ß-Glucan contents of groats of different oat cultivars in official variety, in organic cultivation, and in nitrogen fertilization trials in Finland [PDF]
ß-Glucan is a beneficial chemical compound in the diet of humans by decreasing the levels of serum cholesterol and blood glucose. The ß-glucan contents of oat groats were studied in official variety trials (1997-1999), nitrogen fertilization trials (1997-

Effect of Date of Sowing on Productivity of Black Cumin
The experiment was carried out during rabi season during 2016–2017 at Malda District of West Bengal ascertain the best sowing date to get high yield and quality in nigella. The study consisted of four different sowing dates like T1-Cultivation of Black Cumin in mid September, T2-Cultivation of Black Cumin in end of September, T3-Cultivation of Black ...

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Use of turnips to reduce potassium accumulation on areas receiving farm dairy effluent : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Land treatment of farm dairy effluent (FDE) on small areas of intensive of dairy farms has enriched soils with nutrients particularly K. Solving the problem solely by increasing the area allocated for land treatment requires large investment in pump ...

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

SEED SIZE, SOWING DEPTH AND MAIZE INITIAL GROWTH AT TWO SOWING DATES
Maize is highly dependent on plant population to reach high grain yields. The crop stand definition is affected by several factors such as seed size, sowing depth and planting date. This work was carried out aiming to evaluate the impact of contrasting seed sizes and sowing depths on plant emergence and maize initial growth at two planting dates.

As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...
