Severe Root Pruning of Strawberry Bare Root Transplants Is Yield Neutral [PDF]
HortScience, 2002 In Florida annual hill strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch.) production, bare-rooted transplants are hand-planted for establishment. Northern latitude or high-elevation nurseries produce these transplants during the summer months and begin digging plants in September for winter production areas.

Identifying seedling root architectural traits associated with yield and yield components in wheat [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2017 Plant roots growing underground are critical for soil resource acquisition, anchorage and plant-environment interactions. In wheat ( Triticum aestivum ), however, the target root traits to improve yield potential still remain largely unknown. This study aimed to identify traits of seedling root system architecture (RSA) associated with yield and yield ...

Deep rooting conferred by DEEPER ROOTING 1 enhances rice yield in paddy fields [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 To clarify the effect of deep rooting on grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.) in an irrigated paddy field with or without fertilizer, we used the shallow-rooting IR64 and the deep-rooting Dro1-NIL (a near-isogenic line homozygous for the Kinandang Patong allele of DEEPER ROOTING 1 (DRO1) in the IR64 genetic background).

Planting density and yield of cassava roots [PDF]
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2013 In Mata Fresca, an area located on the border of the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceara, in Brazil, small farmers have a source of income from the production of cassava roots, using planting densities of around 5,000 plants ha -1 . This procedure might be helping to limit higher yields of the roots, since some studies have shown that it is ...

Assessment of sugar beet root yield by AMMI analysis [PDF]
Genetika, 2017 Sugar beet cultivars have different responses in various environments, such as different locations, years, mineral nutrition treatments or the combination of these factors, due to genotype ? environment interaction. Additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) is one of the most commonly used multivariate methods for analysis ...

Effect of parsley seed treatment on root yield [PDF]
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003 As parsley seed vigour is known to be low, a 3-year field study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of seed priming and pelleting. Hardening and solid matrix priming (SMP) were applied to two varieties (Cukrowa and Berlińska). Both methods of seed pre-sowing treatment increased the percentage, speed and synchrony of seedling emergence.

Genetika, 2011 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a dryland medicinal crop and roots are used as valuable drug in traditional systems of medicine. Morphological variants (morphotypes) and the parental populations were evaluated for root - morphometric, quality and yield traits to study genetic association among them. Root morphometric traits (root length,

Inflorescence Removal Affects Root Yield of American Ginseng [PDF]
HortScience, 1999 Manual removal of inflorescences from mature (3- and 4-year-old) American ginseng plants (Panax quinquefolium L.) at commercial timing (early July, ≈25% flowers open) increased root yield at harvest. Consecutive inflorescence removal for 2 years (third and fourth) increased yield 55.6%. Inflorescence removal in 4-year-old plants increased yield by 34.7%

Crop root system plasticity for improved yields in saline soils
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Crop yields must increase to meet the demands of a growing world population. Soil salinization is increasing due to the impacts of climate change, reducing the area of arable land for crop production. Plant root systems are plastic, and their architecture can be modulated to (1) acquire nutrients and water for growth, and (2) respond to hostile soil ...
