Effects of duration of water stress at different growth stages on growth and yield of soybeans (Glycine max (L) Merrill) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agriculture in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1982 Four soybean cultivars (viz. Evans, Geiso, Maple Arrow and S.J.4) were subjected to water stress at three different reproductive growth stages: i)entire reproductive growth stages (R1 to R7) ii) early reproductive growth stages (R1 to R4) and iii) late ...

Physical Phenomenology of Phyllotaxis [PDF]
, 2011 We propose an evolutionary mechanism of phyllotaxis, regular arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. It is shown that the phyllotactic pattern with the Fibonacci sequence has a selective advantage, for it involves the least number of phyllotactic ...

Growth-promoting effects of a seaweed concentrate at various pH and water hardness conditions
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Kelpak® – a liquid seaweed concentrate made from the kelp Ecklonia maxima (Osbeck) Papenfuss – is used as a natural biostimulant to promote rooting and improve yield in crops.

An overview on (mathematical) plant growth modelling and applications [PDF]
, 2011 Plants are very complex systems. If agronomic plants, like rice, maize or corn, are essential to provide food or other kind of goods, trees are also essential to preserve the carbon balance, or even to absorb carbon surplus.

Effects of Light and Nutrients on Tomato Plant Compensation for Herbivory by \u3ci\u3eManduca Sexta\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
, 2017 This preliminary study examined how two resources (light and nutrients) influence the ability of tomato plants to show growth compensation for defoliation by the tobacco homworm (Manduca sexta).

Simulating Root Density Dynamics and Nitrogen Uptake -Field Trials and Root Model Approach in Denmark [PDF]
, 2007 Plant soil and atmosphere models are commonly used to predict crop yield and associated environmental consequences. Such models often include complex modelling of water movement, soil organic matter turnover and above ground plant growth.

The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L. [PDF]
, 2013 A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these
