This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency is crucial for maximizing growth and yield in rice production. Tools to determine precise midseason N rates as well as knowledge of the effects of starter fertilizer N applications on rice growth and yield are lacking. Field experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 at the Delta Research and Extension Center to evaluate canopy reflectance as a means for determining yield and N nutrition at midseason and to assess agronomic effects and N recovery efficiency of starter fertilizer N. Measurable in-season parameters were significantly related to grain yield. Grain yield and measured parameters were related to canopy reflectance. The results of this study support the continued research of canopy reflectance for predicting N nutrition indicators and yield. Minimal growth responses were observed when starter N was applied to seedling rice. Nitrogen recovery increased significantly throughout the growing season; however, less than 20% recovery was obtained.

Download or read book Micronutrient Deficiencies in Global Crop Production written by Brian J. Alloway and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deficiency of one or more of the eight plant micronutrients (boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) will adversely affect both the yield and quality of crops. Micronutrient deficiencies in crops occur in many parts of the world, at various scales (from one to millions of hectares), but differences in soil conditions, climate, crop genotypes and management, result in marked variations in their occurrence. The causes, effects and alleviation of micronutrient deficiencies in crops in: Australia, India, China, Turkey, the Near East, Africa, Europe, South America and the United States of America, are covered, and these are representative of most of the different conditions under which crops are grown anywhere in the world. Links between low contents of iodine, iron and zinc (human micronutrients) in staple grains and the incidence of human health problems are discussed, together with the ways in which the micronutrient content of food crops can be increased and their bioavailability to humans improved. Detailed treatment of topics, such as: soil types associated with deficiencies, soil testing and plant analysis, field experiments, innovative treatments, micronutrients in the subsoil, nutrient interactions, effects of changing cropping systems, micronutrient budgets and hidden deficiencies in various chapters provides depth to the broad coverage of the book. This book provides a valuable guide to the requirements of crops for plant micronutrients and the causes, occurrence and treatment of deficiencies. It is essential reading for many agronomy, plant nutrition and agricultural extension professionals.
Download or read book Growth and Productivity of Irrigated Rice oryza Sativa L for a Tropical High Altitude Environment in Rwanda written by Elie Rene Gasore and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yield components, grain yield, biomass and plant N accumulation, and N fertilizer responses of irrigated rice (Oryza sativa, L.) were evaluated for a tropical inland valley environment in the high altitudes in Rwanda. Effects were measured for nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate (0, 60, 90,120,150,180 kg N ha-1), season, growth stage and cultivar of different subspecies and plant types during 2012 dry season (DS) and 2013 wet season (WS) at Cyili Rice Research Farm (1380 m above sea level). Variations in irradiance (17.2+/- 0.32 MJ m-2 day-1 in DS and 9.4 +/- 0.66 MJ m-2 day-1in WS) were linked to seasonal differences in biomass and closely related to N responses, yield components and the grain yields which were greater in the DS (9.0 t ha-1) than in the WS (5.3 t ha-1). Total plant N uptake was in the same range (200 to 250 kg N ha-1) for both seasons at maturity. Grain yields were highly correlated (r2 = 0.89) to yield components and mostly with the number of spikelets per panicle (r2 = 0.70) and spikelets per m2 (r2 = 0.80). In most cases, yield components were equivalent or greater to the potential under irrigated lowlands in the tropics of Asia and the highest farm yields (8 to 10 t ha-1) in the temperate. Rice genotypes of Indica x Japonica subspecies combinations were overall greater in yield, harvest index and in important yield components. Crop growth rate (CGR) over seasons and cultivars was 11g m-2 day-1 at maturity. The average total crop duration of 145 days may be considered as the current optimal for achieving the yield potential obtained in the irrigated lowlands of the tropics in Asia. Responses to N fertilizer addition were generally minimal with most measured attributes maximized when the lowest N rate of only 60 kg N ha-1 was applied. This suggested a large contribution from the native soil N reserves linked to ample amounts of total soil N (2.80 +/- 0.34 g kg soil-1). The Indica x Japonica combinations may represent a cultivar improvement strategy for greater adaptation and grain yield and quality in Rwanda.

Download or read book Evaluation of Water and Nitrogen Management Practices in Southern US Rice Oryza Sativa L Production written by Richard Lee Atwill and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrogen (N) fertility and irrigation costs are the greatest input expenses required for rice production in Mississippi, therefore N management and irrigation should be conducted in efficiently. Field experiments were conducted at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS, and the LSU AgCenter in Crowley, LA, to evaluate water and nitrogen management practices. Nitrogen use efficiency and yield were not different for alternate wetting and drying (AWD) systems compared to a traditional continuous flood. Additionally, experiments were conducted to test for differences comparing two experimental designs, randomized complete block (RCB) and split-plot (SP), for N-rate response trials in Mississippi. Rice grain yield response to N-rate was similar for RCB and SP designs, therefore either experimental design would be appropriate for N-response experiments in rice. Increasing efficiency of water and N management practices further improves environmental and economic benefits from rice production in Mississippi
Download or read book Rice Grain Yield and Nitrogen Uptake and Ammonia Volatilization from Urea as Affected by Urea Amendment and Simulated Rainfall written by Randy James Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of rainfall between urea application and flood establishment on N loss and grain yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) has not been studied. The first research objective was to compare the effects of simulated rainfall amounts and N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) urease inhibitor rate on NH3 volatilization and rice growth. Three field experiments were conducted and NH3 volatilization was measured in two experiments for 11 days after urea application (DAU) in semi-open chambers. Urea or NBPT-treated urea (NBPT-Urea) was subjected to six simulated rainfall amounts (0-25 mm) applied 5 to 15 h after urea application and flooded 7 to 12 DAU. Cumulative NH3 loss from Urea accounted for 8.6% of the applied N with no simulated rainfall and decreased quadratically to 0.6% with 24 mm of simulated rainfall. Cumulative NH 3 loss from NBPT-Urea also decreased quadratically as simulated rainfall amount increased but loss was 0.2-2.0% of the applied-N. Depending on the site, yields of rice fertilized with Urea decreased linearly or nonlinearly as simulated rainfall increased with the greatest yield produced by rice receiving no simulated rainfall. The yields of rice fertilized with NBPT-Urea were not affected by simulated rainfall amount in two trials. In the third trial, the yields of rice fertilized with NBPT-Urea decreased nonlinearly as simulated rainfall amount increased but were 8.9 to 18.1% greater than the yields of Urea-fertilized rice. Rainfall following preflood urea application appears to reduce NH3 loss but increase N loss via denitrification. Total-N loss was reduced when urea was treated with NBPT. Our second research objective was to compare the effects of simulated rainfall time and selected urea-N amendments on rice N uptake and grain yield. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate rice growth as affected by two NBPT rates (0 and 0.89 g NBPT kg -1 urea), two nitrapyrin (NP) rates (0 and 572 g NP ha-1), and three simulated rainfall timings [no simulated rainfall (NOSR), simulated rainfall before N (SRBN), and simulated rainfall after N (SRAN)]. Yield was unaffected by simulated rainfall timing when rice was fertilized with NBPT-treated urea (7904-8264 kg ha-1). When rice was fertilized with untreated urea (no NBPT), grain yields were greater with NOSR than with SRAN or SRBN. Within each simulated rainfall timing, rice yields were 6.9 to 21.3% greater when NBPT-treated urea was applied. Nitrapyrin rate had no effect on grain yield in 2013, but, compared to untreated urea (no NP), NP-treated urea decreased yield by 5.6% in 2014. Application of untreated urea to moist soil or dry soil followed by rainfall are field environments that result in more substantial N loss than urea applied to a dry soil that remains dry until the rice field is flooded. Use of NBPT-treated urea minimized N loss and maximized grain yield in each simulated rainfall scenario examined.

Download or read book Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice written by Shuangjie Huang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food security is a major global issue because of the growing population and decreasing land area. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important staple cereal crop in the world. Application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer has improved crop yield in the world during the past five decades but with considerable negative impacts on the environment. New solutions are therefore urgently needed to simultaneously increase yields while maintaining or preferably decreasing applied N to maximize the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crops. Plant NUE is inherently complex with each step (including N uptake, translocation, assimilation, and remobilization) governed by multiple interacting genetic and environmental factors. Based on the current knowledge, we propose some possible approaches enhancing NUE, by molecular manipulation selecting candidate genes and agricultural integrated management practices for NUE improvement. Developing an integrated research program combining approaches, mainly based on whole-plant physiology, quantitative genetics, forward and reverse genetics, and agronomy approaches to improve NUE, is a major objective in the future.
