Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] has potential in aquaculture, livestock feed production, and the biofuel industry. It is necessary to determine the appropriate production technology for the newly introduced crop under different environmental conditions. The objective of this 2-year study was to measure the response of five camelina genotypes in terms of seed yield, yield components, and disease incidence to applied nitrogen (N) at multiple sites in the Maritime provinces of eastern Canada. The factorial experiment was set up as a randomized complete block design. The two factors were six N rates (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha−1 N) and five genotypes of camelina (Calena, CDI002, CDI005, CDI007, and CDI008). The interactive effect of N rates and genotypes was considered. Results showed that camelina, which is usually considered a low-input crop, responded positively to increased applied N at rates up to 200 kg ha−1 N. Seed yield responded differently to applied N rates depending on genotype. Branch and pod development were decisive for seed yield. The advanced line CDI007 had the highest yield potential among the five genotypes. Downy mildew infection was positively correlated with applied N rates; however, seed yield was not significantly affected by downy mildew infection.

Microbial fertilizers containing Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium isolates are one of the important organic fertilizers, which strengthen the immune system of plants against harmful effects and promote the plant growth by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere, to obtain better quality products. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different liquid microbial fertilizer doses (0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 ml 100 L–1) on the yield and yield components of the coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) grown in Bayburt in 2018 and 2019. The experiment was set up as three replicates in randomized complete block design. The results indicated that there was a considerable variation in the yield and yield components of coriander, and the yield significantly increased as the dose of microbial fertilizer was increased. The maximum essential oil content and seed yield were recorded for the plots grown under the F1 and F3 treatment. It was found that the maximum seed yield was obtained in the F3 treatment (839.0 kg ha–1), and the seed yield decreased in the F4 (754.1 kg ha–1) and F5 (759.9 kg ha–1) treatments. Although the increase in the microbial fertilizer dose increases seed yield, using the fertilizer in optimum dose can be more profitable. Therefore, this study suggests that the fertilizer dose “F3” can improve the productivity of the coriander grown in the areas treated with microbial fertilizer.

<p>Peningkatan produktivitas kedelai nasional dapat dilakukan dengan penggunaan varietas produktivitas tinggi dan manipulasi indeks panen menggunakan varietas genjah. Pembentukan varietas di atas memerlukan plasma nutfah dengan potensi hasil tinggi dan berumur genjah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi aksesi kedelai yang mempunyai potensi hasil tinggi dan aksesi kedelai berumur genjah. Sebanyak 56 aksesi kedelai terdiri atas varietas elit dan introduksi, aksesi lokal dan galur-galur persilangan ditanam di Kebun Percobaan Cikeumeuh (250 m dpl) dan Pacet (1.200 m dpl) menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan tiga ulangan. Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap karakter morfologi, komponen hasil dan karakter reproduktif yang meliputi umur berbunga (fase R1, R3, R7, dan R8). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 28 aksesi (50%) diuji di Cikeumeuh dan 43 aksesi (76,79%) diuji di Pacet menunjukkan jumlah polong/tanaman lebih dari 50. Sekitar 35,71% aksesi di Cikeumeuh dan 41,07% aksesi di Pacet menghasilkan biji/tanaman lebih dari 10 g/tanaman. Aksesi kedelai yang menunjukkan komponen hasil tinggi hanya di KP Cikeumeuh adalah B2981, B3517, dan B3628. Aksesi kedelai yang menunjukkan komponen hasil tinggi hanya di KP Pacet adalah B4441, B3628, B382, B4334, dan B3414. Aksesi yang menunjukkan komponen hasil tinggi di kedua lokasi (Cikeumeuh dan Pacet) adalah B3417. Aksesi B3417 diklasifikasikan sebagai aksesi dengan adaptasi luas karena berkeragaan komponen hasil tinggi di dataran rendah dan di dataran tinggi. Aksesi dengan umur panen genjah ditunjukkan oleh B2973 (74 hari setelah tanam, hst) yang tidak berbeda nyata dengan aksesi B1430 (75 hst), B3611 (76 hst), B4433 (77 hst), dan B4439 (80 hst) berdasarkan uji DMRT (p&lt;0,05). Berdasarkan karakter morfologi, sebagian besar plasma nutfah kedelai terbagi dalam tiga kelompok termasuk landraces tanpa mempertimbangkan asal daerahnya. Analisis klaster berdasarkan karakter agronomi mendukung analisis DMRT bahwa aksesi kedelai dengan hasil biji tinggi dan umur genjah dapat dibedakan. Aksesi kedelai dengan jumlah polong banyak, hasil biji tinggi, umur genjah potensial digunakan dalam program pemuliaan kedelai produktivitas tinggi dengan umur genjah.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>One effort to improve soybean production in Indonesia is by using high yielding and manipulating harvest index by using early maturing varieties. Such variety development requires the availability of soybean germplasm with high yield potential and early maturity. The objective of this study was to identify soybean genotypes showing high yield potential and early maturity. A total of 56 soybean accessions consisting of elite and introducing varieties, landraces, and breeding lines were characterized in the field with different altitudes i.e. Cikeumeuh (250 m above sea level) and Pacet (1.200 m asl). The experiments were arranged in a randomized block design using three replications. Characters observed were morphological chracters, yield components and maturity-related traits (days to R1, R3, R7, and R8). Results showed that 28 accessions (50%) tested at Cikeumeuh and 43 accessions (76.79%) tested at Pacet demonstrated pod number/plant more than 50. About 35.71% at Cikeumeuh and 41.07% at Pacet showed seed yield more than 10 g/plant. Soybean accessions demonstrating high yield components only at Cikeumeuh were B2981, B3517, and B3628. Soybean accessions demonstrating high yield components only at Pacet were B4441, B3628, B382, B4334, and B3414. The accession demonstrating high yield component performance at both locations (Cikeumeuh and Pacet) was shown by B3417. Accession B3417 is then classified as a broad adaptating soybean genotype. The early pod maturing accession was demonstrated by B2973 (74 dap) that was not significantly different from accessions B1430 (75 dap), B3611 (76 dap), B4433 (77 dap), and B4439 (80 dap) based on DMRT at p = 0.05. Three distinct clades were generated based on morpho-agronomical variables on both locations (Cikeumeuh dan Pacet). Cluster analysis of agronomical characters was able to distinguish accessions with high yield components in either one or both locations (B3417, B3628, and B2981), and accessions with early maturiy and least pod number (B4439 and B4433). Cluster analysis results were in well-agreement with the results based on DMRT. Soybean accessions having high pod number, high seed yield and early in maturity are potentially used for developing high yielding soybean varieties with early in maturity.</p>

Combining ability and heterosis were calculated for fourteen lines of linseed in a line × tester mating design using twelve lines and two diverse testers in two different environments. The hybrids and parental lines were raised in a completely randomized block design with three replications to investigate seed and fibre yield and their component traits. Genetic variation was significant for most of the traits over environments. Combining ability studies revealed that the lines KL-221 and LCK-9826 were good general combiners for seed yield and most of its components, whereas LMH-62 and LC-2323 were good general combiners for yield components only. Moreover, KL-221 was also a good general combiner for fibre yield. Similarly, B-509 and Ariane were good general combiners for fibre yield and most of its components. Among the specific cross combinations, B-509 × Flak-1 was outstanding for seed yield per plant and B-509 × KL-187 and LC-2323 × LCK-9826 for fibre yield per plant, with high SCA effects. In general, the hybrids excelled their respective parents and the standard checks for most of the characters studied. Based on the comparison of mean performance, SCA effects and the extent of heterosis, the hybrids LC-2323 × LCK-9826 and B-509 × KL-221 appeared to be the most promising for both seed and fibre yield. Other promising combinations were LC-2323 × KL-210 and B-509 × Ariane for seed and fibre yield, respectively. The superiority of LC-2323, LCK-9826, KL-221, B-509 and Ariane as good general combiners was further confirmed by the involvement of these parents in the desirable cross combinations.

The objective of this study was to determine genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genotypic and phenotypic correlations of yield, yield components and kernel quality traits in seven sweet corn varieties. The present research was conducted during 2009 and 2010 growing season in Eskisehir, midwestern Turkey. The trials were set up in randomised complete block design with four replications. Analysis of variance observed highly significant differences for all the examined traits in both years. Sugar content, soluble solid concentration and number of leaves per plant revealed the highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation values. The high heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance for sugar content, soluble solid concentration and starch content. Positive correlations were revealed between yield (husked, dehusked and fresh kernel) and yield components except plant height and 1000 seed weight. Negative correlations were found between kernel quality and yield and yield related traits. It can be concluded that, husked ear weight and dehusked ear weight could be used as the main criteria for yield improvement. It should be unfeasible to develop sweet corn varieties with satisfactory yield potential and improved kernel quality for the different sweet corn markets.

Abstract In hot and arid regions, drought stress is considered as one of the main reasons for yield reduction. To study the effect of drought stress, iron and zinc spray on the yield and yield components of wheat, an experiment was carried out during the crop seasons of 2010 and 2011 on Shahid Salemi Farm in Ahwaz as a split factorial within randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots with irrigation factor and three levels were considered: Level A) full irrigation, Level B) stopping irrigation at pollination step, and Level C) stopping irrigation at the seed filling stage. Subsidiary plots were considered with and without iron and zinc spray. Influencing the seed filling process, in interaction with iron, wich is an important leaf's chlorophyll cation, zinc increased the seed yield. The drought stress reduced the thousand kernels weight (TKW) and the number of seeds per spike increased about 24% and 8.5% more than the one of control treatment, respectively. Using iron, as compared with control treatment, causes the increase of thousand kernels weight from 45.71 to 46.83 grams and the increase of spike from 49.51 to 51.73. Zinc spray increased seed yield and thousand kernels weight. The results obtained from the present research showed that iron and zinc spray has fairly improved the effects caused by drought stress.

New superior varieties (VUB) are a reliable technological innovation to increase rice productivity. This study aims to determine the yield potential of some lowland rice VUB. The assessment was carried out on land owned by a member of the Sumber Rejeki Farmer Group, Cintaratu Village, Lakbok District, Ciamis Regency at Dry Season II in June-September 2020. The study used a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six varieties of treatment and was repeated ten times. The varieties tested were Inpari 32, Inpari 42, Padjadjaran, Cakrabuana, Inpari IR Nutrizinc, and Siliwangi varieties. The variables observed included the growth component, yield component, and yield component. Data were analyzed using the F test followedby the Duncan Multiple Range Test at the Q=5% level. In addition, a correlation test was conducted between the growth components, yield components, and yields. The results of the study indicated that the new superior rice varieties studied had different performance in growth, number of tillers, yield, and yield components. Inpari 42 variety produced the highest productivity, namely 6.88 ton ha-1 which was supported by the number of grains per panicle, percentage of filled grains per panicle, and percentage of empty grain per panicle which were better than other varieties. Plant height and number of grains per panicle were positively correlated with yield.

Hybrid rice technology is one of the promising, sustainable, and proven technologies for increasing rice production and productivity with a yield advantage of 15–30% over modern inbred varieties. The potential of hybrid rice has so far not been exploited in Ghana. This study was undertaken to evaluate the yield potential, reaction to diseases, and physical grain attributes of some introduced hybrids. The trials were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates across three locations. Data were taken on grain yield, yield components, reaction to diseases, and grain physical characteristics. Four promising hybrids (SWARNA 2, ARGH 1501, ARGH 1502, and ARGH 1503) with a mean yield advantage of 15–20.8% over the best inbred check “AgraRice” were identified. With few exceptions, the hybrids were broadly adapted and had adequate resistance to blast and bacterial leaf blight. Most of the test hybrids had long slender grains which make them acceptable to the Ghanaian market but lacked aroma.

ABSTRACT The University of Georgia Extension recommendation for optimum plant stand in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is 13.1 plants/m, although previous work has shown that yield potential can be maintained at lower plant stands. The unpredictable and often extreme weather and the ubiquity of pathogens in the region often contribute to poor emergence and poor plant stands. When plant stand is adversely affected, replanting the field may be a practical option. The objectives of this study were to determine i) the effect of plant stand on yield, grade and disease incidence, ii) at what plant stand peanut gains an advantage from replanting and iii) the best method for replanting peanut when an adequate stand is not achieved. Field trials took place in Plains, GA in 2011, 2012, and 2013; and Tifton, GA in 2012 and 2013 to evaluate peanut production at six plant stands (3.3, 4.9, 6.6, 8.2, 9.8, and 11.5 plants/m, in addition to a 13.1 plants/m control) in combination with three replant practices; i) no replant, ii) destroy the original stand and replant at a full seeding rate, and iii) add a reduced rate of seed to supplement the original stand) in a randomized complete block design. A positive linear trend for yield and a negative linear trend for tomato spotted wilt Tospovirus incidence were discovered as plant stand increased. Yield advantages from replanting occurred via supplemental seed addition to initial stands of 3.3 and 8.2 plants/m. Destroying the initial stand and completely replanting was never beneficial when compared to the other two replant practices. Replanting is warranted via supplemental seed addition at plant stands equal-to or below 8.2 plants/m.
