To achieve enhanced nitrogen removal, we modified a cultivation system with circulated irrigation of treated municipal wastewater by using rice for animal feed instead of human consumption. The performance of this modified system was evaluated through a bench-scale experiment by comparing the direction of circulated irrigation (i.e. passing through paddy soil upward and downward). The modified system achieved more than three times higher nitrogen removal (3.2 g) than the system in which rice for human consumption was cultivated. The removal efficiency was higher than 99.5%, regardless of the direction of circulated irrigation. Nitrogen in the treated municipal wastewater was adsorbed by the rice plant in this cultivation system as effectively as chemical fertilizer used in normal paddy fields. Circulated irrigation increased the nitrogen released to the atmosphere, probably due to enhanced denitrification. Neither the circulation of irrigation water nor its direction affected the growth of the rice plant and the yield and quality of harvested rice. The yield of rice harvested in this system did not reach the target value in normal paddy fields. To increase this yield, a larger amount of treated wastewater should be applied to the system, considering the significant amount of nitrogen released to the atmosphere.

For studies on the relationship between photosynthetic capacity and yield components in sunflower a method for estimating leaf area was required. To this end use of the leaf area coefficient (LAC), i.e. the quotient area/(length X max. width), was evaluated. It was found that LAC may be a function of leaf position and plant density, depending on the cv. concerned. For the Russian cv. Armavirec, LAC was independent of leaf position and plant density. For the Rumanian hybrid HS 18, LAC was dependent on leaf position but not plant density. For the French hybrid INRA 4701, LAC depended on both leaf position and plant density, but even in this case, it was concluded that LAC can be a useful aid in leaf area estimation.

A field experiment was conducted in South Australia to examine the relationship between juvenile lodging (lodging prior to stem elongation) and ear production in barley. Two levels of nitrogen application and six treatments were used either to prevent or increase juvenile lodging in two cultivars. Applications of 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC) at the fourth and sixth leaf stages shortened both pseudostems and leaves, prevented juvenile lodging, and increased the number of ears and the grain yield. CCC did not reduce the mature plant height, but did increase the incidence of Rhynchosporium secalis in one cultivar. Ear numbers were marginally increased by supporting the crop with a wire grid or by defoliating the crop to 20 cm at the fifth leaf stage, but this advantage was nullified by a compensating decrease in the other yield components. Removing up to 4 units of leaf area index at this stage did not reduce the yield. Deliberately lodging the crop before stem elongation had little effect since most of the controls lodged naturally. All treatments became erect during stem elongation, and the plants did not lodge again before maturity. It is concluded that short pseudostems, a maximum leaf length under 30 cm, fewer leaves per culm and a shorter period prior to stem elongation are characters which will reduce the juvenile lodging in barley which occurs when the crop is sown early at high plant densities or is grown at high fertility levels.

An analysis of the yield components of rape (Brassica napus L.) was carried out under field conditions for 2 yr at Saskatoon. Plant morphology and the crop environment were altered by the use of four planting densities and three water regimes. The number of branches per plant was scarcely affected by irrigation, but was reduced by high seeding rates. Number of pods per plant was increased by irrigation and reduced by high seeding rates. The number of seeds per pod was increased by irrigation, but reduced by high seeding rates. The 1,000-seed weight was increased both by irrigation and increased seeding rate, as was seed yield. Yield was positively correlated with 1,000-seed weight in both years. Yield component compensation was evident in the relationship of 1,000-seed weight to pod number and number of seeds per pod.
