Sowing Date Affects Maize Development and Yield in Irrigated Mediterranean Environments

Agriculture, 2019
Timely sowing is critical for maximizing yield for both grain and biomass in maize. The effects of early (mid-March), normal (mid-April), and late (mid-May) sowing date (SD) were studied over a three-year period in irrigated maize under Mediterranean ...

The politics of urban trees: Tree planting is associated with gentrification in Portland, Oregon

Forest Policy and Economics, 2021
This study evaluated the hypothesis that urban-tree planting increases neighborhood gentrification in Portland, Oregon. We defined gentrification as an increase in the median sales price of single-family homes in a Census tract compared to other tracts ...

High nitrogen application rate and planting density reduce wheat grain yield by reducing filling rate of inferior grain in middle spikelets

, 2020
Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer and high planting density reduce grain weight in wheat. However, the effects of high nitrogen and planting density on the filling of grain located in different positions of the wheat spikelet are unknown.

The effects of salinity on growth and survival of mangrove seedlings changes with age

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2017
Six wide-ranging mangrove species, Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and B. sexangula, were selected to study the growth and survival of seedlings under three contrasting salinity treatments over

Preliminary design, construction and evaluation of robot of tomato seed planting for the trays of greenhouse [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Machinery, 2015
Introduction: From an economic viewpoint, tomato is considered as the second most valuable crop after potato. It is also preceded by the potato in terms of per capita consumption in the world. In 2008, the cultivation area used for the tomato as equal to

Photosynthetic capacity and assimilate transport of the lower canopy influence maize yield under high planting density

Plant Physiology
Photosynthesis is a major trait of interest for the development of high-yield crop plants. However, little is known about the effects of high-density planting on photosynthetic responses at the whole-canopy level.

Plant Host Finding by Parasitic Plants [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2006
Plants release airborne chemicals that can convey ecologically relevant information to other organisms. These plant volatiles are known to mediate a large array of, often complex, interactions between plants and insects. It has been suggested that plant volatiles may have similar importance in mediating interactions among plant species, but there are ...

Carbon sequestration potential of tree planting in China

Nature Communications
China’s large-scale tree planting programs are critical for achieving its carbon neutrality by 2060, but determining where and how to plant trees for maximum carbon sequestration has not been rigorously assessed.
