Abstract The test plots were planted on 17 May. Seven inch banded (P/TB) and infurrow (P/TF) planting time treatments were applied with a cone-belt distributer mounted on a John Deere Maxemerge equipped with incorporation tines. Cultivation treatments (C/TB) were applied over the row on 22 Jun with the cone-belt distributer mounted on a hand-powered bicycle wheel applicator. The entire plot was cultivated immediately after application of the 22 Jun treatments by a tractor mounted cultivator. The seeding rate was 19,000 seeds/ acre on 30 inch rows. Soil type was silt loam (OM >3%, pH 6.5). Previous crop was late planted corn planted as a trap crop. The field was disked twice prior to planting. Preplant anhydrous ammonia was applied at the rate of 80 lb per acre prior to planting. Approximately 20% corn stalk residue was remaining after field preparation. The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications, each treatment a single row 47 ft long. Five randomly selected roots from each replication were rated on the Iowa State 1-6 scale (1, no damage; 6, 3 or more nodes pruned to within 1/2 inch of the stalk). The roots were dug and rated on 24, 25, and 26 Jul. Topsoil and subsoil moisture was at field capacity at planting time.

Abstract The test plot was planted on 4 May. Banded (7 inch) and in-furrow planting time treatments were applied with a cone-belt distributer mounted on a John Deere Maxemerge equipped with incorporation tines. The seeding rate was 18,000 seeds/acre on 30 inch rows. Soil type was silty clay loam (OM > 3%, pH 6.5). Previous crop was late planted corn planted as a trap crop. The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications, each treatment a single row 50 ft long. One-half of each treatment block was double disked (tilled) prior to planting (10 to 20% residue cover remaining). The other half was undisturbed (no till) (70-80% residue cover remaining). Treatments were randomized within each one-half block. Preplant anhydrous ammonia was applied at the rate of 90 lb per acre prior to planting. Five randomly selected roots from each replication were rated on the Iowa State 1-6 scale (1, no damage; 6, 3 or more nodes pruned to within Wi inch of the stalk). Twenty roots were rated for each treatment. The roots were dug and rated on 15 Jul. Soil moisture was adequate at planting. Rainfall was adequate through rating time.

Abstract Insecticides were evaluated for rootworm larval suppression in a field composed of Cozad silt loam soils. ‘DeKalb 580’ hybrid corn was ridge planted near North Platte, NE, on 1 May. At the time of planting, soil moisture was adequate for germination. Soil temperature at a depth of 5 cm was about 7°C. Treatments were applied at planting to 5 X 40 ft plots in a RCB design with four replicates. Insecticides were applied with either a planter-mounted “Smart Box” applicator or a bicycle wheel applicator-mounted noble box. On 15 Jul four plants from each plot were collected and the roots were washed. The roots were then rated for rootworm damage using the 1-6 Iowa State scale. Treatment means were analyzed with ANOVA and were separated with Fisher’s protected test of least significant difference.

ABSTRACT   Decline in rice production in Sangihe Island partly due to climate change and the implementation of a less precise planting time. Rice Shierary  model was used to predict the timing of planting paddy and has advantages in time and cost savings. This study aims to determine the exact time of planting in paddy rice crops in the district of South Manganitu, North Tabukan and Tamako, as well as to determine whether the results of the simulation model Shierary Rice together with the results obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistic Sangihe Islands. Input model consists of solar radiation, rainfall, temperature and humidity, field capacity, permanent wilting point, varieties, irrigation, nitrogen fertilization, longitude and latitude of the study area. While the output was paddy rice yield potential. It can be concluded that (a) the appropriate planting time of paddy in the South Manganitu namely in June with a potential yield of 4.25 tonha-1 and March with a potential yield of 3.88 tonha-1. (b) the appropriate planting time of paddy in the  North Tabukan namely in June with a potential yield of 4.27 tonha-1 and March with a potential yield of 3.62 tonha-1. (c) the appropriate planting time of paddy in Tamako ie in March with a potential yield of 3.58 tonha-1 and February with a potential yield of 3.28 tonha-1. (d) the yield of rice field paddy with the determination of planting time by using the model of Shierary Rice nearing/line with productivity results which obtained by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Sangihe Islands.

Abstract Thirteen corn rootworm granular soil insecticide treatments were evaluated on a Hagerstown silt loam soil near Rock Springs, PA, during 1992. A RCBD with 5 replications was used. Insecticides and rates were applied in-furrow or as a T-band application. Plots were 39 ft × 5 ft wide (2 rows). Treatments were applied using a Max Emerge John Deere 7000® corn planter on 20 May. T-band applications were applied in 7 inch bands over the row and into the furrow ahead of the press wheel, and in-furrow applications were directed into furrow in front of the press wheel.

Experiments were conducted from 1989 to 1991 on two silt loam and two clay soils to determine the effect of herbicides applied to the previous crop on growth and yield of rice. All herbicides were applied preplant-incorporated at recommended rates adjusted as needed for soil texture. Rice was planted the following year. Imazaquin, imazethapyr, alachlor, metolachlor, clomazone, trifluralin, and atrazine did not injure rice the year following application. Norflurazon was the only herbicide to injure rice on silt loam soils, with injury at one silt loam location in one of two years. Norflurazon and fluometuron residues caused rice injury on clay soils, and chlorimuron residues caused injury in one year on a day soil. This chlorimuron carryover injury was from August-planted soybean but did not occur from June-planted soybean. Norflurazon, fluometuron, and chlorimuron temporarily reduced rice dry matter early in the season. No herbicide reduced either rough rice or percent head rice yield on any of the soils.

Abstract Rootworm planting-time, soil-insecticide test plots were established at 3 IA locations in 1994. Soil types were: Ames (Chapin), silty clay loam; Nashua, loam; and Sutherland, silty clay. Plots were planted 9, 2 and 3 May, respectively, on areas that had been planted to trap crop (late-planted corn, high plant population) the previous year. A RCBD with 4 replications for the experimental and cultivation tests and 8 replications for the yield trials was used. All treatments were applied to single 50-ft length rows with 30-inch row spacing. Granular insecticide formulations were applied with modified Noble metering units mounted on a 4-row John Deere 7100 planter. Planting-time liquid formulations were applied with a compressed-air delivery system built directly into the planter; 8003E nozzles delivered 13 gpa at 23 psi. Liquid cultivation-time insecticides were applied with a small-plot bicycle sprayer. Two 8002E nozzles, 1 on each side of the corn row, were positioned to deliver either a 7 or 15-inch band width around the base of the plants; 13 gpa at 25 psi. Broadcast (30-inch band) applications of Furadan 4F were applied to single rows. A boom containing three 8002 nozzles (19-inch centers) delivered 13 gpa at 32 psi. One untreated buffer row was left on each side of a “broadcasted” row. Granular cultivation-time insecticide applications were made with electrically-driven Noble units mounted on the tool bar of a 2-row, rear-mounted cultivator. Plastic tubes, positioned directly in front of the cultivator sweeps, directed the insecticide granules to both sides of the corn row for basal treatments. Chemical phytotoxicity was checked in early Jun by taking stand counts from 1/1000 acre and measuring extended leaf heights on 10 consecutive plants (experimental tests only). Rootworm larval feeding was evaluated in Jul by digging 5 roots from each treatment row and rating them on the Iowa 1-6 scale (1 equal to no damage or only a few minor feeding scars, and a 6 rating equal to 3 or more nodes of roots completely destroyed). Lodging counts were taken at harvest time. A plant was considered lodged if the angle between the base of the plant and the ground was 45° or less. Stand counts were taken in the yield plots at harvest time. Yields were measured by hand harvesting 1/1000 acre from each treatment at Nashua and Chapin, and machine harvesting 25 row-ft at Sutherland. To determine treatment differences, data were analyzed using ANOVA and means were separated with Ryan’s Q test (REGWQ).

Maize was sown at 7.4, 12.4 and 17.3 seeds m-2 every 4 weeks for 12 months. The higher seeding rates gave similar yields; the low seeding rate frequently reduced yield. Dry matter yields of forage at the soft dough stage ranged from 200 g m-2 for crops planted in June to about 1400 g m-2 for crops planted between September and January. Grain yields followed a seasonal pattern similar to forage yields, with oven dry weights exceeding 800 g m-2 for crops sown between August and January inclusive. Crops sown in winter gave low yields because there were few surviving plants, few grains per cob and the grains were small. Crops sown later than February were killed by frost before maturity. Closer spacing resulted in small cobs with a few and smaller grains. Phenological phase lengths varied with planting time and could be estimated from the inverse of mean temperatures above a critical base as the predictor variable. It is concluded that the planting season for high production of maize on the Swan Coastal Plain extends from August to January and that two crops for silage, or one for grain and one for silage, could be grown in one year.
