STABILITY ON SEED YIELD IN PIGEONPEA

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1997
Seventeen pigeonpea genetypes were studied for their stability for seed yield over three years. The linear component of regression is not significant against pooled error indicates that the prediction of performance of late maturing pigeonpea genotypes over environments is difficult.

Breeding for Grass Seed Yield

2010
Seed yield is a trait of major interest for forage and turf grass species and has received increasing attention since seed multiplication is economically relevant for novel grass cultivars to compete commercially.

The Effects of Seeding Time on the Seed Yield of Annual Ryegrass

Agronomy Journal, 2013
Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is an annual grass that has shown promise as a fall grazing crop in the northern Great Plains of western Canada. Seed crops of this species are also grown in the region. Late fall (dormant) seedings of annual grain crops have often been found to produce higher seed yields than spring seedings.

Combining ability of seed vigor and seed yield in soybean

Euphytica, 2000
Studies have shown no consensus in relationships between seed yield and vigor in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The lack of information regarding the inheritance of seed vigor prompted this study to determine the types of gene action and combining ability estimates for seed vigor and its related traits.

Effects of Micronutrients on Seed Yield and Yield Components of Alfalfa

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2009
ABSTRACT Effects of micronutrients [molybdenum (Mo), boron (B), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu)] on seed yield and yield components (seed yield per unit area, fertile shoots per unit area, number of racemes per shoot, number of pods per raceme, number of seeds per pod and 1000-seed weight) of alfalfa were investigated in the ...

Seed yield and yield components of creeping bentgrass cultivars

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2004
Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a high-value turfgrass species that offers opportunities for western Canadian seed companies and producers. The objective of this study was to evaluate creeping bentgrass seed yield and the relationship between seedhead density and seed yield across a diverse range of cultivars.

Effect of Seed Soybean Treatments on Seed Emergence and Yield

2003
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate soybean seed treatments on disease pressure. There have been experimental plots for seed treatment evaluation at the McNay Research Farm for the last three years. The McNay farm was selected for seed treatment experimental plots because it exhibited a high level of phytophthora damping off the ...

Seed yield and yield components of castor influenced by irrigation

Industrial Crops and Products, 2013
Abstract An understanding of yield components is critical to the successful development of castor cultivars ( Ricinus communis L.) adapted for different cropping systems (such as mechanical harvest) and growing regions. A detailed study was made on the changes occurring in the castor oil yield components in response to irrigation.

Regulation of Seed Yield in Plantago

The Journal of Ecology, 1978
SUMMARY (1) The correlation and variation of four yield-components are important in regulating seed yield in the genus Plantago. (2) Negative correlations between weight per seed and seed number per capsule, and between the capsule number per inflorescence and the inflorescence number per plant, are evident among thirty species in the genus Plantago ...

THE INFLUENCE OF SEEDING DATE AND SEEDING RATE ON SEED YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF FIVE GENOTYPES OF Brassica napus

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1981
The effects of seeding date and seeding rate on the agronomic characteristics of five genotypes of Brassica napus L. were studied for 2 yr at two locations in western Canada. Delayed seeding resulted in a significant increase in vegetative and total yield but a significant decrease in seed yield, harvest index, plant density, racemes per plant and ...
