Assessing the Potential for Zone-Specific Management of Cereals in Low-Rainfall South-Eastern Australia: Combining On-Farm Results and Simulation Analysis
In the low-rainfall region of south-eastern Australia, distinctive soil types reflecting
the typical landscape of higher elevated dunes and swale zones at the bottom
can be found within one field. Different soil characteristics ...
Integrated Plant Genetic and Balanced Nutrient Management Enhances Crop and Water Productivity of Rainfed Production Systems in Rajasthan, India
Analysis of soils from 421 farmers’ fields in eastern districts of Rajasthan, India, revealed widespread deficiencies of sulfur (S; 43 to 87% fields deficient), boron (B; 25 to 100%), and zinc (Zn; 0 to 94%) in addition ...
Indirect Selection for Grain Yield of Barley in Harsh Mediterranean Environments
Selection for yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in unfavorable Mediterranean environments will be more efficient if plant traits can be identified that are related to yield under stress. The aim of this study was to ...
Monitoring biosafety of pharmaceutical drugs, insecticides, and other bioactive molecules to mitochondria
Mitochondria are large cell organelles in plant and animal cells. They convert chemical energy from food in the cell to usable energy
using oxygen. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation, which takes place inside ...
Effect of integrated agronomic practices on hybrids and pure-line varieties under different environmental conditions in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
The field experiment was conducted at two locations during kharif 2011 and 2012 at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi
Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, Maharashtra and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid ...
Global-level population genomics reveals differential effects of geography and phylogeny on horizontal gene transfer in soil bacteria
Although microorganisms are known to dominate Earth’s biospheres and drive biogeochemical cycling, little is known about the geographic distributions of microbial populations or the environmental factors that pattern those ...
Iron deficiency in lentil: Yield loss and geographic distribution in a germplasm collection
Iron deficiency symptoms are observed on some genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) grown in calcareous soil. A germplasm collection of 3512 accessions originating from 18 countries was characterized for iron ...
Discrimination of maize crop with hybrid polarimetric RISAT1 data
Microwave remote sensing provides an attractive approach to
determine the spatial variability of crop characteristics. Synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) image data provide unique possibility of
acquiring data in all weather ...
Integrated cultural management on the yield and yield traits of pigeonpea hybrids and varieties
Six pigeonpea genotypes of medium duration hybrids (ICPH 2671, ICPH 2740 and ICPH 3762) and varieties (BDN 711, BSMR 736 and Asha) were evaluated applying different integrated agronomic approaches for the various yield and ...
Multi-environment field testing to identify broad, stable resistance to sterility mosaic disease of pigeonpea
Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) caused by Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus and vectored by the eriophyid mite is a serious disease of pigeonpea in almost all pigeonpea-growing areas. Managing the disease with chemicals such ...
