The Impact

The aim of the research was to determine the impact of double-cut harvest system on yield, as well as on suitability of Miscanthus × giganteus biomass for ensiling and biogas production. Biomass was harvested at the end of June (harvest I) and at the beginning of October (harvest II, regrowth). A single-cut regime at the end of October was also conducted. Biomass from harvests I and II was ensiled and subjected to anaerobic fermentation. The total dry matter (DM) yield from double-cut harvest system was similar to the DM yield from one-cut harvest, but two harvests per year had a positive effect on chemical composition of the biomass. C/N ratio and lignin content in the biomass from harvest I was lower compared to the single-cut biomass. Double harvest biomass was susceptible to ensiling, however, the biomass from harvest I characterized by low dry matter and water soluble sugars content resulted in poorer quality of the obtained silage (butyric acid was present). There were no significant differences between the methane yields obtained from ensiled biomass from harvests I and II.

Yield And Quality

Swathing is an important canola (Brassica napus L.) harvest operation in western Canada. The determination of the optimum timing for this operation is worth considering, as premature swathing may lead to reduced seed yield and quality. Seed yield and quality of three canola cultivars (44A89, AC Excel and Ebony), as affected by two seeding dates and several harvest times (six or eight swathing times and one direct combined treatment) was investigated on a Black Chernozem silty loam soil at Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada, during 1998, 2000 and 2001. Seed yield, weight, protein content (oil-free meal basis) and oil content generally increased with seed development and swathing time. Early seeding was more conducive to achieving higher seed yield, especially in good growing conditions, and resulted in heavier mature seeds with higher oil content. Seed oil composition also changed during seed development. The proportion of oleic (C18:1) and linolenic (C18:3) acids increased, while that of myristic (C14:0), palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (C16:1), stearic (C18:0), linoleic (C18:2) and ara chidic (C20:0) acids decreased. The levels of the long chain fatty acids eicosenoic (C20:1) and erucic (C22:1) acids were unaffected. However, the overall amount of fatty acids synthesized (mg 100 seeds-1) increased as seeds matured. Swathing was advantageous over direct combining in preventing weather-induced shattering.

Among the micronutrients, zinc deficiency is widespread throughout the world particularly in low land rice fields causing low yields and affecting nutritional quality of the produce. In present investigation, 26 rice cultivars including some locals, aromatics, HYVs and hybrids grown on an Inceptisols with no Zn, basal Zn and soil+foliar applied Zn were evaluated for agro-morphological and quality parameters in a strip plot design having three replications during kharif season for consecutive two years (2009 and 2010). Rice cultivars differed significantly in their native agro-morphological parameters as well as among cultivar categories. Grain and straw yield as well as harvest index of different cultivars showed wide variations both with and without Zn application. On average, grain yields of different rice cultivars increased by 29% and 22% with soil plus foliar and only soil application of Zn, respectively. Regarding yield efficiency, HYV showed highest efficiency followed by hybrid, aromatic and local cultivars, irrespective of Zn fertilization. Applications of Zn, both as basal and as soil+foliar application significantly reduced the Fe content in brown rice irrespective of the cultivar grown.

Pakistan has been constantly deficient in its oil seed production and it is very difficult to meet the edible oil requirement of its ever-increasing population. A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, Northern Pakistan during winter (2013–14). Five sulphur levels (15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 kg·ha-1) and times of application (at seedling, bolting and flowering stages) were used for the canola variety Abasin-95. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated four times on a 5 m × 3.2 m plot size. The results showed that the sulphur-applied plots gave the highest seed yield, biological yield, glucosinolate, erucic acid, oil content, protein content, oleic acid and linoleic acid compared to the control plots. Sulphur applied at the rate of 60 kg·ha-1 and applied at the bolting stage increased seed yield, biological yield, oil content, and protein content.

We studied the fruitfulness of Georgian Oak in Kakheti Region: in the gorge of the river Batsara in Akhmeta municipality at an altitude of 650-700m above the sea level, with oak dominance in a grove represented by a slope of up to 150 slopes of south-western exposure. Akhmeta municipality of Kakheti region was selected for the study of the issue, where in two different ecotopes and forest-type groves, sample areas with a size of 50 X 50 m were taken..In addition, we have divided the model tree drills allocated to the sample areas into two parts, namely, the parts facing the north and south exposures, and several sections of the tree trunk - the lower, middle and upper sections. Separately, we studied the seed yield and the difference between these indicators in terms of both exposure and vertical parts of the exercise - both quantitatively and by weight. We also observed the shape, size and other characteristics of the oak fruits on the sample areas, according to which the shape of the oak is oval, slightly elongated, with an average size of 2.8 cm. Length and 1.1 cm. Width. On average, 655 pieces (65.5%) of the fruit were found to be fit - healthy, and the rest (34.5%) - underdeveloped, damaged and incapable of emergence. These indicators are of great importance in the production of forestry and cultural works. In all sample areas, due to the better quality of insolation, the oak productivity is better in the southern part than in the north. With proper protection and care in the Georgian oak groves of Kakheti, it is possible to get an average of 1 ton of fruit per 1 ha, which is quite enough to achieve the best indicators of its natural renewal and to prevent these difficult problems. As we can see from the Georgian oak cultivations we have studied, in the vicinity of Akhmeta municipality (Batsari River gorge) it is possible to get an average of 1 ton of seed material, which is quite enough to get a reliable adult in terms of protecting the farm and promoting natural renewal.

Experiments were conducted for two consecutive years during 2017-19 to study the effect of organic manures, PGPR and micronutrients on yield and quality of ajwain seed. Farm yard manure (FYM) and vermicompost (VC) were used as organic sources at 50% and 75% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) as basal dose. PGPRs namely Azospirillum lipoferum, Bacillus megaterium and Frateuria aurantia were used for seed priming. Micronutrients namely ZnSO4 and Fe2SO4 were applied thrice as foliar application @ 0.5% first before flowering, second at 50% flowering and third during grain formation. The results revealed that highest number of umbels plant-1, umbellets umbel-1, number of fruits umbellet-1, seed yield plant-1, seed yield hectare-1, straw yield, biological yield, test weight of seeds and essential oil yield were recorded with the application of 50% RDN through VC, which was on par with 50% RDN through FYM, seed priming with Azospirillum and foliar application of zinc with respect to their individual effect. Maximum essential oil content, fixed oil content and thymol content were also observed in case of application of 50% RDN through VC, seed priming with Azospirillum and foliar application of zinc individually. Highest Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of 3.33 was recorded with combined application of 50% of RDN through FYM along with seed priming with Azospirillum and foliar spray of Zn at 0.5%. The integrated use of organic manures, PGPRs and micronutrients could also exert significant influence on yield and quality of Ajwain. It was observed that highest seed yield, yield attributing characters and essential oil yield  and quality parameters were recorded with combined application of 50% of RDN through vermicompost along with seed priming with Azospirillum and foliar application of zinc which was statistically on par with application of 50% of RDN through FYM  along with seed priming with Azospirillum and foliar application of zinc.

ABSTRACT The study investigated agronomical and qualitative features of Indian mustard in a semi-arid region from Iran. Field trials were designed in split plot arrangement based on a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates at the Agricultural Faculty of Takestan, Iran. In the study, plant height (cm), the number of seeds in the siliqua (seed/siliqua), the number of siliquae in the plant (siliqua/plant), seed yield (kg/ha), biological yield (kg/ha), thousand-seed weight (g), harvest index (%), oil content (%) and oil yield (kg/ha) were determined. The all growth and yield parameters of mustard plant were significantly affected by nitrogen fertilization. All the parameters, except for harvest index (HI), were drastically affected by used densities. The highest seed yield and oil yield (2961 and 1159 kg/ha, respectively) were obtained for the crop utilized with 200 kg N/ha in plots with 80 plants/m2. The maximum oil content (43.97%) was recorded in the lowest plant density (80 plants/m2) and nitrogen application level of 50 kg/ha. Results suggest that in semi-arid region of Takestan, researchers must direct their selection treatments to increase oil quality of Indian mustard
