Abstract More than 11 cultivars of fodder beet are marketed to farmers, but with little refereed data on differences in potential yield. Trials were established in spring 2012 to evaluate the yield, dry matter content of bulbs, and proportion out of the ground of 13 beet cultivars, at four sites in the South Island. There were differences between cultivars for yield, field emergence, dry matter percentage (DM%) of the bulb, and percentage of the bulb out of the ground. The cultivars 'Enermax' (19.37 t dry matter/ha), 'Magnum' (18.98), 'Bangor' (17.83), 'Troya' (17.54) and 'Kyros' (17.39) were more productive than 'Brigadier' (14.00), which was similar to 'Feldherr' (15.15). There were no interactions between cultivar performance and site. These trials prove that the selection of cultivar has a large effect on the yield and profitability of fodder beet crops.

Three autotetraploid maize synthetics were compared with four diploid synthetics of similar adaptation in yield trials and growth analysis experiments at several southern Ontario locations, in order to assess the potential of tetraploid maize as a source of forage. No differences were observed among ploidy levels in productivity of whole-plant dry matter, or in nutritional quality of forage. Tetraploids appeared to be lower in dry matter content at harvest and through much of their period of growth.Key words: Silage corn, forage corn, autotetraploid, (Zea mays L.)

The purpose of research is to identify the most adaptive and productive varieties of potatoes for the steppe zone of Southern Urals. The experience was laid by one-factor circuit in 3-fold repetition. The studies were conducted for middle- and middle-early varieties of potatoes domestic and foreign selection. Determined yield, marketability, starch and dry content in potato tubers. At 4 years of data were allocated potato varieties – Artemis (57.8 t/ha), Aerrow (52.0 t/ha) and Romano (49.5 t/ha). Distinguished highest yield of marketable products varieties: Artemis – 97.9%, Tarasov – 97.7%, and Aerrow Romano – 97.4%. The starch content in tubers was measurable by 10.2% (Ed Scarlett) to 16.0% (Kovalenko Memory), and the dry matter content in tubers ranged from 15.6% (Ed Scarlett) to 23.8% (Memory Kovalenko).

Fodder Beet

A survey of commercial fodder beet crops across Canterbury and Southland was undertaken to determine average yields and to provide some basic information on commercial crops. Commercial yields were approximately 19 t DM/ha but higher yields (34 t DM/ha) were achievable. Dry matter content (DM%) of bulbs was higher for lighter than for heavier bulbs. Variation in DM% between bulbs was greater than the variation between parts (inner and outer fractions) of the bulb suggesting a rapid method of sampling multiple bulbs may lead to increases in accuracy of DM% assessment. A rapid coring method was tested. Keywords: fodder beet, yield, survey, dry matter yield

Climatic Elements

There is currently a great deal of interest in estimating crop productivity as a function of climatic elements by means of different crop weather models. An agrometeorological model is presented based on carbon dioxide assimilation maximum rates for C3 plants, fraction of photosynthetically active radiation, air temperature, photoperiod duration, and crop parameters under tropical climate conditions. Such crop parameters include leaf area and harvest indexes, dry matter content of potato tubers, and crop cycles to estimate potato potential yields. Field data from observed productivity obtained with the cultivar Itararé (IAC-5986), grown under adequate soil water supply conditions at four different regions in the State of São Paulo (Itararé, Piracicaba, Tatuí, and São Manuel), Brazil, were used to test the model. The results revealed an excellent performance of the agrometeorological model in study, with an underestimation of irrigated potato productivity less than 10%.

Abstract. The aim of the work is to separate from hybrid generations (F3-F4) the promising material of high-temperature stress resistance. Scientific novelty. Testing the growth of the germ root at 35, 38 and especially 43 °C is an effective method of differentiating tomato genotypes and identifying their resistance to heat. As a result of our studies of inter-grade and remote hybridization, tomato lines have been obtained, combining heat-resistantness with high productivity and valuable biochemical indicators of fruit quality. Methods. The material for research served 11 promising varieties and lines of tomato. Dedicated genetic sources of heat resistance were included in inter-grade crossings. The selection of genotypes for heat-resistantness in the field was carried out taking into account the complex of morphological and agrochemical features (type and strength of plant growth, bush foliage, phenology, shape and size of the fruit, general productivity of commodity fruits, the mass of the fetus). Results. It has been established that in varieties and lines of tomato, created as a result of inter-grade and interspecies interbreeding, heat-resistant sporophyte varied to large limits depending on the genotype and temperature level. The fruit's product ranged depending on the genotype and the year of cultivation (71.8–98.3 %). All forms turned out to be large-fruited – the weight of the fruit was from 87.8–124.6 g. L132, L204, L112 lines stood out as early forms. The dry matter content of all the genotypes studied is high, as it is above 5.0 %, except for the lines L122, L211 dry matter content of which was 4.74 and 4.58 %, respectively. Vitamin C was highest in L143 (63.32), L141 (62.65), L112 (63.38).

Randomized Complete Block Design

A field experiment was conducted in the (2011/12) season to study the effect plant spacing on yields and its components of four fodder beet cultivars. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in split plots arrangement with three replicates, plant spacing (25X60, 20X60 and 25X50 cm) were assigned to the main plots and fodder beet cultivars (Jamon, Splendids, Starmon and Vermon) were allotted to the sub plots. Spacing had a significant effect on all the quality traits except protein content of shoot. Spacing and varieties exhibited highly significant (p<0.01) differences in all of the studied characteristics. Varieties affected dry matter content of root, and protein content of shoot and root significantly (p<0.05). Dry matter content of shoot, Ash content of shoot and root, and organic content of shoot and root were not significantly affected by varieties. Vermon sown at 25 cm apart and 60 cm between rows significantly (p<0.05) attained the highest quality traits.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i3.11089 International Journal of Environment Vol.3(3) 2014: 286-293

Public awareness of foods that have physiological functions for health is increasing. Consumption of orange fleshed sweetpotato not only meets carbohydrate requirements but also beta-carotene which is good for eye health. The aim of this reserach was to evaluate the yield potential and levels of dry matter content of promising clones of orange fleshed sweetpotato rich in beta-carotene. The study was conducted in Malang, East Java in Dry Season II 2016. Genetic materials used were 20 sweetpotato clones, including Beta-1 and Beta-2 varieties as a check. The treatment design used a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that the clones tested had a potential yield ranging from 20.9 - 35.1 t/ha with an average of 25.2 t/ha. There were three clones  had a higher yield potential than the check varieties Beta-1 and Beta-2. Dry matter content ranged from 17.0 - 31.6% with an average of 25.7%. Fifteen clones had higher levels of dry matter content than check varieties Beta-1 and Beta-2. MSU 14018-06, MSU 14001-20 and MSU 14027-02 clones had high yield potential and dry matter content. All three clones have the opportunity to be released as new superior varieties of orange fleshed sweet potato rich in beta-carotene.

CONVERSAZIONES were held this year on 4 May and 29 June. At thefirst conversazione twenty-four exhibits and a film were shown. Dr J. E. Jackson, Mr A. P. Preston and Mr J. W. Palmer of the East Mailing Research Station, Kent, arranged an exhibit on radiation reception and orchard design. Good orchard design involves maximizing light interception and hence potential yield and minimizing the proportion of the orchard canopy which is severely shaded and thus cannot produce good quality fruits but still adds to management costs. Conventional orchards attain high light interception very slowly. Mature, large hemispherical trees give excess within-tree shade which, as shown also by shading experiments, reduces fruit initiation, retention, size, dry matter content and colour. Computer model and orchard studies of light interception and distribution suggest that triangular section hedgerows or shallow horizontal cropping canopies are preferable. Control of individual tree size is critically important. Currently evolving hedgerow systems depend on dwarfing East Mailing root-stocks and possible future bed systems may be based on the new very dwarfing Mailing 27 stock.

Fattening Pigs

1. An examination has been made of the results of a number of experiments on the feeding of fodder beet to fattening pigs.2. When beet is introduced, the daily energy intake and hence the growth rate are slightly reduced.3. The value of beet as a replacement for meal, neglecting the reduction in growth rate, may be assessed satisfactorily from a knowledge of the dry matter content of the beet and of the starch equivalent of the meal, using the average values given by Woodman (1954).4. Where beet is used to replace meal, the available digestible protein is reduced. It is possible that the addition of protein-rich supplements to the ration will improve the performance of the pigs.5. The effects of beet on carcass quality are not clear. The Danish reports examined indicate slightly lower quality, but the English reports similar or slightly higher quality.
