Production potential and persistence of red clover varieties
(Estonian Grassland Soc-Egs, Tartu, 2005)
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L) is botanically a perennial, although it often behaves as a biennial. The crop generally survives for 2 to 3 seasons in most clover-growing regions of the world, and is considered to lack ...
The control of Epicometis hirta Poda in apple orchards with azadirachtin
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2019)
Epicometis hirta damages flowers and flower buds of stone fruits. The chemical control of this pest is not recommended because it is usually applied in the flowering period, when bees and other pollinators are present and ...
Towards reducing genotype specificity in regeneration protocols after somatic hybridization between cultivated sunflower and wild helianthus species
(Akademiai Kiado Rt, Budapest, 2010)
Successful application of somatic hybridization in sunflower breeding is limited by low regeneration percentage from fusion products. The effect of pre-treatment media composition on shoot regeneration from electrofusion ...
Long-term cropping systems' effects on maize grain yield and yield stability in semiarid conditions
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2017)
Knowledge of specific crop responses to crop rotation as affected by soils, climate and fertilisation is required for the selection of appropriate tillage and crop management strategies for improved crop production. In ...
Variability of dry matter yield and quality of lucerne genotypes depending on geographic origin
(Estonian Grassland Soc-Egs, Tartu, 2005)
Dry matter yield and quality are the two main and increasing goals of lucerne breeding. Genotype variability is almost as important in lucerne selection as the breeding methods used in the process. In 2002, a trial with ...
Classification of confectionary sunflower genotypes based on morphological characters
(Cambridge Univ Press, New York, 2017)
Knowledge of genetic diversity of confectionary sunflower can have a large impact on its use in breeding programmes. However, levels and distribution of genetic variation within the confectionary sunflower gene pool are ...
Long-term winter wheat cropping influence on soil quality and yield stability
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2016)
In the past Century, wheat cropping has not undergone significant changes compared with row crops while the higher input of the agricultural chemistry insufficiently contributed to the yield increase. Along with this, high ...
Development of co-dominant amplified polymorphic sequence markers for resistance of sunflower to downy mildew race 730
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
The inheritance of the reaction of sunflower to downy mildew was investigated using resistant and susceptible near isogenic lines (NILs) and their F-3 families. Resistance to race 730 was evaluated using the whole seedling ...
Staining and fluorescent microscopy methods for pollen viability determination in sunflower and other plant species
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Results shown in this paper imply a successful application of staining method by Alexander (1969) which is simplified in comparison to the original method and adapted for pollen viability estimation in sunflower. rapeseed, ...
Pseudototal contents of nickel and chromium in agricultural soils of northern Vojvodina province, Serbia
(12th International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference & EXPO - Modern Management of Mine P, 2012)
The Vojvodina Province in northern Serbia is known for its intensive field crops production. The Province comprises several political, geographic and of production entities. This paper presents the results of the research ...
