Exploring environmental determinants of the geographic distribution of broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Broomrape is one of the most critical biotic constraints to sunflower crop production. In the most extended sunflower crop area of the world, distributed across Black sea region, this parasitic weed shows a high occurrence. ...
Effect of location and harvesting date on yield and 1,000-seed weight of different sunflower genotypes
(Romanian Agricultural Research, 2012)
The effect of harvesting date on yield and 1,000-seed weight in sunflower genotypes was studied in India and Serbia. Harvest period began seven days after pollination and was performed on 10 occasions. The genotypes had ...
Seed dormancy of hybrids and parent lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Sunflower is a plant species with a prominent period of seed dormancy. Physiological maturation period can be accelerated under laboratory conditions using methods for breaking seed dormancy such as: previous cooling at ...
Association between seed yield and some morphological characteristics in sunflower / Povezanost između prinosa semena i nekih morfoloških svojstava suncokreta
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Objective of this study was to determine the divergence and association between seed yield and three morphological characteristics that are very important in sunflower breeding (plant height, head diameter and days to ...
Testing sunflower inbred lines for tolerance to Phoma black stem / Iznalaženje izvora tolerantnosti za prouzrokovača crne pegavosti stabla suncokreta
(Institut za pesticide i zaštitu životne sredine, Beograd i Društvo za zaštitu bilja Srbije, Beograd, 2012)
Phoma black stem is caused by a widespread pathogen Phoma macdonaldii Boerema. The disease occurs regularly, causing damage by early defoliation and premature ripening. Complete resistance of sunflower to this disease has ...
Vigor of sunflower and soybean aging seed
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Seed aging and deterioration affect seed vigor and viability. The characteristics of the chemical composition of oil crops seed are related to specific processes occurring in the seed during storage. This study was performed ...
Long-term influence of cultural practices on sunflower yields in commercial production in Serbia
(Paris : International Sunflower Association, 2012)
Sunflower is one of the main crops in Serbia, with average acreage of 200000 ha. Economic difficulties associated with the transition have caused significant reduction in sunflower yields. The aim of this paper was to ...
Screening perennial Helianthus species for powdery mildew
(Paris : International Sunflower Association, 2012)
Powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) has been reported as a potential constraint for sunflower growing in regions with warm climate. Severity of disease varies depending on the sunflower genotype. Aim of this research ...
Feasibility of keeping F, interspecific sunflower hybrids
(Paris : International Sunflower Association, 2012)
Helianthus genus comprises 14 annual and 37 perennial species. Perennial species reproduce vegetatively (rhizomes, tubers) so that it is relatively easy to maintain them in ex situ collections in the field. Hybrid plants ...
Influence of substrate, chemical treatment and length of storage on sunflower seed germination
(Paris : International Sunflower Association, 2012)
For determination of sunflower seed quality several substrates are in use: sand, soil, compost and filter paper where sand is most commonly used. Sand enables good contact of seeds and substrate and decreases possibility ...
