Effect of root pruning and irrigation regimes on pear tree: growth, yield and yield components [PDF]
The effect of root pruning (RP) as compared with non-root pruning (NP) and the potential of supplemental irrigation in alleviating the negative effect of root pruning on fruit growth, yield and yield components were investigated in a pear orchard from 2010 to 2011.

Assessment of heritability and identification of suitable hybrids for late sowing in sugar beet
In order to assess short vegetation period of sugar beet hybrids, an experiment was carried out in 2009 in randomized complete block (RCB) design with 4 replications in Abdolrasoul Motahari Agricultural Research Station of Sugar Beet Seed Institute ...

Effect of Azotobacter chroococcum on sugar beet and microbial activity of rhizosphere [PDF]
In sugar beet production, one of the most important factors that affect the yield, apart from genetic properties, is the use of mineral fertilizers. Considerate amounts of mineral fertilizers are used in sugar beet production.

Yield Mapping and GIS for Root Crops
I will show how yield mapping data, aerial photography data, and other agronomic data (fertility, soil parameters) can be integrated into a Geographical Information System (GIS) and give a “feel” of the value of these tools to look at crop production as a whole. The capability of GIS in handling and displaying several layers of georeferenced data leads

Deep rooting conferred by DEEPER ROOTING 1 enhances rice yield in paddy fields [PDF]
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).

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Root yield and quality of investigated sugar beet hybrids in northwest Croatia in the period from 2010 to 2013 [PDF]
In order to obtain reliable information on yield and root quality of new sugar beet hybrids, the micro varietal trials were set up on the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Zagreb in the period from 2010 to 2013.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
