The effect of sulfur was compared with that of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the yield and quality of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown under greenhouse conditions. The work, which included 20 treatments, was carried out on the sandy–loam Saint-André and on the silty–clay Kamouraska. Nitrogen gave greatest differences in the yield of grain and straw on both soils. However, low level or lack of sulfur as well as phosphorus and potassium caused a significative decrease in grain yields in relation with the maximum yield on the Saint-André soil while only the lack of phosphorus produced a similar effect on the Kamouraska soil. Grain analysis showed mean values of 1.05% N, 0.41% P, 0.50% K and 0.10% S which were more constant in relation to the different treatments and the two soils than the ratios N:S (~ 10) and S:P (~ 0.25). The results on the accumulation of sulfur in straw and the variation in the efficiency of added fertilizers made it difficult to relate the need of sulfur for barley with the nitrogen and the phosphorus concentrations in the plants.

Fall Application

Application of N fertilizer in the fall as opposed to spring has been a controversial recommendation for cereal crops grown in Western Canada. Also, oilseed crops such as rapeseed may not respond to N in the same way as cereals. To investigate spring and fall application of N on barley and rapeseed, factorial split plot experiments were designed with three N treatments of 45, 90 and 134 kg N ha−1 and four P treatments of 0, 9.4, 18.8 and 28.2 kg P ha−1, as main plots. A control without fertilizer was included and the subplots were spring and fall times of broadcast application of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), cultivar Conquest and rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.) cultivar Arlo were seeded as the test crops over a 5-yr period and a 6-yr period, respectively, at separate sites on Melfort silty clay soil to determine the differences in yield and quality of grain between spring and fall applied N. In some years yield response to N fertilizer was greater when applied in the spring and in other years when applied in the fall, resulting in a significant time of N × year interaction effect on yield. However, on the average, there was no significant difference in yield of barley or rapeseed grain between fall and spring applied N, 3.51 vs. 3.59 and 1.39 vs. 1.41 t ha−1, respectively. Nitrogen and P fertilizer increased yield as much as 2.17 t of barley and 0.76 t of rapeseed ha−1 although the concentration of mineralized ammonium- and nitrate-N in the soil was rated medium according to provincial soil test standards. The difference in yield response of barley (Y, t ha−1) between spring and fall applied N among years was related to the rainfall (X, mm) in May by the equation:[Formula: see text]and for rapeseed:[Formula: see text]Because N was applied relatively late in the fall, the available soil N was medium and the conditions for N loss in these experiments minimal, differences in barley and rapeseed yield response to N fertilizer between spring and fall applied N were small. When P fertilizer was applied at a heavy rate, fall application of N produced a higher yield of rapeseed than spring application in all years.

SUMMARYA study, conducted in the Peace region of Canada, determined the effects of the stand and management treatments of four herbage experiments (1986–88) on the yield and quality of subsequent crops of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) harvested in 1989 and 1990. Quantitative relationships indicated that the crop management treatments most conducive to good yield and quality of herbage were also the most beneficial for subsequent high yield and quality of the barley grain. Unless designs orthogonal to those previously used can be found, covariance adjustment procedures are recommended to minimize the residual effects of previous experiments.

Yield And Quality

Sphagnum peat is an abundant resource in the Quebec boreal zone and can be used to improve water retention in sandy soils of low productivity. Our objective was to select a peat application rate suitable for growing potato (Solanum tuberosum L. 'Superior') and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Chapais') on a ferro-humic podzol. The experiment was conducted in Mistassini, Quebec, from 1994 to 1997. Organic matter content (OMC) of a Parent loamy sand was 2.7–2.9% initially. Peat was applied to small plots in a 2-yr potato and 2-yr barley rotation at rates of 0 (control), 29, 48 and 68 t ha−1 on a dry weight basis. A cupric fertilizer trial (0 vs. 2.2 kg Cu ha−1) was combined with the peat treatments. A yearly potato–barley rotation was also established in a nearby field receiving 25 t peat ha−1. The arable layer of peat-amended soils was stratified into a 5.3- to 14.8-cm thick upper layer (A1) down to the limit of peat incorporation, and an underlying layer (A2), averaging 15 cm in thickness, keeping the original soil properties. The highest tuber yield, but reduced tuber specific gravity, were obtained with the 48 t ha−1 treatment compared with the control and the 29 t ha−1 treatments. Peat rates excceeding 29 t ha−1 reduced yield and quality of the barley crop. The Cu concentration in barley and potato diagnostic tissues decreased as peat rate increased. Copper was needed to counteract the detrimental effects of peat amendments on maturation, yield and quality of barley. At field scale, peat increased the lower limit of soil water content for starting irrigation from 0.12 m3m−3 in the control to 0.15 m3m−3 in the peat-amended soil. Irrigation rate should be augmented at each passage, and frequency of waterings diminished, in peat-amended soils compared with the control, due to increased water storage capacity. Peat improved the productivity of the sandy soil up to 4–5% OMC, but could induce Cu shortage in barley. Key words: Soil water, potato, Solanum tuberosum L., barley, Hordeum vulgare L.

Coriander is an important aromatic plant of India. On steam distillation, the seeds yield a colourless or pale yellow volatile essential oil, which is used for flavouring food products, liqueurs, alcoholic beverages and perfumes. Coriander is also used in the synthesis of vitamin A (Bedoukian, 1967). The Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants introduced several Bulgarian selections of coriander and evolved a superior variety, CIMPO S-33. This variety contains more essential oil (about 1·5%) than the local varieties available in India (0·2–0·3%) (Dimri, Khan & Narayana, 1976). Earlier work on coriander has shown that application of N (Bhupinder Singh et al. 1979) and N, P and K (Vagujfalvi, 1964) increases seed and oil yields of coriander. Information on nutrient uptake by coriander and on the effect of fertilizers on coriander oil quality is not available in India. The present experiment was designed to study the effect of different rates of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium application on seed yield, yield and quality of essential oil and N, P and K uptake by coriander (cv. CIMPO S-33).

In this work the effects of mother plant nutrition and flower position on the plant in relation to different harvest stages on French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Cascaded; seed yield, quality and progeny performance have been studied. In three pot experiments under glass and one in the field, different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and molybdenum were applied to the mother plant and it was found that higher seed yields were obtained with the higher nutrient levels tested, but these high seed yields were not necessarily accompanied by high quality. Seed yield and quality increased with the increase of nitrogen and potassium. The phosphorus effect however, was different, in that the seed yield increased in relation to the levels but the seed quality decreased. Molybdenum was found to be necessary in moderate amounts, especially for the seed quality. The interactions between nitrogen and phosphorus levels (NP) and between nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) were found to be very important for bean seed quality, because their significant effect was similar and constantly present in most of the seed vigour components examined. It seems that the combinations of high nitrogen levels with moderate amounts of phosphorus applied to the mother plant resulted in seed of good quality. In one pot experiment under glass the progeny performance was examined, using seed from the 1st mother plant nutrition experiment and it was found that the mother plant nutrition affected the progeny in it*s early stages. This effect disappeared later and no difference in progeny seed yield was found. In two pot experiments under glass the bean pods were harvested at different stages and the pods from the main axis were separated from the pods on the secondary branches grown mainly from the axils of the primary leaves. It was found that the quality of seed from the secondary branches was lower than the quality of seed from the main axis. However, this difference in seed quality became less with the later harvests. The following tests were used to assess seed quality: the official germination test, seedling evaluation test, cold test, and electrical conductivity test. In addition, the seed size was determined and the seeds were analysed for total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content.

Tests were conducted at Lacombe, AB, from 1989 to 1991 to determine the forage yield and quality of Wapiti triticale (× Triticosecale Rimpani Witt.) grown as a monocrop and in binary mixtures with Cascade oat (Avena sativa L.), Empress barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) or Johnston barley. The Cascade monocrop and mixtures with Wapiti had the highest DM yields (12.37–13.42 t ha−1). Yields of the barley monocrops and mixtures with Wapiti (6.60–9.10 t ha−1 in 1989 and 8.96–11.49 t ha−1 in 1990) were similar to the Wapiti monocrop (8.06 and 8.99 t ha−1). In 1991, yields for the Wapiti monocrop and 25:75 barley:Wapiti mixtures (14.54 and 14.99 t ha−1, respectively) were higher than those for the barley monocrops and 50:50 and 75:25 mixtures (11.98–12.79 t ha−1). The yields of the mixtures in 1989 and 1990 were 108 and 106% higher than expected based on the yield of the components, although in 1991 this enhancement was not observed. Moisture contents at harvest were variable and not always as expected based on the relative maturities of the species. However, mixtures with Wapiti could offer some flexibility in harvest for silage production. Protein contents were found to be highly variable and no trends were established. The Cascade monocrop and mixtures had the highest protein yields in 1990 and 1991. The acid detergent fibre (ADF) contents of the 50:50 and 25:75 Cascade:Wapiti mixtures (26.9 and 28.4 g 100 g−1) were lower than the Cascade monocrop (33.6 g 100 g−1). Lignin contents were found to vary between treatments only in 1989 when the Wapiti monocrop (3.90 g 100 g−1) was intermediate to the Empress (3.30 g 100 g−1) and Cascade (4.83 g 100 g−1). Yield stability and quality would make use of Wapiti mixtures for silage attractive choices for silage production. Key words: Silage, protein, ADF, lignin, cereal mixtures
