In India, groundnut is gown on 5.7 million hectare with a production of 4.7 million tonnes, with an average productivity of 0.8 tons haduring the rainy season and in the post-rainy season it is grown on 0.9 million hectare with a productiop of 1.5 million tonnes, and an average productivity of 1.6 t ha(Radhamani and Singh, 2008). The productivity in India is low with low seed quality. It is att...

Seed development is important for agriculture productivity. We demonstrate that brassinosteroid (BR) plays crucial roles in determining the size, mass, and shape of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds. The seeds of the BR-deficient mutant de-etiolated2 (det2) are smaller and less elongated than those of wild-type plants due to a decreased seed cavity, reduced endosperm volume, and integume...

Analysis of the problems increasing yield clover seeds shows that, in relation to fodder perennial grasses, tasks selection when breeding new varieties are associated with improving vegetative development plants. Fodder use provides for need further increase productivity phytomass, period active shoot formation, predominance stems structure herbage, and others. Such natural or selectively induc...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is directly related to acidic soils and substantially limits maize yield. Earlier studies using hormones and other substances to treat the seeds of various crops have been carried out with the aim of inducing tolerance to abiotic stress, especially chilling, drought and salinity. However, more studies regarding the effects of seed treatments on the induction of Al toleran...

277 Lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus L.) is mostly grown on the residual soil moisture in rice-fallows as utera (relay) crop (Gupta and Bhowmick, 2005; Mondal and Ghosh, 2005). But low productivity especially under utera system is the major problem associated with this crop (Bhowmick et al., 2005). Even there is a limited scope for agronomic manipulation under rice-utera system although it has potent...

Assisted population migration (APM) is the intentional movement of populations within a species range to sites where future environmental conditions are projected to be more conducive to growth. APM has been proposed as a proactive adaptation strategy to maintain forest productivity and to reduce the vulnerability of forest ecosystems to projected climate change. The validity of such a strategy...

The widespread introduction of variegated alfalfa into production is hindered by a shortage seeds and difficulties in cultivating it the year sowing. study influence cover crops on seed productivity Darya variety was carried out 2018-2020, characterized various weather conditions, experimental field separate division "Penza Research Institute" Federal Center for Bast Crops. When studying format...

In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity for better irrigation planning and sustainable yield. The AquaCrop model was tested using data collected during a 4-year experiment on soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) and s...
