Yielding of Asparagus Depending on Harvest Ending DateThe field experiment focused on the determination of yielding of asparagus cv. ‘Thielim’ in relation to harvest duration: traditional (until June 20th), shortened (June 10th) and prolonged (30thJune) harvests. The variation in harvest ending dates did not have a significant influence on the total, marketable and non-marketable yields as well as on the crown weight and the number of storage roots. However, the extension of harvest time until June 30thresulted in an increase in the number of spears in the total and marketable yields, accompanied by a decrease in their diameter. Also prolonging harvest affected negatively the summer stalk size. During harvest until June 10thasparagus plants probably did not use their full yielding potential, because of too short harvest time. It resulted in increased height, weight, light absorption of summer stalks, leaf area index (LAI) and the total of cross-section areas of summer stalks (PPPA) with no significant differences in yield.

The Impact

Abstract Runoff and soil erosion are serious environmental issues in farmland management. In a field experiment in Xingmu, China, data from nine plots with different slopes and crops were collected, and the crops' leaf area index (LAI) used to represent the impact of vegetation on runoff and soil erosion. The results show that slope and crop both have significant effects on runoff and soil erosion, and that the LAI can indicate the effects of different crops.

A method of growth analysis was used to evaluate the yield results in experiments conducted during years 1999–2001 on School co-operative farm in Žabčice. In sequential terms of sampling from two potato varieties with different duration of growing season, the effect of leaf area index (L, LAI), on yield of tubers in soils contaminated by cadmium, arsine and beryllium, was evaluated. From a growers view the phytotoxic influence on development of assimilatory apparatus and yields during the growth of a very-early variety Rosara and a medium-early Korela were evaluated. These varieties were grown under field conditions in soils contaminated by graded levels of cadmium, arsenic and beryllium. The yields of tubers were positively influenced by duration of growing season and increased of leaf area index during three experimental years. On the contrary, graded levels of heavy metals had negative influence on both chosen varieties. The highest phytotoxic influence was recorded of arsine and the lowest of cadmium. Significant influence of arsenic and beryllium on size of leaf area index in the highest applied variants was found. The influence of experimental years on tuber yields was also statistically significant.

SummaryThe response of late-sown mustard (Brassica juncea L.) to four rates of irrigation (ratio of irrigation depth to cumulative pan evaporation, ID:CPE = 0·2, 0·4, 0·6 and 0·8) and nitrogen (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg/ha) was investigated at Haryana Agricultural University, India, in the winter seasons of 1986/87 and 1987/88. Increases in the amounts of water and N fertilizer applied increased leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, light absorption, leaf area index, seed yield and evapotranspiration and decreased canopy temperature. Water-use efficiency was highest for the 0·4 ID:CPE irrigation treatment in both seasons, and for the 60 kg N/ha N treatment in 1986/87 and the 90 kg N/ha treatment in 1987/88. The combination of 0·6 ID:CPE with 60 kg N/ha gave a significantly higher seed yield than lower rates and equalled that from the highest irrigation and N treatment combinations. The amount of water used by the mustard crop decreased with increasing soil depth irrespective of treatment. In the deeper soil layers, the percentage of total moisture use was greater under less irrigated than under more frequently irrigated plots. Leaf area index showed a significant positive linear relationship with evapotranspiration and light absorption and a negative linear relationship with canopy temperature. Seed yield was linearly related to leaf area index and light absorption coefficient.

Cropping Seasons

Investigations were conducted to study the effect of stem portion and number of stakes per stand on crop establishment, growth and yield of cassava variety NR 8082 in Umudike Southeastern Nigeria during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 cropping seasons. In each year, the experiment was laid out as a 3 × 3 factorial, in randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of three stem portions of different physiological ages (top, middle and basal) and three numbers of stakes per stand (1, 2 and 3). The middle and basal stem portions significantly increased percent establishment, plant height and leaf area index at 3 months after planting (MAP) but had no effect on number of storage roots per plant. The best stem portion for storage root yield was, however, the top portion which produced the highest yield on average. Number of stakes per stand did not significantly affect stem girth, number of nodes per plant and leaf area index, but the use of 1 stake per stand increased number of storage roots per plant, root weight and storage oot yield in 2017/2018 cropping season. Number of stakes per stand did not significantly influence storage root yield across the two seasons of evaluation. Interactions between stem portion and number of stakes per stand did not significantly affect storage root yield of NR 8082 high cassava variety in both cropping seasons. Based on the findings, the use of 1 stake per stand is recommended for high root yields of NR 8082 cassava variety under conditions of low soil fertility in Umudike, South East Nigeria. Although the top portion enhanced root yield, farmers could use any of the stem portions, since the middle and basal parts gave satisfactory yields and had better establishment than the former.
