Interpretation of hybrid x sowing date interaction for oil content and oil yield in sunflower
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Due to the presence of an interaction, it is often difficult to recommend which sunflower hybrids should be planted based on specific sowing dates or production regions. Through this study, the hybrid x sowing date (H x ...
Increase of isoflavones in the aglycone form in soybeans by targeted crossings of cultivated breeding material
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2019)
Isoflavones are a group of phytoestrogens, naturally-occurring substances important for their role in human health. Legumes, particularly soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), are the richest source of isoflavones in human ...
Yield and Grain Quality of Divergent Maize Cultivars under Inorganic N Fertilizer Regimes and Zn Application Depend on Climatic Conditions in Calcareous Soil
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
The variations in temperature and rainfall patterns under climate change are threatening crop production systems, and optimizing fertilization practices is a prerequisite for sustainable cereal production. This two‐year ...
The bicentenary of the research on 'beautiful' vavilovia (Vavilovia formosa), a legume crop wild relative with taxonomic and agronomic potential
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2013)
Vavilovia formosa is a relict, endangered species from the highlands of the Caucasus and the Near East. Described in 1812, it has had an uncertain status and was finally recognized as a separate genus of tribe Fabeae ...
First Report of Peyronellaea lethalis Associated With Ascochyta Blight Complex of Field Pea in Serbia
(Amer Phytopathological Soc, St Paul, 2017)
Ascochyta blight complex is a significant and widespread disease of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) caused by Peyronellaea pinodes, P. pinodella, and Ascochyta pisi. During the 2015 growing season, screening of isolates ...
Histological characteristics of sugar beet leaves potentially linked to drought tolerance
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
Water is becoming more and more limiting factor of sugar beet production and the productivity of the crop can be significantly improved by increased drought tolerance. It is therefore a great challenge to assess the degree ...
Genetic control of agronomic traits in alfalfa (M. sativa ssp sativa L.)
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2011)
The objective of this study was to develop diallel population hybrids by crossing selected germplasm and to determine the gene effects and genetic control of yield and yield components using diallel analysis. A complete ...
Usage of Morphological Mutations for Improvement of a Garden Pea (Pisum sativum): The Experience of Breeding in Russia
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
The improvement of pea as a crop over many decades has been employing the use of mutants. Several hundreds of different mutations are known in pea (Pisum sativum subsp. sativum), some of which are valuable for breeding. ...
First Report of 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' on Carrot in Serbia
(American Phytopathological Society, 2021)
At the beginning of July 2020, 3-month-old carrot plants (Daucus carota L. variety Maestro F1) grown in a commercial field 1.2 ha in size at the Begeč locality (45°14′30.38″ N, 19°36′44.82″ E) in the southern part of the ...
Agricultural parameters and essential oil content composition prediction of aniseed, based on growing year, locality and fertilization type - an artificial neural network approach
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
Predicting yield is essential for producers, stakeholders and international interchange demand. The majority of the divergence in yield and essential oil content is associated with environmental aspects, including weather ...
