SUMMARYCrop Growth Rate, Leaf Area Index, Net Assimilation Rate and Harvest Index were estimated for oil palms in nine age groups growing on coastal alluvial soils in Malaysia. The mean Crop Growth Rate of mature palms was 29·83 t./ha./yr, with a Leaf Area Index of 3·61, and Net Assimilation Rate was 0·16 gm./dm.2/wk. Photosynthetic efficiency was about 2·2 per cent. Oil constituted about 17 per cent of total dry matter production. Possibilities for improving the yield of oil are briefly discussed.

Seven potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes were evaluated, Norteña, Gigant, Mondial, Snowden, Alpha, Atlantic and Russett Burbank, under growth analysis efficiency and productivity criteria (six samples, every 18 days) like crop growth rate (CGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Relative Leaf Growth Rate (RLGR), Leaf Area Ratio (LAR), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Net Assimilation Rate (NAR). Differences were found (p £ 0.01) for variables in study (except for NAR), for sample variation differences (six along the cycle) being higher CGR in forth sample with Norteña and Russett Burbank genotypes. Norteña, Russett Burbank and Alpha were higher on TCR, showing a considerable increment on fifth and sixth sample. The best genotype on LAR were Atlantic and Snowden, showing Russett Burbank a pronounce decrement on fifth and sixth sample, because of foliar senescence. Respect to LAI, the best genotypes were Norteña and Gigant, being higher on forth and sixth sample, without senescence until this sample. For NAR, no differences were found between genotypes, Norteña was a little bit higher, showing the other five genotypes a similar behavior.

An experiment was conducted at Sadipur charland under Farming System Research and Development Site, Hatgobindapur, Faridpur, during rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to study the growth and yield performance of cv. BARI Gom-24 as affected by different dates of sowing under Agro-ecological Zone-12 (AEZ-12) of Bangladesh. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with six replications, comprising five different dates of sowing viz. November 5, November 15, November 25, December 5 and December 15. Results reveal that the tallest plant, leaf area index, total dry matter, and crop growth rate were observed in November 25 sown crop and leaf area index, total dry matter and crop growth rate were higher at booting, grain filling, and tillering stages of the crop. Maximum effective tillers hill-1 (3.49), spikes m-2, (311), number of grains spike-1 (42.20) and 1000-grain weight (52.10 g) were produced by November 25 sown crop exhibited the highest grain (4.30 t ha-1) and straw yield (4.94 t ha-1) as well as harvest index (46.88%) of the crop. Lowest performance was observed both in early (November 5) and late sown crop (December 15). The overall results indicated that November 25 sown crop showed better performance in respect of growth and yield of wheat under charland ecosystem of Bangladesh.J. Bangladesh Agril.

A field experiment was conducted under humid subtropical agro-climatic condition of Nepal during rainy season of 2014. The experiment was laid out in to two factor Randomized Complete Block Design with  three replications consisting three drought tolerant rice varieties (Sukhadhan-4, Sukhadhan-5 and Radha-4) and four planting geometry (15 cm × 10 cm, 15 cm × 15 cm, 20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 20 cm). The results revealed that the highest plant height and maximum leaf area index was recorded in planting geometry 15 cm × 10 cm in all growth stages. Whereas, planting geometry 20 cm × 15 cm produced the maximum number of tiller m-2 in all growth stage.  While planting geometry 20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 20 cm produced statistically similar crop growth rate and dry matter accumulation in all stage of growth. Regarding the varieties, Sukhadhan- 4 showed highest plant height up to 75 DAT and plant height was statistically similar to Radha - 4 in 60 and 75 DAT. But maximum number of tiller m-2, leaf area index, crop growth rate and dry matter accumulation were recorded in Sukhadhan – 5 varieties. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 5(4): 423-429

Groundnut is grown during July to October in kharif season, however area under early kharif (sowing in May) is increasing in Andhra Pradsh, where ever irrigation facilities exists. Hence to identify suitable variety for the situation, fourteen pre release and two released groundnut genotypes were evaluated during early kharif 2013 for growth, physiological traits and yield attributes. At harvest genotypes TCGS-1375 (41.331 g plant-1), TCGS-1342(41.059 g plant-1) significantly recorded higher total dry matter compared to all other cultivars and checks followed by TCGS-1330 (36.667 g plant-1), TCGS-1349 (36.433 g plant-1). TCGS-1342 recorded significantly higher Crop Growth Rate (CGR) value of 33.848 g m-2 day-1, where as TCGS-1346 (0.1265 g dm-2 day-1) and TCGS-1330 (0.1262 g dm-2 day-1) recorded significantly higher Net Assimilation Rate (NAR) values at 45-60 DAS. Cultivar, TCGS-1330 recorded significantly higher pod yield 4210.44 Kg ha-1 compared to other entries and checks. The results revealed that pre release genotypes, TCGS-1342, TCGS-1375, TCGS-1330, TCGS-1346 recorded high physiological efficiency in terms of growth and physiological traits viz. total dry matter (TDM), crop growth rate (CGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and leaf area index (LAI) and also recorded high pod yield.

A study was made of the light regime and the growth of clover: (a) in mixed swards with varying proportions of grass; (b) in specially designed cultures in which grass and clover competed for light alone. The growth of the clover showed direct dependence on the level of radiation at the surface of the clover leaf canopy; it was positive when radiation values were above about 60–80 cal/cm²/day but fell to zero or negative rates at lower radiation levels. A relationship is presented between the level of radiation, the leaf area index, and the crop growth rate. It is shown that the optimum leaf area index increases with increasing levels of radiation; and further that as the leaf area index increases, the level of radiation required for maximum growth rate also rises. The implications in agricultural practice are discussed briefly.
