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.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two greenhouse and three field experiment were conducted to study the effects of elevated night temperatures on the yield and growth of a grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) hybrid. The genotype used in these investigations was the 'RS 671' (Redlan x Tx 415), an open-pedigree temperate-adapted grain sorghum. The phenological growth phase during which temperature treatments were imposed was the panicle development (GS-2) period. Experiment I, II (greenhouse) and III (field) were designed to determine the response of grain sorghum to two elevated night temperatures and the growth stage during GS-2 period when the plant is most sensitive to elevated temperatures. Experiment IV and V (field) were conducted with the same objectives as those for Experiment I, II and III and also to determine the effects of artificial preconditioning on the plant's response to elevated night temperatures. Experiments I - Plants were exposed to 26.5 and 32 C night temperatures at 4-day durations commencing from florest differentiation through bloom. The two elevated night temperatures caused significant reduction in grain yield and yield components except seed size that was enhanced (12%) by the 32 C treatment. Approximately 19%, 21%, 24% and 20% reductions in panicle dry weight, grain yield per plant, number of seeds per panicle and grams of grain/GS-3 day/plant, respectively, were caused by the 32 C treatment. The 26,5 C treatment also caused reduction in these variables but to much lesser degrees. Numbers of days to (...).

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.

Download or read book Effect of Planting Geometries and Fertilizer Placement on Nutrient Uptake by Grain Sorghum written by Pramod Pokhrel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important dryland crop in the Texas Panhandle. Productivity of grain sorghum depends on climatic conditions, plant available soil water, and soil fertility. Previous research has shown growing grain sorghum in clumps instead of Equal Spaced Planting (ESP) reduced plant stress, reduced production of tillers, and increased harvest index and grain yield under dryland conditions. The current study was conducted in the greenhouse and field to investigate the effect of fertilizer application on sorghum plants grown in clump and ESP geometries. The objectives of the research were to (a) compare fertilizer (nitrogen and phosphorus) uptake in grain sorghum plants in clumps and ESP geometries (b) observe root growth patterns in clump and ESP plants (c) and determine the fertilizer effect on tiller formation and harvest index. The greenhouse experiment was conducted at West Texas A&M University during 2014 and 2015. Grain sorghum was grown in clump and ESP geometries with two and three fertilizer levels in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Plants were grown in wooden boxes, with a transparent side, covered by a removable wooden board, so that root growth could be observed. All experiments were conducted in a Randomized complete block design (RCBD) and fertilizer was applied in a band beneath clump and ESP plants. The field experiment was conducted at the USDA Conservation and Production Research Laboratory at Bushland, Texas, during 2014 and 2015. Grain sorghum was grown in clump and ESP planting geometries in unfertilized and fertilized (68 kg N ha-1 and 10 kg P ha-1) plots. Planting density in both geometries was 62,000 plants ha-1. In 2015 corn was grown in clump and ESP planting geometries without using fertilizer. N and P concentrations in grain and stover were obtained from laboratory analysis and data are reported as N uptake in aboveground biomass and P uptake in aboveground biomass In the 2014 greenhouse study, ESP plants had significantly higher N uptake in aboveground biomass, stover yield, and tillers per plant. However, harvest index was higher in clumps. The interaction between planting geometry and fertilizer showed a significantly higher N uptake in ESP with high fertilizer level. In 2015, clump plants had significantly higher grain yield, aboveground N uptake, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and phosphorus use efficiency (PUE). Increasing fertilizer level increased P uptake in aboveground biomass. Plants in ESP produced deeper and well developed root systems while clump plants produced roots that developed angularly and then downward. In the 2014 field study, clump plants had lower N and P uptake in aboveground biomass than ESP, but had higher NUE and PUE. Though clump plants had significantly fewer tillers per plant than ESPs, harvest index was not different. In the 2015 field study, planting geometry did not have a significant effect on N and P uptake in aboveground biomass, NUE or PUE. However, the interaction between planting geometry and fertilizer level showed higher N uptake in clump fertilized plants. Clump plants produced fewer tillers per plant. Harvest index was significantly higher in clumps. Fertilized plots had significantly higher N uptake in aboveground biomass but fertilizer had no effect on P uptake. Overall, data suggest N and P uptake in aboveground biomass varies by soil nutrient condition, and level of fertilizer. Increasing fertilizer level increases tiller production in the plants. Application of fertilizer has shown mixed results on N uptake and grain yield in clump and ESP plants. Further investigation is necessary to draw a conclusion on aboveground N and P uptake in plants grown in clump and ESP planting geometries at different fertilizer rates and placement methods.
