The comparative yield method for estimating dry matter yield of pasture

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1975
This paper describes a new method for estimating pasture yield in which the yields of random quadrats are rated with respect to a set of reference quadrats preselected in the field to provide a scale which is available for reference throughout the sampling.

Dry matter and hydrocarbon yields of Calotropis procera

Biomass, 1982
Abstract Calotropis procera was evaluated during four years of production as a source of high quality hydrocarbon-like materials (biocrude). In the second and third growth seasons, the fruit was found to contain the highest level of biocrude while the leave and stems contained approximately one-half the concentration. Dry matter and biocrude yields

Dry Matter, Grain Yield, and Yield Components of Dry Bean as Influenced by Nitrogen Fertilization and Rhizobia

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2014
Dry bean is an important legume crop for a large portion of the world's population. Nitrogen (N) is one of the most yield-limiting nutrients in all dry bean–producing regions of the world. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate responses of 15 dry bean genotypes to N fertilization with and without rhizobial inoculation grown on a lowland ...

YIELD OF DRY MATTER, IN VITRO-DIGESTIBLE DRY MATTER AND CRUDE PROTEIN OF FORAGES

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1967
Pure stands of alfalfa, bromegrass, orchardgrass and timothy, each represented by two varieties differing in maturity and/or plant type, were harvested weekly during their first crop growth in 1961, 1962, and 1963.All forages consistently increased in dry matter yield until approximately the early-seed stage. Differences in rate of growth, development

Dry Matter Production and Partition in Relation to Yield of Tea

Experimental Agriculture, 1981
SUMMARYTea yields of 1 to 4 t ha−1y−1 of dry shoot tips are much less than those of other vegetative crops like grasslands or forests growing in similar conditions, partly because plucking restricts tea biomass production, but mainly because the harvest index of tea is small.

Contribution of Remobilized Total Dry Matter to Soybean Yield

Journal of Crop Improvement, 2012
It is recognized that soybean remobilizes carbohydrates and protein compounds from vegetative to reproductive organs during the last half of the seed filling period. However, reports quantifying how much of final yield is constituted by these remobilized materials under field conditions are lacking.

Effects of competition on yield and dry matter distribution in maize

Field Crops Research, 1978
Abstract Timing and intensity of competition, as a function of plant density and other factors, significantly affect grain and total dry matter production in maize. Competition during different stages of growth affects dry weight distribution among different plant fractions.

INHERITANCE OF DRY MATTER YIELD IN A HETEROZYGOUS POPULATION OF ALFALFA

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1981
Additive and digenic variances for dry matter yield were estimated from a population of F1 lines of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). The F1 lines and their polycross (PX) progenies were both evaluated over three harvests in a simulated sward in a growth room.

Dry Matter Accumulation Predictors for Optimal Yield in Soybean

Crop Science, 2005
Identification of predictors for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] optimal yield (4500 kg ha−1 for Louisiana growing conditions) would help farmers identify profitability and aid in determination of environmental factors limiting crop yield. Since environmental influences on yield act mainly through effects on total dry matter (TDM) accumulation during ...
