A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, to study the influence of irrigation scheduling (IW:CPE ratios) and sulphur on yield and quality of <italic>rabi</italic> pigeonpea (<italic>Cajanus cajan</italic> L<italic>.</italic>) under middle Gujarat conditions during <italic>rabi</italic>, 2009-10 on loamy sand soil. Irrigation scheduling at 0.8 IW/CPE ratios (I<sub>3</sub>) resulted in significantly the highest grain yield (1677 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>), protein content (20.85 %) and significantly higher stover yield (4858 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) and gave highest net monetary returns of Rs.37591 ha<sup>−1</sup> with maximum B:C ratio of 2.34. Application of sulphur @ 40 kg S ha<sup>−1</sup> (S<sub>2</sub>) recorded significantly the highest grain (1630 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) and stover (4819 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) yields. In case of protein content and economics, application of sulphur @ 40 kg S ha<sup>−1</sup> recorded significantly the highest protein content (21.03 %) and the highest net monetary returns of Rs.35000 ha<sup>−1</sup> with maximum B:C ratio of 2.19. Interaction effect between irrigation scheduling and sulphur levels on grain yield was highly significant. Irrigation scheduled at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio with the application of 40 kg S ha<sup>−1</sup> recorded significantly higher grain yield (1929 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) , however, it was at par with the irrigation scheduled at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio with 20 kg S ha<sup>−1</sup>.

A study was conducted with graded levels of potassium and sulphur on pigeon pea to assess the nutrient uptake, yield and quality at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur (M.S.) The data revealed that application of K and S levels significantly influenced the uptake of major and micronutrient in pigeon pea. High N and P uptake was observed due to application of 30 kg potassium and 20 kg sulphur per hectare. Potassium uptake was increased significantly with increasing the levels of K. The highest K uptake was noticed in 45 kg K and 20 kg S per hectare combination. The recovery of NPK was higher in 30 kg potassium per hectare. Due to increased level of potassium and sulpur there was no adverse effect on calcium assimilation and highest uptake of calcium was observed in the application 30 kg K and 20 kg S per hectare. The optimum supply of K and S improves the uptake of micronutrients. Significantly high grain yield and protein yield was observed due to application 30 kg K and 20 kg S per hectare. Therefore balanced fertilization of NPKS nutrients is required in pigeon pea.

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to study the yield and quality of aromatic fine rice as affected by variety and nutrient management during the period from June to December 2013. The experiment comprised three aromatic fine rice varieties viz. BRRI dhan34, BRRI dhan37 and BRRI dhan38, and eight nutrient managements viz. control (no manures and fertilizers), recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers, cowdung at 10 t ha-1, poultry manure at 5 t ha-1, 50% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% cowdung, 50% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% poultry manure, 75% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% cowdung and 75% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% poultry manure. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The tallest plant (142.7 cm), the highest number of effective tillers hill(10.02), number of grains panicle (152.3), panicle length (-1 -122.71cm), 1000-grain weight (15.55g) and grain yield (3.71 t ha-1) were recorded in BRRI dhan34. The highest grain protein content (8.17%) was found in BRRI dhan34 whereas the highest aroma was found in BRRI dhan37 and BRRI dhan38. The highest number of effective tillers hill(11.59), number of grains panicle (157.6), panicle length (24.31 cm-1-1) and grain yield (3.97 t ha-1) were recorded in the nutrient management of 75% recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% cowdung (5 t ha-1). The treatment control (no manures and fertilizers) gave the lowest values for these parameters. The highest grain yield (4.18 t ha-1) was found in BRRI dhan34 combined with 75% recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% cowdung, which was statistically identical to BRRI dhan34 combined with 75% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% poultry manure and the lowest grain yield (2.7 t ha-1) was found in BRRI dhan37 in control (no manures and fertilizers). The highest grain protein content (10.9 %) was obtained in the interaction of BRRI dhan34 with recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers which was as good as that of BRRI dhan38 and 75% of recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% poultry manure. The highest aroma was found in BRRI dhan38 combined with 75% recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50% cowdung.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 12(2): 279-284, December 2014

Abstract Pyrenophora teres (net blotch) and Cochliobolus sativus (spot blotch), the most widely spread diseases in the Northern Baltic region, have high impact on cereal production. The effect of three levels of fertilisation and two fungicide treatments on the severity of barley diseases, grain yield and quality traits (protein content, test weight, thousand kernel weight (TKW), grading) was tested during a period of three years. Weather conditions during the growing season highly determined disease severity, yield and quality. In addition, the infection level of P. teres was more dependent on fungicide treatment (p ≤ 0.001) and barley variety (p ≤ 0.001) while C. sativus infection was influenced more by fertilisation (p ≤ 0.001) and year x fertilisation interaction (p ≤ 0.001). Fungicide treatment had no influence on grain yield and protein content, but slightly improved TKW (p ≤ 0.05), test weight (p ≤ 0.001) and grading (p ≤ 0.001). However, these quality traits were mostly influenced by barley variety (p ≤ 0.001). TKW and test weight were highest at fertilisation level N80P12K43. The effect of year and fertilisation contributed significantly to the grain protein content. Grain yield and protein content were highest at the maximum fertiliser application (N100P15K54).

This study was conducted during two crop seasons to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer quantity and application form on grain yield and quality in Eskisehir Transitional Zone Agricultural Research Institute by using seven bread wheat cultivars in rainfed and eight in irrigated conditions. In the study, urea as a source of nitrogen was applied in heading time (Zadoks 59) in granular and foliar form. In all treatments grain yield, some technological quality characteristics were determined of the genotypes. In both conditions while sedimentation value, protein content, aggregation energy (AGGEN) and maximum torque (BEM) values increased, peak maximum time (PMT) decreased with foliar urea applications. it was determined that there were statistically significant differences between the varieties in terms of SDS sedimentation values in both rainfed and irrigated conditions. In this study, In irrigated and rainfed conditions the values obtained from foliar urea applications compared to granular ones with relation higher bread quality in the genotypes which contain Glu-A1 locus 2* subunit; 9% for grain yield, 6.5% for protein content, 17.0% for sedimentation value and 3.8% increase of BEM, Glu-D1 locus; 5+10 subunit 8% for grain yield, 5.6% for protein content, sedimentation 16.0%, 6.4% for BEM increase, for Glu-B1 locus; 7+9 subunit 7.0% for grain yield, 6.0% for protein content, 19.6% for sedimentation value, and 7.2% for BEM value increase. This study was observed that the foliar application during the heading time provided the improvement of bread wheat grain yield and quality characteristics.

A field experiment was conducted over five years to determine the effect of season-long kochia interference on oat yield and quality. Kochia interference did not affect oat height, test weight, 500-kernel weight, or groat percentage. Similarly, ash, starch, and total β-glucan percentages in oat groat were not affected by kochia interference. Oat grain yield was reduced in 1991 and 1994 by 30 kochia plants/m2, the highest density. Lipid and protein content were not affected by kochia except in 1992 where protein content was reduced and lipid content was increased by kochia.

To find out exactly how sowing density and sowing pattern affect soybean grain yield, quality and its components in non-traditional soybean growing regions, such as Germany, two field trials have been conducted at two locations in Bavaria in 2016 and 2017. The experiments were carried out with four sowing densities (30, 50, 70, 90 seeds/m<sup>2</sup>) and four cultivars from different maturity groups (Viola 000, Lissabon 000, ES Mentor 00, Orion 00) as randomized complete block design with four replicates. Almost all evaluated traits varied significantly depending on year × location. There was no interaction between the main factors (cultivar × sowing density). The results revealed that grain yield and height of the first pod increased with increase of sowing density. The number of pods per plant and branching decreased with increasing sowing density. At higher sowing densities at flowering leaf area index was significantly higher than at lower sowing densities. The cv. ES Mentor (00) with 70 seeds/m<sup>2</sup> has proved to be a suitable cultivar in terms of yield and quality in southern Germany (&gt; 3.6 t/ha grain yield and 40% protein).

A traditional scented rice (cv. Radhunipagal) was tested under varied spacing (20 cm × 20 cm, 20 cm × 15 cm, 15 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 10 cm) and seedling age (25, 35 and 45 days) during wet (kharif) season of 2018 at B.C.K.V., Nadia, West Bengal. Seedling age caused significant variation in life duration and summed GDD from 147.9 days and 2436°C day (25-day aged) to 162.0 days and 2753°C day (45-day aged), but with maturity in same meteorological week. Square planting (15 cm × 15 cm or 44 hills m-2) resulted in highest grain yield (2.52 t ha-1), which was 2.85, 11.01 and 4.56% greater over wider (20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 20 cm) and closer spacings (20 cm × 10 cm). Radhunipagal rice raised with 25-days old seedlings recorded the highest grain yield (2.53 t ha-1) and maximum heat use efficiency (0.90 kg ha-1 °C day-1), and that yield was 0.12 and 0.22 t ha-1 greater over the crops planted with 35 and 45-days old seedlings during wet season. Spacing could not influence the cooking and processing quality (gelatinization temperature, kernel elongation ratio and aroma) except protein content of milled rice in the study. Radhunipagal paddy planted with 45-day aged seedlings recorded maximum protein content (6.36%) and alkali spreading value (score 3.27).

Grain Yield And Quality

Cultivation of malting barley is particularly challenging as the requirements of growers, for high yield, and that of the brewing industry, seeking a specific quality criteria, must be met simultaneously. Furthermore, significant genotypic and environmental variations in grain yield and quality properties may occur. To investigate the relationships between grain yield and quality parameters of spring malting barley, a 2-year experiment was carried out in order to characterise the genotypic and year effects on grain yield, quality properties, and yield components of 23 high-yielding varieties of spring malting barley under optimal nitrogen (N) fertilisation. Compared to the grain quality properties of the grain protein content and the grain retention fraction of grain size >2.5 mm, less genotypic and environmental variation in grain yield was observed. Grain yield was closely related to spikes per m2, suggesting the importance of tiller formation and establishment as a decisive factor influencing malting barley yields. A major interactive effect of genotypes and year on grain size was observed. Regarding weather effects, the global radiation intensity during the post-anthesis phase was the major factor affecting the final grain size in this study. Grain protein content was primarily dependent on the year effect, suggesting that optimal N fertilisation levels must vary between years to ensure the correct protein content required for the needs of the brewing industry is met. Therefore, we recommend further development strategies addressing N fertilisation and soil N mineralisation to optimise the production of spring malting barley.

Intraspecific mixtures may be a means of enhancing the genetic variability of modern crops while retaining the advantages of yield, quality, and stress tolerance of modern cultivars. Two- and three-way barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mixtures of the cultivars Abee, Noble, Tukwa and Virden, were studied at Botha, Lacombe and Olds, Alberta, from 1992 to 1994. Treatments consisted of the four cultivars as monocrops and in 6 two-way and 3 three-way mixtures grown at a seeding rate of 250 seeds m−2. Tukwa as a monocrop had the highest rank and best stability for grain yield of all the treatments. Grain yields of the mixtures usually fell between the yields of the respective monocrops and were often better than the weighted mean yield of the monocrops indicating that many mixtures were more effective at using resources than the monocrops. Of the mixtures, Tukwa:Noble, Tukwa:Abee:Virden and Noble:Virden had the best rankings and stability for grain yield. Test weights, kernel weights, percent thins, lodging, disease incidence and protein content of the mixtures were intermediate to those of the monocrops. Mixtures containing the two-rowed cultivar Abee had higher test weight and protein content than mixtures composed of only six-rowed cultivars. Lodging and disease ratings were lower for the mixtures composed of only six-rowed cultivars than those with Abee. In these intraspecific barley mixtures, Virden was often the most competitive cultivar while Tukwa was the least. Competitive ability was not associated with yield potential, tillering, or row-type. Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., mixtures, yield, quality, stress tolerance
