A field experiment was conducted during kharif season, 2018 and 2019 at S.V. Agricultural college, Tirupati to study the ‘Variation in reproductive efficiency of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) genotypes at different planting densities’. Instant increase in groundnut yields can be achived by reorienting its planting geometry. However identification of right variety with right plant architechture which fits into closed spacings is reduced. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with twelve treatments and three groundnut varities Kadiri 6, Kadiri 9 and Dharani with four spacings (S1: 30X10 cm, S2: 30X5 cm, S3: 20X10 cm and S4: 20X5 cm). Among the Spacings 20X10 cm (50 plants m-2) recorded significantly higher (3,616.87 kg ha-1) followed by 20x5cm (3,157.07 kg ha-1) and significantly lower pod yields in 30x10 cm (2,904.87 kg ha-1) and recommended spacing 30X5cm (2,540.07 kg ha-1). Among the three varieties Decumbent-3, Dharani recorded highest pod yield (3403.48 kg ha-1) followed by Decumbent-2 type, kadiri-9 (3292.65 kg ha-1) and least by Erect type, Kadiri-6 (2467.94 kg ha-1). However genotype performance was varied with the spacings adopted Kadiri-6 performed better under recommended spacing only (30x10 cm). Kadiri-9 variety also showed decreased yields when plant to plant to plant spacing was reduced. However Dharani recorded higher flower to peg ratio, peg to pod ratio and yields even in plant to plant and row to row spacings were reduced. Hence, to increase the groundnut productivity Dharani can be recommended at a spacing of 20x10 cm (50 plants m-2).

Field experiment was conducted to study the thermal energy utilization in mungbean as influenced by sowing times and genotypes during Kharif season of 2014 and 2016 at Research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. Experiment was laid out in split plot design with four main-plot treatments of sowing times (2nd fortnight of June, 1st fortnight of July, 2nd fortnight of July and 1st fortnight of August) and four sub-plot treatments comprised of genotypes (MH 421, Basanti, Sattya and MH 318). The results indicated that yield and yield attributes, phenology, agro-meteorological indices (GDD, HTV, HYTV, PTU and PAR) and yield based thermal energy use efficiencies (HUE, HTUE, HYTUE, PTUE and RUE) were significantly influenced by sowing times and genotypes. Early sowing (2nd fortnight of June) of mungbean was found more suitable and recorded significantly higher yield and thermal energy use efficiencies. Among the genotypes MH 318 was recorded with maximum thermal use efficiencies followed by MH 421.

Field experiment was conducted in 2019 at Haskell Agriculture Laboratory, Concord, NE, USA. Goal of the study was to test the influence of PRE-EM herbicides on the Critical Time for Weed Removal (CTWR) in dicamba-tolerant soybean. The study was arranged in a split-plot design which consisted of four herbicide regimes as main plot treatments and seven weed removal timings as subplot treatments, with four replications. The herbicide regimes included: (1) no PRE and glyphosate, (2) acetochlor and dicamba as PRE and glyphosate as POST, (3) acetochlor and dicamba as PRE and glyphosate and dicamba as POST, and (4) acetochlor and fomesafen as PRE and acetochlor, glyphosate and dicamba as POST. The five weed removal times included the V1, V3, V6, R2 and R5, and there were also weedy and weed-free season long plots. By utilizing herbicide regimes, the CTWR was delayed to 632 GDD (until V4 soybean growth stage, 28 days after emergence) for acetochlor and dicamba as PRE and glyphosate as POST, 861 GDD (until V6 soybean growth stage, 32 days after emergence) for acetochlor and dicamba as PRE and glyphosate and dicamba as POST, and 1060 GDD (until R1 soybean growth stage, 42 days after emergence) for acetochlor and fomesafen as PRE and acetochlor, glyphosate and dicamba as POST.

The data presented in this paper were obtained from a field experiment conducted at Isabela in northwestern Puerto Rico, employing a split plot design in which the age of the sugarcane at harvest (12, 14, and 16 months) was tested in the main plots and eight varieties in the subplots. The varieties were: P.R. 980, P.R. 1117, P.R. 1140, P.R. 1166, P.R. 1148, P.R. 1152, P.R. 1165, and P.R. 1158. Four replications were used. A statistical analysis of the data revealed that higher sugar yields were obtained when the cane was harvested at 16 rather than at 14 or 12 months of age under the conditions prevailing at Isabela and irrespective of variety. Yields also were higher at 14 than at 12 months. These differences were highly significant.

The productivity of manglid (Magnolia champaca (L.) Baill. Ex Pierre) as the prominent plant commodity in West Java, can be improved by environmental manipulation such as spacing and fertilization. The objective of this research is to identify the effect of plant spacing and the use of goat urine as the leaves fertilizer on manglid planting until 19 month old. We used Randomized Block with Split Plot Design using three times replication. Main factor to be considered is the plant spacing with three different space :3  x 3 m (J1) ; 2  x 3 m (J2) and 2  x 2 m (J), while the secondary factor is three different doses of goat urine given : control (P1), 240 ml (P2), and 480  ml(P3. The results showed that the best treatment of planting manglid were treatment spacing of 2 x 2 m with goat urine fertilizer application as much as 240 ml per plant that produces high 191,5 cm and 3.83 cm of diameter up to the age of 19 months.

Number of spikes per plant and number of capsules per spike (58.84, 69.07 in 2012 and 2013 respectively) were more when castor was planted at 90 cm x 45 cm.  Hundred seed weight and seed yield were not significantly influenced by planting geometry. Application of 120 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> recorded higher number of spikes per plant and capsules per spike but it was on par with 90 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup>. Seed yield was higher with application of 120 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup>  in both the years but it was on par with 90 kg N  ha<sup>-1</sup>.Comparatively higher seed yield was recorded during 2013 due to the receipt of high rainfall.</em></p></div>
