This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2018 in the subject Agrarian Studies, , language: English, abstract: In the recent past, India has made an impressive progress in achieving self sufficiency in food grains. However, efforts to increase the production of oilseeds have not brought any perceptible change in per capita availability of oil to predominantly vegetarian population of our country. The domestic demand for vegetable oils and fats has also been rising rapidly at an increasing rate due to increase in per capita income and increase standard. The present per capita annual consumption of edible oil is 14.4 kg and in 2030 it will likely to be 19.1 kg. India will continue to depend on imports of edible oils even in the coming decades. The domestic production of edible oils is projected to be about 12 million tonnes by 2020 and 19 million tonnes by 2030. These facts clearly emphasize urgent need to achieve substantial and sustained growth in production of oilseeds.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evaluation of Herbicides for Soybeans on Central Florida Organic Soils The problem of controlling weeds has been a major factor prohibiting large-scale production Of soybeans on the sawgrass peat soils Of Central Florida. With adequate weed control, good yields can be produced on these soils when planted after early sweet corn or other spring vegetable crops. Soybeans are grown during the summer, at aptime when the land is normally fallowed or left to weeds. They show promise Of becoming an important self-paying summer cover crop When used as part of the veg etable rotation. A weed-free crop Of soybeans Offers many advantages as a summer cover. Fallowing, by plowing and harrowing repeatedly throughout this Off-season, controls the weeds, but is expensive and tends to increase subsidence - a serious problem on peat soils. Although a cover crop Of weeds lessens subsidence and conserves soil nutrients remaining from the fertilized truck crops, millions Of wee-d seed are borne to hamper production for years to come. A well-cared-for crop Of soybeans, on the other hand, not only conserves residual fertility but also adds nitrogen to the soil. In addition, a good bean yield will give a cash return much above the cost of production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Effects of Tillage and Crop Rotation on Soybean and Soil Health written by Brandon Witte Nystrom and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation tillage systems and rotations with corn (Zea mays (L.) increases surface residue and make popular choices for erosion control in soybean (Glycine max (L.) production. Tillage and system (rotation) affect levels of residue input which in turn affect the response of the soil and plants. Few studies have looked at the long term (23 years) effects of management practices on soil and soybean physiology. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine the effects of surface residue on soil temperature throughout the growing season, (ii) determine the effect of amount of residue on SOC, and (iii) determine the physiological response of soybean to residue, system and tillage treatments. Rotation and NT increased surface residue and soil organic carbon (SOC) for the top 0-5 cm of soil in both years of data collection. Continuous soybean and tillage increased maximum soil temperatures but did not affect minimum temperatures over the course of the study. The differences in plant height and canopy coverage were limited and not directly related to changes in soil temperatures. Long term decisions in tillage and system have a direct effect on soil response but the physiological response of soybean isn’t fully understood.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure of crop plants to stress or injury, such as soybean injury by PPO-inhibitor herbicide, may stimulate the upregulation of Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) and reduce plant susceptibility to other stressors, such as disease-causing pathogens. Field and laboratory studies were initiated to evaluate the upregulation of SAR, examining the effects of PPO-inhibiting herbicide treatment on Sudden Death Syndrome incidence and severity in soybean and the relationship of disease incidence and severity related to stand count and yield with various population densities. A two-year field study was established in Shawneetown, IL to evaluate grain yield and disease potential of soybean cultivars which are either sensitive or tolerant to protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO)-inhibitor herbicides, with seed either treated with insecticide, thiamethoxam and fungicides, fludioxonil and mefanoxam (Upshot) and biological fungicide Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 (Avonni) (biological fungicide) or non-treated. The seeds were planted at six different seeding rates: 197,684; 247,105; 296,526; 345,947; 395,368; 444,789; with the controls planted at a density of 345,947 seeds ha−1 in a 2 × 2 × 7 factorial study design. Field experiments were planted on April 25, 2016 and May 6, 2017 in 76 cm, 4-row plots measuring 3m by 7m, and herbicide was applied to treated plots over the center 2 rows. Data collection included crop injury at 14, 28 and 56 days after treatment (DAT), stand count at 14 and 28 (DAT), plant height and node count at end-of-season (EOS), and disease incidence and severity ratings beginning at the onset of symptomology. Yield data was collected from the center two treated rows. All plots, except the non-treated controls, received an application of sulfentrazone + cloransulam-methyl (316 g ai ha−1). In 2016 the greatest crop injury, categorized by stunting, at 14 DAT occurred in the PPO-tolerant seed variety without a fungicide and insecticide seed treatment at 4.2% planted at 444,789 seeds/ha. At 28 DAT with means pooled over seed treatment and seed variety, we observed the 197,684 seeds/ha plots having greatest crop injury at 5.25%, and lastly at 56 DAT, the 197,684 and 247,105 seeds/ha plots containing untreated, PPO-sensitive seed were the most injured at 12% crop injury. In 2017, 14 DAT was excluded from the analysis, as there was no injury at the time of rating. At 28 DAT, the PPO-sensitive seed variety, pooled over seed treatment, at 197,684 seeds/ha resulted in greater crop injury at 8.6%, similar to 2016. At 56 DAT, similar results were observed as in 2016, at 12% crop injury in the PPO-sensitive seed variety without a seed treatment planted at 197,684 seeds/ha. There were differences in stand count by seeding rate at 14 and 28 DAT, but no interactive effects between the factors in 2016; seed treatment and seed variety were not significant. However, in 2017, there were differences in stand count by seed variety and seed treatment at 14 and 28 DAT, but again, no interactive effects between factors. Relationships between stand count and seeding rate indicated a threshold at which the environment cannot sustain higher planting densities. Environmental conditions were more favorable for crop growth in 2016 than 2017. Rainfall 10 days following planting was recorded at 67 mm and 290 mm in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Soybean node counts in 2016 were greater in the PPO-tolerant variety were seed was treated with a fungicide and insecticide seed treatment. In 2017, node counts were not influenced by seed treatment or seed variety; however, the greatest number of nodes were in the 444,789 seeds/ha planting population. Disease was more prominent in the high-density plots than in the low-density plots, as would be expected because of the effects of competitive stress on plant susceptibility to pathogens as well as more plants to be infected by the pathogen. Sudden Death Syndrome disease incidence (scale of 0 to 100%) in 2016 ranged from 1.2 to 25.5 across rating dates, while severity (scale of 0 to 9 based on leaf symptomology) ranged from 0.3 to 2.2 across rating dates. In 2017 disease incidence ranged from 0 to 25.0 across all rating dates, and disease severity ranged from 0 to 1.6 across all rating dates. Yield in 2016 ranged from 3,449.8 kg/ha to 4,060.3 kg/ha with the highest yield in the PPO-tolerant variety and the lowest in the -sensitive variety. However, in 2017, yield was lowest in the 197,684 plants/ha treatments at 1,509.1 kg/ha and highest in the 444,789 plants/ha treatments at 4,053.9 kg/ha. Significant varietal and seed treatment differences were also noted in 2017. A growth chamber study consisting of 18 treatments to evaluate an induction of SAR in soybean following exposure to sulfentrazone in PPO-sensitive and -tolerant cultivars. Each treatment was analyzed to quantify pathogen infection. Treatments were also analyzed for the upregulation of SAR genes to evaluate the potential induction of systemic acquired resistance in treated and untreated seed accessions of PPO-sensitive and -tolerant cultivars in response to infections by Fusarium virguliforme, Pythium irregulare, and Rhizoctonia solani following exposure to sulfentrazone. Soil was inoculated with F. virguliforme, P. irregulare and R. solani and planting was done one day after inoculation using AG 4034 and AG 4135, PPO- (sulfentrazone) sensitive and tolerant cultivars, respectively. F. virguliforme DNA levels (351.98 picograms of fungal DNA/200 mg of root tissue) were highest in the PPO-sensitive variety with a seed treatment and an herbicide application. P. irregulare levels were sproradic; regardless of seed treatment, fungal DNA levels were only different in the PPO-sensitive variety with seed treatment and herbicide application at 95.92 picograms of fungal DNA/200 mg of root tissue. All non-inoculated samples produced minute levels of Pythium DNA. R. solani levels were only statistically different in the treatment containing: untreated, PPO-sensitive seed that was non-inoculated. Gene expression levels were greatest in the PPO-tolerant variety. NPR1 expression was greatest in the PPO-tolerant variety with an application of sulfentrazone at 27.26-fold-change over ubiquitin, statistically different from the PPO-tolerant variety without an application of sulfentrazone and the PPO-sensitive variety with an application of sulfentrazone. The expression of the NIMIN1 gene showed no difference between treatments for either PPO-tolerant or -sensitive variety. The PPO-tolerant seed, inoculated with P. irregularrre and treated with sulfentrazone resulted in 0.02-fold change, statistically different from all other treatments except, PPO-sensitive seed without sulfetrazone at 0.33-fold change when EREBP was the gene of interest. The PPO-tolerant variety with an application of sulfentrazone was significantly different from the PPO-sensitive variety with an application of sulfentrazone at 13.8 and 0.69- fold change, respectively in regard to EDS1 being the gene of interest. Looking at PAD4 expression, being the greatest in the treated seed with a herbicide (pooled over variety and inoculum) at 1.66-fold difference from ubiquitin, and statistically different from the remaining treatments. There was no difference between treatments for the gene of interest, SAM22, in either variety. Overall, the field experiment indicated that a seeding rate of 345,947 seeds/ha was optimum with no penalty to yield. By planting a higher population than that yield was not significantly increased. Planting a PPO-tolerant seed variety resulted in the greatest yield overall, but on a disease resistance perspective, it was advantageous to plant a PPO-sensitive variety if SDS is an issue. Lastly, an application of sulfentrazone preemergence to soybeans does result in the upregulation of SAR in soybean, which was confirmed by RT-PCR following the expression level of six SAR genes.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanders, Donald W. The University of Manitoba, March, 2017. The effect of preceding crop on soybean (Glycine max) grain yield, mycorrhizal colonization, and biological nitrogen fixation. Major Professor:Yvonne Lawley. Manitoba has seen a twenty-fold increase in soybean acres seeded since 2000, with over 1.6 million acres seeded in 2016. This change presents unique opportunities and challenges to improve crop rotations in Manitoba. This experiment studied the effect of four crop sequences on soybean yield, mycorrhizal colonization, and biological nitrogen fixation. In the first year of this experiment, spring wheat, canola, corn and soybeans were grown at three sites in Manitoba (Carman, Portage la Prairie, and Kelburn). In the second year, soybeans were grown on these same plots as a test crop. This two-year sequence of crops was done twice at each site, in 2012-13 and 2013-14. To determine mycorrhizal colonization, root samples were collected at the V3 stage and then analyzed microscopically for mycorrhizal infection. Nitrogen fixation was estimated using the natural abundance method using soybeans collected at the R5 and R6 stage and canola as a reference crop. Soybean following soybean had significantly higher grain yield than all other crop sequences at one site year, and significantly lower grain yield than all other crop sequences at another site year. There were no other differences in soybean test crop yield between crop sequences. Crop sequence significantly affected mycorrhizal colonization. Soybean following canola had significantly lower mycorrhizal colonization than soybean following soybean or corn. Soybean following spring wheat also had significantly lower mycorrhizal colonization than soybean following soybean or corn. Soil test phosphorus levels also significantly affected mycorrhizal colonization, with increasing soil phosphorus resulting in decreased mycorrhizal colonization. Crop sequence significantly affected biological nitrogen fixation. Soybean following soybean or corn often had significantly greater biological nitrogen fixation than soybean following spring wheat or canola. Soil test nitrate levels affected biological nitrogen fixation, with increasing soil nitrate resulting in decreased biological nitrogen fixation. Soil test nitrate levels were affected by the carbon to nitrogen ratio of the preceding crop, with a higher carbon to nitrogen ratio associated with decreased soil nitrate. These results indicate that although there is often not a yield penalty associated with specific rotations, crop sequence has a strong impact on mycorrhizal colonization and biological nitrogen fixation. The soil organisms associated with those processes affect soil phosphorus uptake and nitrogen fixation. Producers should consider the importance of crop rotation when seeking to maximize productivity through symbiotic processes with mycorrhizae and nodule forming bacteria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field studies were conducted in 1973 and 1974 to determine the soil persistence of the herbicide M-3785 (containing 0.5 lb a.e. Dowco 290 + 2.0 lb a.e. 214D/gallon). under cropping situations. Spring barley (Hordeum distichon L. 'Hannchen') was grown at Corvallis, Oregon and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Nugaines.') was planted at Pendleton, Oregon. Both the barley and the wheat were treated with M-3785 in the spring of 1973. The M-3785 treatments produced no significant reductions in grain yield from the check in either 1973 or 1974 Crops sensitive to Dowco 290 [peas (Pisum sativum L.), soybeans (Glycine max L. 'Merit'), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)) were planted in the spring of 1974 to areas treated with M-3785 in 1973. The susceptible crops showed no signs of injury symptoms. Bioassays were conducted in growth chambers on soil samples collected 16 weeks, 8 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, and immediately after spraying from the Corvallis field trial and on soil sprayed and stored in the greenhouse. Safflower was used as the bioassay crop. Safflower injury was visually detectable at a concentration of 0.0039 ppmw. Safflower was not injured when grown in soil collected in the field 16 weeks after treatment with M-3785. The greenhouse samples were still causing safflower injury at 8 weeks after treatment; however the 1/16 1/4 lb/A rate was causing much less injury at 8 weeks then at earlier sampling times. Several greenhouse experiments were conducted to compare the sensitivity of several crops to different rates of Dowco 290, M-3785, 214-D and dicamba applied as foliar sprays. Dowco 290 decreased growth more on broadleaf plants than on grasses. It caused growth reductions similar to those of dicamba and 2,4 -I) in several crops, but on some crops there were significant differences between the herbicides. Dowco 290 caused significantly less growth at lower rates of application on peas and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. 'DuPuits'). At theligher rates significantly less growth reduction was observed on sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L. 'SL9100363x2161)x SP6322-0') and watermelons (Citrullus lanatus [Thumb.] Mansf. 'Striped Klondike') when compared with 214-D and dicamba. The M-3785 treatments tended to cause more growth reduction than Dowco 290 or 2,4-D applied alone; however, this difference was usually not significant. M-3785 applied to winter wheat in the greenhouse caused greater growth reductions compared to 214-D applied alone. A field experiment was conducted to study the decreased growth of winter wheat growing under field conditions. No significant differences were found for the 1/16 + 1/4 lb/A rate. M -3785 at 1/8 + 1/2 lb/A caused a highly significant reduction in yield when com pared to Dowco 290 at 1/8 lb/A and 214D at 1/2 lb/A.
Download or read book Herbicide Residue Research in India written by Shobha Sondhia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbicides constitute about 60% of the total pesticides consumed globally. In India, the use of herbicides started initially in tea gardens and picked up in the 1970s, when the high-yielding varieties of rice and wheat were introduced. Presently, 67 herbicides are registered in the country for controlling weeds in crops including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibre and tuber crops, and also in the non-crop situations. These chemicals are becoming increasingly popular because of their efficiency and relatively low cost compared with manual or mechanical weeding operations. The contribution of herbicide to total pesticide use, which was only 10-15% during the first decade of the 21st century, has now increased to about 25% with an annual growth rate of 15-20%, which is much higher than insecticides and fungicides. Though the application of herbicides is minimizing yield loss to a great extent, their residues in the food chain and surface and groundwater create some environmental nuisance particularly to non-target organisms. Research on pesticide residues in India was started during 1970s, when such chemicals were introduced on a greater scale along with high-yielding variety seeds, irrigation and chemical fertilizers for increasing food production. However, the herbicide residue research was not given much emphasis until 1990s. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research initiated a national level programme known as All India Coordinated Research Project on Weed Management through the NRC-Weed Science as the main centre along with some centers of ICAR Institutes and state agricultural universities. Over the last two decades, adequate information was generated on estimation, degradation and mitigation of herbicide residues, which were documented in annual reports, bulletins, monographs and scientific articles. However, there was no consolidated compilation of all the available information providing a critical analysis of herbicide residues. Accordingly, an effort has been made in the publication to compile the available information on herbicide residues in India. This is the first report of its kind which presents the findings of herbicide residues and their interactions in the biotic and abiotic environment. There are 16 chapters contributed by the leading herbicide residue scientists, each describing the present status of herbicide use, crops and cropping systems, monitoring, degradation and mitigation, followed by conclusions and future lines of work. This book will be useful to the weed scientists in general and herbicide residue chemists in particular, besides the policy makers, students and all those concerned with the agricultural production in the country.
Download or read book Pesticide Use in U S Agriculture written by Jorge Fernandez-Cornejo and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pesticide use has changed considerably over the past five decades. Rapid growth characterized the first 20 years, ending in 1981. The total quantity of pesticides applied to the 21 crops analyzed grew from 196 million pounds of pesticide active ingredients in 1960 to 632 million pounds in 1981. Improvements in the types and modes of action of active ingredients applied along with small annual fluctuations resulted in a slight downward trend in pesticide use to 516 million pounds in 2008. These changes were driven by economic factors that determined crop and input prices and were influenced by pest pressures, environmental and weather conditions, crop acreages, agricultural practices (including adoption of genetically engineered crops), access to land-grant extension personnel and crop consultants, the cost-effectiveness of pesticides and other practices in protecting crop yields and quality, technological innovations in pest management systems/practices, and environmental and health regulations. Emerging pest management policy issues include the development of glyphosate-resistant weed populations associated with the large increase in glyphosate use since the late 1990s, the development of Bt-resistant western corn rootworm in some areas, and the arrival of invasive or exotic pest species, such as soybean aphid and soybean rust, which can influence pesticide use patterns and the development of Integrated Pest Management programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In large parts of the developed and developing worlds soil tillage by plough or hoe is the main cause of land degradation leading to stagnating or even declining production levels and increasing production cost. It causes the soil to become more dense and compacted, the organic matter content to be reduced and water runoff and soil erosion to increase. It also leads to droughts becoming more severe and the soil becoming less fertile and less responsive to fertiliser. This book brings together the key notes lectures and other outstanding contributions of the I World Congress on Conservation Agriculture and provides an updated view of the environment and economic advantages of CA and of its implementation in diferent areas of the World.

Book excerpt: Abiotic and biotic stress factors, including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, heavy metals, plant diseases, nematodes, viruses, and diseases, adversely affect growth as well as yield of crop plants worldwide. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) are receiving increasing attention from agronomists and environmentalists as candidates to develop an effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural (e.g., chemical fertilizers and pesticide) and remediation (e.g., chelators-enhanced phytoremediation) methods employed to deal with climate change-induced stresses. Recent studies have shown that plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), rhizobia, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), cyanobacteria have great potentials in the management of various agricultural and environmental problems. This book provides current research of biofertilizers and the role of microorganisms in plant health, with specific emphasis on the mitigating strategies to combat plant stresses.

Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.
