This book was released on 1972 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field experiments were conducted at the University of Arizona Experiment Farm at Marana, Arizona, in 1970, to determine the effects of four plant populations on yield and agronomic characteristics of the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivar "Deltapine 16" and the grain sorghum[Sorghum bicolor (Linn.) Moench] hybrid "DeKalb A25". Significant differences in seed cotton yield due to plant populations were found. Boll size, lint percent, lint index, seed index, seed per boll, fiber length (upper half mean), fiber strength, fiber fineness, and plant height were not significantly affected by plant population. The efficiency of mechanical harvesting increased with plant population. No significant differences were found in grain sorghum yield due to the plant populations used in this test. Plant height, heads per plot, and seed index increased with plant populations, but head weight, yield per plants, heads per plant, and seed moisture content decreased. Plant population did not affect trash percentage with the combine used in this experiment.

This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior studies indicate clumped planting can increase grain sorghum yield up to 45% under water deficit conditions by reducing tiller number, increasing radiation use efficiency, and preserving soil water for grain fill. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of planting geometry on sorghum grain yield. The field study was conducted in seven environments with two sorghum hybrids, four populations, and two planting geometries. Crop responses included leaf area index, yield, and components of yield. Delayed planting decreased yield by 39%, and a later maturing hybrid increased yield, relative to an early hybrid, by 11% under water sufficiency. Clumped planting increased the fraction of fertile culms (culms which formed panicles) from 5-14%. It reduced the number of culms m−2 by 12% under water limiting conditions (at one of two locations) but increased culms m−2 16% under water sufficiency. Seeds per panicle and seed weight generally compensated for differences in panicles m−2, which were related to different planting population densities. Although agronomic characteristics of hybrids varying in maturity have been widely studied, little information exists concerning their physiological differences. Therefore, the objective of the greenhouse study was to determine if stomatal resistance, leaf temperature, and leaf chlorophyll content differed between two DeKalb grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] hybrids. They were DKS 36-16 and DKS 44-20, of medium-early and medium maturity, respectively, when grown under field conditions in Kansas. Seeds were planted in a greenhouse. Stomatal resistance and leaf temperature were measured 55 days after planting with a Decagon Devices (Pullman, WA) diffusion porometer, and chlorophyll content was measured 119 days after planting with a Konica Minolta (Osaka, Japan) SPAD chlorophyll meter. The two hybrids did not differ in stomatal resistance, leaf temperature, chlorophyll content, height, and dry weight. Their difference in maturity was not evident under the greenhouse conditions. Future work needs to show if hybrids of different maturities vary in physiological characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume, Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive treatment of the sorghum crop. With the world’s production of sorghum topping over 55 million tons annually, sorghum is very important for as a staple dietary food for much of the world as a rich source of micronutrients and macronutrients, as an ingredient in the processing of many foods, and as a source of fodder. The authors of the volume provide detailed information on sorghum from several disciplines and bring together recent literature under one umbrella. The book covers the various aspects of the sorghum crop, starting from its origin, to its domestication, and going on to biotechnology of the crop. It describes sorghum production, ideotypes, botany, physiology, abiotic and biotic factors affecting crop productivity, methods of cultivation, postharvest management, grain quality analysis for food processing, improvement of sorghum crop, and research advancements in breeding and biotechnology. This valuable resource will be helpful to researchers and scientists working to understand the relation between various disciplines and the implementation of new methods and technology for crop improvement and higher productivity. The multi-pronged approach will help to enable the increase sorghum productivity to meet the world’s growing demands.

Gloria and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three grain sorghum cultivars were grown in the open field and under seven - and towo-year old rubber trees at there levels of nitrogen fertilizer and plant population density, to determine their performance in both seed and atoon crops in terms of grain yeild and other agronomic characters, quality perameters like protein and total starch content of grains and their effects on stem girth and latex yield of rubber. Comparing the six cultural environments with respect to the parameters evaluated, those grown in the open field and under two-year old rubber trees nanmely, MIT open field seed crop. MIT-open field ratoon crop, Kidapawan-under rubber seed crop and Kidapawan-under rubber ratton crop reduced the number of days to blooming, and gave higher grain and total dry matter yields, 100-grain weight and number of grains per panicle. The same treatments gave higher starch but lower protein content in the grains compared to those grown under seven-year old rubber trees namely. MIT-under rubber seed crop and MIT-under rubber ratoon crop. The u=yield component that was consistently associated with grain yield was number of grains per panicle. Nitrogen treatments increased grain yield, total dry matter yield, plant height, leaf area index and number of grains per panicle. Plant population density reduced leaf size and panicle length in both seed and ratoon crops in all environments. The cultivars showed a wide diversity of performance in different culturtal envivornments. There were as inverse relationships (...).

This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis, (CINDAS) *at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity was transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 19 (thesis year 1974) a total of 10,045 theses titles from 20 Canadian and 209 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. The organization of Volume 19 is identical to that of past years. It consists of theses titles arranged by discipline and by university within each discipline.
