The study was conducted to analyse the rainfall pattern of dry farming zones Southern Karnataka arrive at proper date sowing by considering parameters like threshold (20 mm), day (2.5 mm) and spell period (10 days) as a main defining for decision making in major crops (finger millet, pigeonpea, groundnut, etc.). In all three zones, agro-climatic onset cropping season earlier compared met...

abstract to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on growth indices of red bean cultivars with different growth habit, a field experiment was carried out during the spring 2009 at university of zanjan as a factorial split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design, with three replications. main plots included factorial of three red bean cultivars (derakhshan (stand...

dry matter remobilization, grain filling rate and duration has principle role on rice grain yield, and environment condition directly affect on them. for study the influence of climate factors a factorial field experiment in randomized complete blocks design with three replications conducted at haraz extention and technology development centre in spring 2013. treatments included rice cultivars ...

Aswan Governorate is considered the largest governorate of Egypt producing dried dates, and most famous varieties are Sakkoti, Bartamuda, Gondaila, Malkabi, Shamia. Immediately after harvest, dates contain a high percentage moisture, which must be properly disposed in order to maintain chemical composition natural properties, also for long-term storage. There many drying systems that can used d...

The utility of a handheld visible-short wave near infrared spectrophotometer utilising an interactance optical geometry was assessed in context of the noninvasive determination of intact tomato dry matter content, as an index of final ripe soluble solids content, and colouration, as an index of maturation to guide a decision to harvest. Partial least squares regression model robustness was demo...

This experiment was conducted at Azad University experiment station to evaluate the effects of planting date and time of nitrogen application on yield and sugar content of sweet sorghum in 2003. Four planting dates (May 4, March 19, June 3 and June 18) and three stages of nitrogen application (3-5/8 leaf stage, boot stage and soft dough stage) were assigned to the main and subplots, respectivel...
