Incidence of Phomopsis seed decay is frequently high and quality low in seed from early-maturing maturity group III and IV soybean cultivars planted in early to mid-April in the southern United States. Cultivars resistant to this disease have not been available until the recent release of germ plasm lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181. Our objective was to determine the effects of planting dates with these lines and one Phomopsis seed decay-susceptible soybean cultivar, Asgrow 3834, on seed infection by Phomopsis spp. and on yield and the correlation between percentage of Asgrow 3834 infected with Phomopsis spp. and seed quality. Generally, yields averaged over years were significantly greater for mid-April than mid-June plantings, and yields of cultivars were similar within a planting date. Soybean lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181 were highly resistant to Phomopsis seed decay compared with the susceptible cultivar, Asgrow 3834. There was a significant, negative correlation between germination of seed from mid-April plantings of Asgrow 3834 and percentage of these seed infected with Phomopsis spp. Moreover, there were significant correlations between fatty acid composition of Asgrow 3834 seed and the percentage of these seed infected with Phomopsis spp. This altered composition of fatty acids may be responsible for reduced quality of oil derived from seed infected with this fungus. Phomopsis seed decay-resistant soybean lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181 should be useful in breeding programs focused on developing high-yielding cultivars resistant to this disease.

The identification of seed quality is very important for which the quality of seed is crucial to the yield and quality of crops. There are two main problems with the acquisition and identification of cracks inside corn seed. One is that most of the methods of near-infrared spectroscopy or X-ray are used to obtain images of cracks inside the seed, the acquisition equipment is expensive and the operation is complicated. The other is the identification of crack images, and the traditional image processing method is usually used which requires professionals to design different model parameters each time, resulting in poor model robustness and low model accuracy. In this study, we originally proposed a simple but effective method to obtain the picture of corn seed internal cracks, which is combined with visible light transmission and ordinary camera acquisition method. We also proposed using the transfer learning methods not only solving the problem of the small scale of our corn seed internal cracks dataset but also avoiding extracting features manually. Our proposed method achieved a promising result, which is able to correctly identify the cracked and intact corn seed 100% in our training stage and testing stage.

The effect of planting date on phasic development, LAI, yield, yield determinants and seed quality of soybeans was studied in eight seasons. For all development phases up to the end of flowering, each phase was longer for longer daylengths within a cultivar, with later maturing cultivars having increasing sensitivity to daylength. LAI at flowering for each treatment was a function of time from flowering. The yield of Bragg and indeterminate cultivars (Wayne, Delmar and Ruse) decreased if planted in early November. There was generally a decreased yield at a late January planting due to small plant size (low LAI and few mainstem nodes) and in some instances, decreased seed size. Planting dates in December appeared to be optimum, although season and cultivar differences occurred. Seed oil content decreased and protein content increased as planting was delayed.

Flax is a known but extremely rare crop for the Republic of Moldova. The potential level of agri-cultural production is generally considered to be determined by physical factors such as quality of the soil, quality and availability of water and the prevailing climate. Current studies cover at the international level the following directions: increase of productivity potential, increase of resistance to unfavorable bio-tic and abiotic factors, improvement of qualitative yield indices. The seed quality and seed production are known to be conditioned by the optimum planting date and the technological level used.

Isu nasional menurunnya produksi budidaya ikan bandeng di tambak pantai utara Pulau Jawa didugasebagai akibat rendahnya kualitas benih produk Hatchery Skala Rumah Tangga (HSRT) di Bali, yang secara kontinu merupakan sumber utama pasok benih. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi kualitas benih, antara lain kualitas telur dan induk, serta manajemen pemeliharaan induk dan larva. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi performa pertumbuhan,aktivitas enzim pencernaan dan nutrisi benih ikan bandeng dari HSRT dan generasi kedua (G2) terseleksi yang dipelihara berdasarkan standar operasional prosedur. Penelitian dilakukan di tambak Pejarakan, dengan hewan uji benih produk HSRT dan benih generasi ke-2 (G-2) terseleksi dengan panjang total rata-rata 11,79 ± 1,64 mm, masing-masing dengan padat tebar 5.000 ekor/petak dengan luasan 0,5 Ha/petak, diberi pakan jenis pelet kering berkadar protein 25 % dan dipelihara selama 6 bulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan performa benih ikan bandeng dipengaruhi oleh sumber induk dan manajemen pemeliharaan saat larva. Pertumbuhan benih ikan bandeng asal HSRT dengan SOP pemeliharaan larva menunjukkan peningkatan laju pertumbuhan panjang dan bobot sebesar 10,11% dan 47,18% lebih tinggi dibandingkan benih G2-terseleksi, dan 13,82% dan 50,55% lebih tinggi dibandingkan benih HSRT tanpa SOP. Aktivitas enzimatis pada benih HSRT dengan SOP lebih efisien dibandingkan benih G2-terseleksi. Aktivitas enzimatis pada benih HSRT tanpa SOP adalah yang paling rendah dimana hal ini terlihat dari laju pertumbuhannya yang juga paling rendah. Benih HSRT yang dipelihara dengan SOP mampu menekan rasio konversi pakan sebesar 28,29% lebih rendah dibandingkan benih G2-terseleksi, dan 22,64% dibandingkan benih HSRT yang dipelihara tanpa SOP. Currently, there is a national concern regarding the decreasing of milkfish production from ponds in North Java allegedly due to a low quality of milkfish seed produced by small-scale hatcheries in Bali, which is the main producer of milkfish seed. Some factors can influence seed quality, such as quality of egg and broodstock also rearing management of broodstock and larvae. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate morphological aspect (growth rate) and biological aspect (digestive enzymes activities) of seed from backyard hatchery and selected G2 milkfish. Research on grow-out of milkfish seed was conducted at the IMRAD ponds facility in Pejarakan, using milkfish seed produced by small-scale hatcheries as well as selected second-generation (G-2) seed, each with the density of 5,000 seed/pond (1 pond=0.5 ha). The seeds were fed with dry pellet and reared for 6 months.The result showed performance of seed in terms of morphological and biological influenced by broodstock itself and larvae rearing management.The growth of seed of HSRT origin with larvae rearing SOP had increased the length of and weight growth rates of 10.11% and 47.18%, respectively compared to seed G2 selected and 13.82% and 50.55% from seed HSRT without SOP. Enzymatic activity in HSRT seed with SOP was more efficient than that of selected G2 seed. Enzymatic activity in HSRT seed without SOP was the lowest in which correlated to the lowest growth. Seed from HSRT origin with SOP had better feed conversion ratio which was 28.29% lower than that of selected G2 seed and 22.64% lower than that of HSRT seed without SOP.

Four planting and harvest dates yielded 16 lots of `Ruddy' red kidney beans (Phaseofus vulgaris L.) that were canned immediately after harvest in the fall and from storage in January and April. Late planting resulted in a high percentage of acceptable beans, but time of harvest had little effect on subsequent canning quality. The most important defect was transverse splitting from the hilum. Hilum splits, drained weight, cooked weight, and seed size were all negatively correlated with acceptability. Seed size was the most important factor determining quality, with the smallest seeds exhibiting the fewest splits. Length of storage had significant but small effects on canned seed quality.

Fertilization is needed to support the growth of soybean plants. Nitrogen is a type of fertilizer that is needed by soybeans in considerable amounts. Aplication of nitrogen at different times is able to affect the production and quality of soybean seeds. The purpose of this study was to attain information about the morphology, physiology, and production responses of two soybean varieties to the supply of N. This research was conducted at the Cikabayan Experimental Station, IPB University, Dramaga, Bogor Regency. This study used a completely randomized block design with two factors, namely two soybean varieties consisting of Tanggamus and Biosoy 1, and four combinations of N fertilizer doses that were without N fertilization, fertilized N at planting date, fertilized N at the seed filling phase, and fertilized N at planting date+seed filling phase with two replications. The dosage of urea fertilizer used was 25 kg ha-1, so that the N dosages is obtained 11,5 kg ha-1. The results showed that the application of N fertilizers at planting and during the seed filling phase (N3) was an effective time to increase soybean production.   Keywords: fertilization, morphology, seed quality
