cultivars, net return is maximized when grazing is terminated at first hollow stem—the stage at which hollow Although grazing of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a stem can first be identified above the crown (Redmon common practice in the southern Great Plains, little is known about the efficacy of wheat as a dual-purpose crop in the Nebraska Panhanet al., 1996). However, beyond an optim...

In north China, double cropping of winter wheat and summer maize is a widely adopted agricultural practice, and irrigation is required to obtain a high yield from winter wheat, which results in rapid aquifer depletion. In this experiment conducted in 2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2004-2005, we studied the effects of irrigation regimes during specific winter wheat growing stage with winter wheat and...

Red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a potential light source for growing plants in spaceflight systems because of their safety, small mass and volume, wavelength specificity, and longevity. Despite these attractive features, red LEDs must satisfy requirements for plant photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis for successful growth and seed yield. To determine the influence of gallium aluminium ar...

Water stress is a frequent and critical limit to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in North China. It has been shown that photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) is closely related to crop production. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation and winter wheat varieties on the PAR capture ration, PAR utilization and grain yield. Field experiments involved J...

A field experiment, laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement having four replications, was conducted at the south edge of Loess Plateau, Shaanxi, China to evaluate the responses of winter wheat and summer maize to different water saving management practices involving four mulching and irrigation treatments, i.e., plastic mulch ridge and straw mulch furrow ...

effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, n-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at nuclear institute for food and agriculture, peshawar, pakistan. poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

Agricultural sector area plays major role in Indian economy. This paper shows research comparison in between MLP Feed Forward Neural Network, Generalized Regression Neural Network and Radial-Basis Function Neural Network in the field of Wheat yield prediction using Z-score Normalization method. The outcome represents that GRNN present better prediction results as compared to FFNN and RBNN. Eigh...

To improve the accuracy of winter wheat yield estimation, the Crop Environment Resource Synthesis for Wheat (CERES-Wheat) model with an assimilation strategy was performed by assimilating measured or remotely-sensed leaf area index (LAI) values. The performances of the crop model for two different assimilation methods were compared by employing particle filters (PF) and the proper orthogonal de...
