Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Accurately representing development is essential for applying crop simulations to investigate the effects of climate, genotypes or crop management. Development in wheat (Triticum aestivum, T. durum) is primarily driven by temperature, but affected by vernalization and photoperiod, and is often simulated by reducing thermal-time accumulation using vernalization or photoperiod...

in order to evaluate the effects of different planting dates and biological fertilizers on yield, yield components and essential oil content in cumin (cuminum cyminum) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) intercropping, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of ferdowsi university of m...

in order to study the canopy temperature effect on protein and soluble sugar, oil percentage and yield of soybean in different planting dates, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in karaj and moghan areas during 2012-13. the studied treatments were included cultivar (‘williams’ and ‘l17’) and planting date (5th of may, 5th o...

proper sowing date along with providing normal growth rate in rape oilseed plants significantly leads to higher seed and oil yield via decreasing cold damages. the experiment was conducted as factorial with two factors including sowing dates with 4 levels (12 and 23 september, 2 and 12 october) and genotypes with 5 levels (modena, licord, okapi, opera and zarfam) in three replications. the stud...

Most afforestation hardwood plantations in the Central Hardwood Forest Region, USA, are established with bareroot seedlings planted in late winter or early spring. This brief planting season is preferred for several logistical and physiological reasons, yet interest in fall planting has increased as a means to extend the planting season. We evaluated effects of a wide range of planting dates on...

Maize (Zea mays) has traditionally been a major cereal staple in southern Ghana. Through breeding and other crop improvement efforts, the zone of cultivation of maize has now extended to the northern regions of Ghana which, hitherto, were the home to sorghum and millet as the major cereals. Maize yield in the northern Ghana is hampered by three major biophysical constraints, namely, poor soil f...
