Light-use Efficiency and Fruit Dry Matter Content Affect Fresh Yield of Sweet Pepper [PDF]
Improving the productivity of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) is essential to meeting the increasing global demand. This can be partially accomplished by investigating and determining high-yield traits, thereby enabling the selection or breeding of high ...

Yield, yield components and dry matter digestibility of alfalfa experimental populations [PDF]
Alfalfa is the most important forage crop grown in the temperate regions. It is cultivated for production of vegetative aerial mass used fresh or as hay, and recently as haylage and silage. In many centres worldwide, efforts are made to breed and create new alfalfa cultivars with both higher yields and of higher nutritional value. The aim of this paper

MODELING DRY MATTER ACCUMULATION AND YIELD OF GRAIN SORGHUM [PDF]
General models requiring simple, readily available input data are needed for large area yield forecasting. Daily dry matter accumulation of a grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) crop was modeled with photosynthesis and respiration equations requiring only daily meteorological variables (solar radiation, maximum and minimum temperatures, and ...

Responses of Young Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Clones to Drought and Temperature II: Dry Matter Production and Partitioning [PDF]
The physiological basis for differences in yields from well-watered and droughted plants of four contrasting clones of tea were studied in terms of light interception, dry matter production and partitioning at a high altitude site in Southern Tanzania

Analysis of dry matter yield structure of forage grasses [PDF]
An average dry matter yield structure (three cuts per growing season) in relation to agronomically valuable characteristics of six forage grass species and a year of herbage utilization was studied over the period of 1989-2002 in Lithuania. The most productive species of the first cut of two years of herbage utilization were Phleum pratense (P < 0 ...

Responses of Young Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Clones to Drought and Temperature. I. Yield and Yield Distribution [PDF]
The yield responses to drought and temperature of six contrasting tea clones were studied in a line-source irrigation experiment in Southern Tanzania. The selected clones, all commercially and/or scientifically important in eastern Africa, embrace a ...

The genetics of environmental variation of dry matter grain yield in maize
SummaryDry matter grain yield per plot from three genetically homogeneous single-cross maize hybrids were analysed to investigate whether environmental variance depends on genotype. Three genotypes were tested at 20 locations in 3 years. The data were analysed using a non-parametric approach and fully parametric Bayesian models.
