The objective of the study was to evaluate performance a vacuum single-seed planter in field conditions optimize some operating parameters maize production. Three forward speed tractor (4.0, 5.4 and 7.9 km h-1) five target seed spacing (102, 147, 195, 247 309 mm) were evaluated by examining mean spacing, coefficient precision miss index, multiple quality feed sowing depth, deviation from row (i...

A site was prepared with 2 distinctly different soil depths and a vineyard of 'Concord' grapes (Vitis labrusca L.) was established with in-row spacings of 1.52, 1.83, 2.13, 2.44, and 3.05 m. Wider in-row vine spacings resulted in increased vine yields on deeper soils to the point that yields per meter of cordon and per hectare were not reduced; but yield per meter of cordon and per hectare was ...

in order to evaluate the delay cropping on yield and yield component of two canola cultivars and selecting the best genotype and row spacing, an experiment was conducted at three years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in gorgan research station. this experiment was arranged in spilt-factorial based on randomized complete block design with four sowing dates (28 oct., 12 and 28 nov. and 12 dec.) as main plo...

Understanding the natural mating behavior (selfor cross-pollination) in watermelon is important to the design of a suitable breeding strategy. The objective of this study was to measure the rate of selfand cross-pollination in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] using the dominant gene Sp (Spotted leaves and fruit) as a marker. The experiment consisted of two studies and was...

Existing plows do not provide high-quality tillage between rows of orchards and vineyards. The purpose the study is to develop justify parameters plow for cultivating soil gardens tractors class 0.9 kN. A design scheme a single-body smooth, rowless plowing garden aisles has been developed. proposed consists movable fixed frame, disc knife, screw body with hostage. research uses laws agricultura...

Field trials were conducted in two agro-climatic zones of the country (Lungi and Kabala) to evaluate effect planting methods inter-row spacing on growth parameters three Bambara groundnut cultivars. The experiment consisted a factorial 18 treatment combinations (mound flat), (50 cm x 10 cm, 50 15 20 cm), cultivars (Lubam1, Lubam 2, Kabam 1). study shows that using mounds produced higher values ...
