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...

in order to investigate the possibility of fennel autumnal sowing in mashhad condition, 2 sets of experiments were conducted in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2003-2005. this experiment was performed in the manner of split blocks based on completely randomized blocks with three replications. treatments were two fennel ecotypes (khorasan and kerman) and three planting da...

in order to evaluate the delay cropping on yield and yield component of two canola cultivars and selecting the best genotype and row spacing, an experiment was conducted at three years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in gorgan research station. this experiment was arranged in spilt-factorial based on randomized complete block design with four sowing dates (28 oct., 12 and 28 nov. and 12 dec.) as main plo...

Goodwin Ave., Urbana, IL 61801; [email protected] The critical period for weed control (CPWC) identifies the phase of the crop growth cycle when weed interference results in unacceptable yield losses; however, the effect of ...

the effects of planting date and single irrigation (si) allocation scenarios on increasing and stability of yield were investigated to determine the total water productivity and economical water productivity (wpe), for rainfed wheat at dryland agricultural research institute in maragheh, iran, during 2000-2004. the treatments included three sowing dates (early, normal and late), four allocation...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is used as medicinal plant in many Asian countries and has been reported to have forage quality similar to alfalfa. Fenugreek is an annual crop and may have the potential to diversify forage production systems in the central High Plains. This study evaluated forage dry matter (DM) production and the nutritive value of three fenugreek cultivars as influen...
