To determine the nature and extent of inflation of estimates of heritabilities by parent-offspring regression methods, 40 clones of meadow bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rehm.) and their half-sib progenies were studied in completely randomized block design trials, with six replications in Saskatoon and Melfort, Canada. Clones and progenies were evaluated for dry matter yield, seed yield, plant height, fertility index and harvest index. The results of the analysis showed a consistent inflation of heritability estimates derived from the simple parent-offspring regression, when compared to the regression estimate by variance-covariance analysis. The two methods successfully removed the environmental covariances from the estimates. However, in the simple regression analysis, error covariance was not removed from the numerat or; therefore, heritabilities estimated by this methodology were higher than those estimated by the variance-covariance method. It was concluded that estimates derived from variance-covariance analysis provide less biased estimates of heritability. Key words: Regression analysis, heritability, meadow bromegrass

Meadow bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rehm.) is a recently introduced pasture grass in western Canada. Its leafy production and rapid regrowth have made it a major grass species for pasturing beef animals in this region. As relatively little breeding work has been done on this species, there is little information on its breeding behaviour. The main objective of this study was to estimate total genetic variability, broad-sense heritability, phenotypic and genetic correlations. Forty-four meadow bromegrass clones were evaluated for agronomic characters. Genetic variation for dry matter yield, seed yield, fertility index, harvest index, plant height, plant spread, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber, was significant. Broad-sense heritability estimates exceeded 50% for all characters. Heritability estimates were at least 3.5 times greater than their standard errors. Phenotypic and genetic correlation between all possible characters were measured. There was general agreement in both sign and magnitude between genetic and phenotypic correlations. Correlations between the different characters demonstrated that it is possible to simultaneously improve seed and forage yield. Based on the results, it appears that the development of higher yielding cultivars with higher crude protein, and lower acid and neutral detergent fibers concentration should be possible.

Field trial on chilli (cv. Bogra local) was conducted in Grey Terrace Soil under AEZ-25 (Level Barind Tract) at Spice Research Centre, Bogra during rabi seasons of 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. The objectives were to evaluate the response of chilli to zinc and boron and to find out the optimum dose of zinc and boron for maximizing the yield. Treatments for this study comprised of four levels each of zinc (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 kg/ha) and boron (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N130 P60 K80 S20 Mg10 kg/ha. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design (factorial) with 3 replications. The integrated use of zinc and boron was found superior to their single applications. The interaction effect between zinc and boron was significant in case of yield of dry chilli and weight of ripe chilli/plant. The highest yield (1138 kg/ha) was recorded from Zn3B1 kg/ha, which was closely followed by Zn3B2, Zn4.5B2 and the lowest (703 kg/ha) in control (Zn0B0). The yield benefit over control varied from 4.4 to 61.9 % due to interaction effect. Consecutive three years studies showed almost similar trend of results. However, from regression analysis, the optimum-economic dose of zinc was found to be 3.91 kg/ha whereas it was 1.70 for boron. Hence, a package of (Zn3.91 B1.70 kg/ha) along with the said blanket dose may be recommended for maximizing the yield of chilli in the study area. Bangladesh J. Agril.

Cowpea is no longer a family-oriented crop. Today it is cultivated by medium and large farmers in the North and Northeast, due to their adaptation to edaphoclimatic conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of hydrogel utilization in the retention and availability of water for the development and production of Cowpea beans when subjected to water stress. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with five concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha-1) and two sources of hydrogels (Hydroplan-EB HyC and Polim-Agri). The cowpea cultivar used was BRS Vinager. The following characteristics were evaluated: number of pods per plant; Number of grains per pod; Pod length: one hundred grain mass and grain yield. The data were submitted to analysis of variance, with the application of the test F. Regression analysis was performed with the help of the SISVAR computer system. The use of hydrogel was an alternative to reduce losses resulting from the action of water stress; the concentrations of hydrogels between 15 and 18 kg ha-1 resulted in higher number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, the mass of one hundred grains and yields of grains.

ABSTRACT: STS cultivars tolerate up to four times higher rates of chlorimuron than those recommended for non-tolerant cultivars, without significant damage. However, few studies position the selectivity of nicosulfuron in STS cultivars. The aim of this study was to assess the selectivity of rates of the herbicide nicosulfuron applied in the post-emergence (V4) of RR/STS soybean. The experiments were conducted in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons in Piracicaba, SP. In the 2016/17 season, the experiment was also conducted in Palotina, PR. Treatments consisted of six rates of the herbicide nicosulfuron (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 g a.i. ha-1). The experimental design was a randomized block design with four replications. The symptoms of injury were assessed at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after application, as well as the assessment of variables related to the agronomic performance (plant height, number of pods per plant, yield, and one thousand-grain weight). The data were submitted to regression analysis (p<0.05). The estimated rates reduced yield by 5% in relation to the rate 0 and were between 57.79 and 68.37 g a.i. ha-1. In general, the RR/STS soybean is tolerant to the application of nicosulfuron up to 57.79 g a.i. ha-1 when considering the estimated rates. Therefore, the RR/STS soybean is tolerant to the application of nicosulfuron up to 50 g a.i. ha-1, according to the applied rates.

This study aims to determine the effect of bamboo biochar dose on the growth and yield of peanut crops. This study used a randomized block design with one factor. The tested treatments were dosage of biochar fertilizer with 4 dosage levels and one treatment without biochar dose (control), with the treatment arrangement as follows: without biochar, 4 ton ha-1, 8 ton ha-1, 12 ton ha-1, 16 ton ha-1. This treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 15 plot experiments. The results showed that the biochar dose treatment had significant effect on all observed variables, except the variable of plant height and maximum number of leaves per plant had no significant effect. The highest yield of dry seed oven of seeds per plant was obtained in the dosage of 4 ton ha-1 biochar dose of 21.83 g, an increase of 111.81% compared with no biochar 10.33 g. Based on regression analysis, the optimum dosage of biochar is 7.50 ton ha-1, with dry weight of oven seed per plant maximum 19.03 g.
