A study was conducted to check the effect of different sowing dates and row spacing on the growth, seed yield and quality of offseason pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Climax). Significant differences were recorded among sowing dates for days to germination while nonsignificant results were found for row spacing and interaction (A × B). Maximum days to germination were recorded in D1 (20 th April) and...

sowing date and plant density are important factors in grain yield of cow pea. in order to study effect of sowing date and plant density on yield and yield components of cow pea, an experiment was conducted in research farm of ramin university of agricultural and natural resources in 2008. the experimental design was split plots in randomized complete design with four replications. the experime...

Key planting factors that influence corn stand establishment includes uniform depth and spacing of seed, correct seed population and optimizing the soil environment for rapid germination and uniform emergence. Other variables affecting stand establishment are seedbed quality (including soil moisture and temperature), seed quality and planter speed. Differences among fields for stand establishme...

How do plants generate the optimal spacing of stomatal pores on their surfaces to prevent excessive water-loss, whilst allowing efficient gas exchange? New research into the ERECTA family of receptor-like-kinases has provided an important link in the cell-cell signalling pathways controlling this process.

abstract in order to study the effect of planting season (autumn and spring) and plant density on growth traits and flower yield (dry weight of flower) of matricaria (matricaria chamomilla), an experiment was carried out at the research field of agricultural faculty of shirvan, affiliated to ferdowsi university of mashhad. a split plot design with two factors, including planting time and plant ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS During the development of an even-aged plant population, the spatial distribution of individuals often changes from a clumped pattern to a random or regular one. The development of local size hierarchies in an Abies forest was analysed for a period of 47 years following a large disturbance in 1959. METHODS In 1980 all trees in an 8 x 8 m plot were mapped and their height g...

Dill has been identified as an important spice crop having tremendous medicinal properties and has ubiquitous use in many types of industries like essential oils, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumery etc. There is entire scope to work on standardize yield and quality attributing character of dill. Following the objective of optimizing plant spacing to optimize the yield of quality seeds and es...

Christy Hoepting, Cornell Cooperative Extension Regional Vegetable Program Steven Beer, Dept. of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, Cornell University It is important to emphasize that “exploring” is in the present tense. In New York, we are just beginning to delve into the fascinating relationship between nitrogen, plant spacing and bacterial diseases of onions. Our preliminary resul...
