Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the grain yield, some yield components and quality parameters of mung bean and guar genotypes as summer legumes in East of Mediterranean region of Turkey. Methods: The field experiments were organized in randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with three replications throughout 2016 and 2018. Result: The greatest the grain yield of mung bean was achieved by genotype KPS1 (3141kg ha-1) and lowest one was obtained from VC6153B6 (2344 kg ha-1) in the average of years. According to the mean years, maximum grain yield of guar was produced by genotype 45 (2354 kg ha-1), while the lowest grain yield was obtained from genotype 37 (1561 kg ha-1). Ash, crude protein, ADF and NDF contents in mung bean genotypes varied beetwen 2.8 and 3.0%, 21.9 and 25.3%, 30.8 and 34.6% and 41.3 and 49.7% in the average of years, respectively. Guar genotypes contain 90.3 to 90.7 drymatter, 4.8 to 5.0% crude ash, 3.8 to 4.6% crude fat, and 33.2 to 35.4% crude protein.

Irrigation Treatments

This research was conducted in Bursa, Marmara region, Turkey, in order to determine grain yield and some morphological traits which affect the silage maize response to different irrigation water amounts. The grains’ percentage of crude oil and of crude protein were determined. Field experiments were planned following randomized complete block design with three replications and included six irrigation treatments. Irrigation treatments were created as water levels of pan evaporation (Epan) applied via drip irrigation [1.25 × Epan (I125), 1.00 × Epan (I100), 0.75 × Epan (I75), 0.50 × Epan (I50), 0.25 × Epan (I25) and 0 × Epan (I0)]. The highest value of grain yield was found to be 18,268 kg ha-1 in the I125 treatment, which represents excessive water. A quadratic relationship between grain yield and irrigation water applied was obtained. Deficit irrigation decreased grain yield and yield components except the percentage of crude oil and crude protein of grain, but improved the efficient use of irrigation water. Relationships between the grain yield and each yield component were positively significant. The highest correlation coefficient in the research gave the relationship between grain yield and plant height (r=0.957**). The results revealed that 1.25 × Epan and 1.00 × Epantreatments are preferable for higher yield. The results of this study also suggest that if water is limited, the application of 0.75 × Epan can be recommended as optimal treatment, because the best compromise among yield, yield components, quality and irrigation water use efficiency for maize was achieved with this application.

Abstract Field experiments were conducted in the growing seasons of 2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019 to evaluate the competitive effects of rattail fescue [Vulpia myuros (L.) C.C. Gmel.] in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and to assess whether delayed crop sowing and increased crop density influence the emergence, competitiveness, and fecundity of V. myuros. Cumulative emergence showed the potential of V. myuros to emerge rapidly and under a wide range of climatic conditions with no effect of crop density and variable effects of sowing time between the two experiments. Grain yield and yield components were negatively affected by increasing V. myuros density. The relationship between grain yield and V. myuros density was not influenced by sowing time or by crop density, but crop–weed competition was strongly influenced by growing conditions. Due to very different weather conditions, grain yield reductions were lower in the growing season of 2017 to 2018 than in 2018 to 2019, with maximum grain yield losses of 22% and 50% in the two growing seasons, respectively. The yield components, number of crop ears per square meter, and 1,000-kernel weight were affected almost equally, reflecting that V. myuros’s competition with winter wheat occurred both early and late in the growing season. Seed production of V. myuros was suppressed by delaying sowing and increasing crop density. The impacts of delayed sowing and increasing crop density on seed production of V. myuros highlight the potential of these cultural weed control tactics in the long-term management programs of this species.

During 1985 to 1989, a series of field experiments were conducted at the Rice Research Station in Crowley, LA. Path analysis was employed to evaluate the competitive interaction between a weed (red rice) and cultivated rice (Mars). The path analysis quantified direct effects of red rice and Mars rice densities on the yield components (grain weight, percent filled florets, number of florets panicle−1, and panicles plant−1) of red rice and Mars rice. The model illustrated the direct and indirect effects of the yield components on fecundity and grain yield plant−1. The direct effects of Mars and red rice densities on panicles plant−1and florets panicle−1were always negative. In contrast, the effects of density on percent filled florets and grain weight varied from positive to negative and were relatively small, implying that they were determined primarily by density-independent factors. Path analysis indicated that the number of panicles plant−1and florets panicle−1were the most important yield components determining the responses of fecundity and grain yield to competition.

Greenhouse pot trials and field experiments were carried out under rain-fed condition in north-eastern Jordan during 1997–98 and 1998–99 growing seasons, to test 3 barley genotypes for their suitability for both forage and grain production. The varieties Rehani and ACSAD176 produced higher forage yields than Rum. In the field, clipping reduced subsequent grain yield per plant by about 18%, lowering grain weight of the main spike from 2.3�g in the control to 1.8 g in the clipped plants. Clipping increased tiller density of barley plants in the field. Decreases in grain yield following clipping could also be attributed to reductions in the number of grains per spike. Clipping decreased the number of grains per spike by about 9% by reducing the number of spikelets per spike. Cutting reduced 1000-grain weight by about 9%. Clipping induced changes in the relative importance of yield components influencing subsequent grain yield. The yield components reduced by clipping were the most important contributors to loss of grain yield.

Field experiments were conducted during the winter seasons of 1998–1999 and 1999–2000 at Houfa in northern Jordan, to study the effect of the date and rate of sowing on the yield and yield components of narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.). Progressive delays in sowing beyond 1 st January led to yield reductions of 11.1 and 17.9 at successive 15-day intervals. Plant height, pods stem –1, stems m –2 and 1000-grain weight followed the same trend as the yield. Grain yield was not significantly affected by the sowing rate.

Endangered catfish Rita rita were reared in a cemented raceway to observe the culture potentiality at three different stocking densities (4, 8 and 16 juveniles/m 3) under the three treatments (T1, T2 and T3, respectively) with three replications each. The mean initial length and weight of Rita juveniles were 20.15±1.51 cm and 100.26±6.57 g, respectively. The fish were reared by providing clean poultry viscera (containing 48.56% crude protein) at 3% of biomass once a day. The water quality parameters were measured daily and found them within suitable ranges. The growth parameters such as final mean total length, relative length gain, mean body weight, relative weight gain, SGR and condition factor were significantly (p<0.5) higher in T1 compared to those of T2 and T3. The survival rate was 100% in all the treatments, and the fish production was significantly (p<0.5) higher in T3 (8.38±0.04 kg/m 3 and 8380.40±4.05 kg/ha) than those of T2 (4.49±0.03 kg/m 3 and 4493.00±3.22 kg/ha) and T1 (2.36±0.02 kg/m 3 and 2362.00±2.00 kg/ha). Though the growth performance of R. rita was significantly influenced by the lowest stocking density but the production findings suggest that this species can be reared at the minimum density of 16 juveniles/m 3 in cemented raceway with suitable environment and adequate supplemental feed.

The final leaf number is an important morphological characteristic of maize (Zea mays L.) and is therefore an important input parameter in some maize crop models. In this study, field experiments were conducted from 2013 to 2016 at 23 sites across China, which were located between latitudes of 26°30′ and 46°45′ N, focusing on five modern maize cultivars, in order to determine the amplitude of variation in mean leaf numbers between each cultivar, identify differences between the mean leaf numbers of cultivars under different climatic conditions, and clarify the effects of the differences in final leaf numbers on aboveground dry matter (DM) and grain yield. The results showed that the mean final leaf numbers increased in the order of XY335 < NH101 < ZD909 < ZD958 < DH11 among the five cultivars, with the wide distribution ranges of final leaf numbers being 17.0–23.3 (DH11), 16.7–22.3 (ZD958), 16.7–22.0 (ZD909), 16.7–22.3 (NH101), and 17.0–22.0 (XY335) across all locations. In addition, leaf numbers above and below the primary ear showed the same trends with the mean final leaf numbers for the same cultivars. Many climatic factors were found to significantly affect the final leaf numbers across four maize-growing regions in China, and the result of stepwise regression indicated that the influences of photoperiod and temperature, in particular, were greater than other climatic factors for these cultivars. Finally, there were found to be significant and positive relationships between the final leaf number and (1) the maximum leaf area index (LAImax), (2) DM at both silking and physiological maturity, and (3) grain yield for the same cultivars across all locations. The results of this study are of great importance for guiding future trans-regional maize cultivation and further model calibration.

The long-term effect of N and P fertilisation on the grain yield, yield components and quality parameters of winter wheat was studied for different sites in the National Long-term Fertilisation Trials in Hungary. This network of small-plot fertilisation experiments has been maintained since 1967 in nine different agro-ecological regions of the country. Increasing P and N doses had a considerable effect on the grain yield, yield components and quality parameters of winter wheat according to the results evaluated in the first 20-year average of the experiments. However, these effects differed depending on the agro-ecological conditions of the sites. Yield increases could be detected at lower fertiliser doses, and improvement in quality parameters at higher rates.

Ripe Stage

The three commonly used techniques, viz. critical point model, area under the curve and multiple linear regression, were applied to study the relationship between scald infection and grain yield in field experiments conducted during 1979-1983 in Western Australia. In the preliminary analysis leaf three from the top and the mean of the top three leaves were found to be best correlated with yield. The three models did not dilfer greatly, presumably owing to the high correlations between scald at the milky ripe stage and at the earlier growth stages. The critical point model was chosen because of its simplicity. Percentage yield loss in combined data from all experiments showed a significant correlation (P < 0.001) with scald at the milky ripe stage and defined percentage yield loss in cultivars Clipper and Stirling to be about one-third of the mean scald damage on leaves 1 (flag), 2 and 3 at g.s. 75. Due to the range of trials in this analysis, it was suggested that this relationship may be applied to estimate yield loss from survey data in other parts of southern Australia, where scald is endemic.
