2:3)] four fertility levels (0, 75, 100 125% RDF) replicated thrice during rabi season, 2017-18 at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. The results revealed that planting 2:2 row ratio, being par to gave significantly higher seed y...

to study the mutual interfering effects between cucumber and celery itercropping, along with the effect of planting density and pattern on yield of cucumber and as well, on celery, an experiment was carried out during 2006 in the horticultural fields of tehran university. the experiment was performed, employing a complete randomized block design of fifteen treatments, each in three replications...
