This study was conducted to determine whether selecting an optimum sowing date couldimprove yield. The experiment consisted of sowing a film-covered, drip-irrigated cotton field onfour sowing dates from April to May in 2011-2012 at the Agrometeorological ExperimentalStation of Wulanwusu, which was in an arid region of north-western China. Late sowing datesproduced less yield and water-use effic...

The temporal pattern of control by phytochrome of the enzyme lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.1.13) in the m ustard seedling (Sinapis alba L.) is described. The biosynthetic system which produces lipoxygenase does not respond to phytochrome (Pfr) up to 33.25 h after sowing (25 °C ). By this time the control by Pfr comes suddenly and fully into play. At 48 h after sowing the system escapes from the control...

> Sowing crops following cover crops on forage may cause injuries andproductivity reduction, due reasons as allelopathy or glyphosate residues. Theobjective of this study was to evaluate the influence of differing periods betweencover crop (Urochloa ruziziensis) desiccation with glyphosate and sunflower(Aguará 4) sowing in a no-tillage system on crop development and productivity.Two assays were...

effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, n-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at nuclear institute for food and agriculture, peshawar, pakistan. poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) could provide ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions in two detectors simultaneously possibly at a bunch train frequency the linac twice baseline design value. In this paper, novel dual beam delivery system (BDS) is presented order to serve interaction regions (IR1 and IR2) including optics designs evaluation of luminosity performance with synchrotron radiat...

The uniformity of wheat seed emergence is an important characteristic used to evaluate cultivars, cultivation mode and field management. Currently, researchers typically investigated the uniformity of seed emergence by manual measurement, a time-consuming and laborious process. This study employed field RGB images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to obtain information related to the uniform...

Understanding the impact of the warming trend on phenological stages and phases of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in central and lower Punjab, Pakistan, may assist in optimizing crop management practices to enhance production. This study determined the influence of the thermal trend on cotton phenology from 1980-2015 in 15 selected locations. The results demonstrated that observed phenological ...

This study was conducted at the Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources farm, Iran, Golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on Azivash (Corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. Treatments were four sowing dates such as May 5, ...

to study the root allelopathic effects of cool season crops on germination and early growth of three crops (sorghum, corn, and soybean), an experiment was conducted in seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran. the experiment consisted of four cool season crops (wheat, barley, rye and pea) and control as the main plots, three spring-crops (corn, soy...
