Agricultural Water Management, 2021
Abstract Reducing use of irrigation water and improving crop yield are important since water shortage and food security are the two main problems in developing sustainable agriculture. In this study, we aim to reduce the conventional irrigation amount and to determine the mechanisms for yield formation and water use efficiency (WUE) increasing, and ...

Scientia Horticulturae, 1988
Abstract The rate of dry-weight accumulation was found to be higher in early- than in later-setting fruits and was unaffected by the water regime. Water stress shortened the duration of fruit growth and accelerated ripening. When expressed as final dry-weight yield, the proportion of fruit set during the first week of flowering was significantly ...

Factors affecting dry weight accumulation in developing barley endosperm
Physiologia Plantarum, 1987Some factors that may be concerned in determining final grain weight in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. distichum) have been investigated. Variation in endosperm fresh and dry weight, volume and starch content have been recorded at different stages of grain development between anthesis and harvest‐ripeness for two barleys, cvs Kym and Golden Promise ...

Visual Markers of Maximum Grain Dry Weight Accumulation in Winter Wheat
Crop Science, 1991Visual indicators that coincide with the time of maximum grain dry weight accumulation (tmax) in hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have not been confirmed. Our objective was to evaluate various potential visual markers of tmax for a range of cultivars in typical Great Plains environments.

Development and dry weight accumulation of pearl millet as affected by nitrogen supply
Field Crops Research, 1985Abstract Pearl millet ( Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) was grown as spaced plants from seed to grain maturity under three levels of nitrate-nitrogen supply. The duration from sowing to panicle initiation depended on the number of developmental events (leaves produced) rather than requiring a constant time; it was greater at low nitrogen supply ...

THE RATE OF DRY WEIGHT ACCUMULATION IN MARQUIS WHEAT AS AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE AND LIGHT INTENSITY
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1962Plants were grown to the stage of anthesis at constant temperatures from 10 to 30 °C and under continuous illumination at intensities ranging from 200 to 2500 ft-c. The absolute growth rate was maximal at the time of ear emergence. The relative growth rate declined continuously with time; the rate of decline was greatest at the higher temperatures and

Tree Physiology, 1989
Single-node, leafy stem cuttings of Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum. were collected from successive nodes down the uppermost shoot of 2-shoot stockplants. The leaves were trimmed to 10, 50 and 100 cm(2) before the cuttings were set under intermittent mist to root.

SUMMARYThe pattern of dry weight accumulation and partition of cowpea crops grown in Nigeria is described. For the first 50 days, increase in dry matter was proportional to intercepted radiation. Differences in dry weight between crops were due equally to variations in incident solar radiation, the fraction of this radiation intercepted, and the ...

In this study, we examined the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments from the Mahanadi River Estuary (MRE), identified sources, and evaluated the ecological toxicity.
