The first part of 1773 was very favourable; the winter was mild; there were frosts, but no severe ones. The latter part of February was stormy, and wet; but, from thence to the beginning of May, there was a great deal of fine weather, dry, and a very good seed time;

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Soybean consumption has grown rapidly, but its production increased at a much lower rate, and as a result its demand can only be met by import. On the other hand, the irrigated land most suitable for soybean development is still in a large potential. To utilize the resource, the government made a special effort through intensification and area expansion program as well. The irrigated lowland at West Java northern coastal region is one of strategic opportunities to boost soybean production based on location, accessibility and land suitability. Soybean is usually produced in the second dry season (July-September), and it is expected to increase farm income, to create rural employment opportunity especially for landless farmer. Some influencing factors for further development are among others good seed availability, irrigation and competition of labor used.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Pertumbuhan konsumsi kedelai dari tahun ke tahun terus mengalami peningkatan, sehingga mengakibatkan ketidakseimbangan pertumbuhan konsumsi dan produksi kedelai dalam negeri. Untuk menutupi kekurangan konsumsi dalam negeri terpaksa dilakukan impor. Di lain pihak potensi lahan yang cocok untuk pengembangan kedelai ini masih cukup besar. Untuk memanfaatkan potensi sumberdaya lahan ini pemerintah berusaha melalui berbagai upaya khusus baik melalui intensifikasi maupun ekstensifikasi. Sawah irigasi teknis di Pantura Jawa Barat merupakan salahsatu peluang pengembangan kedelai yang sangat strategis bila dilihat dari letak, aksessibilitas dan kesesuaian bio-fisik lahan. Pengembangan kedelai di lahan ini pada MK II (Juli - September) disamping dapat meningkatkan penerimaan usahatani juga membuka peluang kesempatan kerja bagi buruhtani di pedesaan. Untuk pengembangan selanjutnya faktor yang perlu diperhatikan untuk menunjang keberhasilan program ini antara lain kelembagaan penyediaan benih bermutu, pengaturan air serta persaingan penggunaan tenaga kerja.</p>

Seed Industry

The importance of agriculture in developing economies is reflected in the share of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) originating in that sector and in the percent of population working in that sector. Brazil received 19 percent of its GDP from agriculture in 1968, and 60 percent of its population was in agriculture. In contrast, only three percent of GDP came from agriculture in the United States, and only six percent of the population was employed in agriculture.Development of a country's agriculture is dependent on a multitude of factors—not the least of which is availability and use of good seed. Use of high quality seeds increases total yield; allows for more efficient use of fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation because of greater uniformity, better stands and more vigorous plants; usually results in higher quality produce; requires lower planting rates; and usually reduces weed, disease and soil insect problems. Other inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, technical assistance and credit availability are necessary to achieving a sound agriculture.

Abstract Seed production of shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) was monitored from 1965 to 1974 to determine the periodicity of seed crops in both woods-run stands and seed-production areas. One bumper and two good seed crops occurred during the 9-yr period. The two largest crops occurred in successive years, then seed production was low for 4 yr before another good crop occurred. Mean annual seed production ranged from 84,000/ac in the western Ouachitas to 167,000/ac in seed-production areas in the southern Ozarks. Certain stand-level variables significantly influenced seed production. Seed production was positively related to stand age and negatively related to pine and hardwood basal areas; although frequently significant, no consistent relationship occurred with stand elevation. Results indicate that shortleaf pine seed production will usually be adequate for natural regeneration within most of the study area. South. J. Appl. For. 20(2):74-80.

Multilocation Trials

Multivariate cluster and canonical variate analyses were undertaken for 10 genotypes of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) that were tested in a four-times replicated randomized block design across 18 environments (six localities by 3 years) of Ethiopia. The main aims of this study were to determine the similarities and differences of the genotypes and their testing environments, and to compare applicability of the two statistical methods. Cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into five classes in accordance with their original sources. The six locations and 18 environments were stratified into four and seven clusters, respectively. Three sites (Bekoji, Kulumsa and Sinana) were separately stratified, while three other ones (Holetta, Asasa and Adet) showed closer similarity. Canonical variate analysis indicated that ‘D33C’ and ‘D24C’ were distinguished from the other genotypes by their high oil contents. ‘N10D’ and ‘Norlin’ had closer values and were thus preferred for their good seed yield and earliness. Days to flowering and maturity, oil contents and lodging per cent played major roles in discriminating the genotypes. Comparison of the two methods showed clearer differentiation by cluster analysis than canonical variate analysis. Canonical variate analysis also contributed information on how each variable discriminated the genotypes and their test environments. Thus, both methods complement each other in providing useful information for more efficient variety development programmes.

A Site

The atmospheric potential gradient was observed continuously at the National Research Laboratories at Ottawa for a year ending December 1, 1935, and at a country station about nine miles northwest of Ottawa, for four months ending November 1, 1936. The country station was set up on a site as free as possible from man-made pollution of the atmosphere. The records were studied from two points of view, the diurnal variation and disturbances in the normal fine weather value of the potential gradient. The results indicate that the diurnal variation is similar to that of other similarly situated stations. The study of disturbances in the potential gradient shows that all disturbances can be correlated with local meteorological conditions. The disturbances were for the most part associated with the stormy conditions usual at the passage of a front. The effect of city pollution on potential gradient records is clearly shown.

Nutrient recycling and mobilization from organ to organ all along the plant lifespan is essential for plant survival under changing environments. Nutrient remobilization to the seeds is also essential for good seed production. In this review, we summarize the recent advances made to understand how plants manage nutrient remobilization from senescing organs to sink tissues and what is the contribution of autophagy in this process. Plant engineering manipulating autophagy for better yield and plant tolerance to stresses will be presented.
