Progress and bottlenecks in the early domestication of the perennial oilseed Silphium integrifolium, a sunflower substitute [PDF]
Silflower (Silphium integrifolium Michx.) is in the early stages of domestication as a perennial version of oilseed sunflower, its close relative. Grain crops with deep perennial root systems will provide farmers with new alternatives for managing soil ...

Varietal differences harvest index (HI) and yield (Y) were examined using 60 Japanese varieties (J group) and 20 high-yielding varieties bred in Asian countries (H group). HI varied from 36.8% to 53.4%. Mean values of HI were 43.5% in the J group and 48.8% in the H group. Y ranged form 22.6g/plant to 40.0g/plant.

How Planting Density Affects Number and Yield of Potato Minitubers in a Commercial Glasshouse Production System [PDF]
Commercial potato minituber production systems aim at high tuber numbers per plant. This study investigated by which mechanisms planting density (25.0, 62.5 and 145.8 plants/m2) of in vitro derived plantlets affected minituber yield and minituber number ...

Responses of grain yield, biomass and harvest index and their rates of genetic progress to nitrogen availability in ten winter wheat varieties. [PDF]
peer-reviewedIncreased yields in winter wheat cultivars have been found to be largely attributable to improved partitioning of biomass to the grain, i.e., higher harvest index.

Sugar maple (Acer saccharum March.) growth is influenced by close conspecifics and skid trait proximity following selection harvest [PDF]
In this study, we quantified the effects of local neighbourhood competition, light availability, and proximity to skid trails on the growth of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) trees following selection harvest.
