Three sulphydryl compounds, viz., 2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptoethylamine and thiourea, were tested for improving dry matter partitioning and grain production of maize in field culture. The chemicals were applied ca. 0.1 % concentration as foliar spray at grain formation stage. Mercaptoethanol, mercaptoethylamine and thiourea increased grain yield ha−1 by 18.1, 29.2 and 34.1 %, respectively compared with water control Significant improvement in harvest index, a measure of dry matter partitioning for grain production, was also noted with the spray chemicals but stover and biological yields ha−1 remained uninfluenced. Foliar spray of 0.1 % urea did not have any effects on the above parameter and thus the effects of thiourea were largely a function of sulphydryl group. It is suggested that sulphydryl compounds have a considerable potential for increasing grain production of maize and perhaps of similar other cereals.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted in two consecutive years to investigate the response of two corn (Zea mays, L.) cultivars, Eperon and Challenger, to timing of N fertilizer in a desert climate. Fertilizer was applied three times (at planting, 6 weeks after sowing (6WAS) and at 9WAS) to give a seasonal total of 180 kg N ha-1 The N treatments were Nooo (control), NLOH (60 kg N ha-1 at planting, none at 6WAS and 120 kg N ha-1 at 9WAS), NLLL (60 kg N ha-1 at sowing, 6WAS and at 9WAS) and NLOH, (60 kgN ha-1 at planting, 120 kg N ha-1 at 6WAS and none at 9WAS). Generally, N ha-1 was associated with the highest grain and dry matter yields. Plants in N treated plots had significantly larger number of leaves and ear leaf N contents than the control at mid-silk. High ear leaf N was associated with high leaf area index and dry matter yield. Based on these results, it would appear that the application of 60 kg N ha-1 at planting, followed by 120 kg N ha at 6WAS (NLHO) is the most suitable for enhancing corn yields in the desert climate.  相似文献

The effects of increased yield and grain number per unit area in barley in response to nitrogen application are well known. However, the influence of applied nitrogen on the rates and durations of developmental phases in barley are less well understood. Our objective was to investigate the effect of applied nitrogen on the duration of pre-anthesis development in barley and the number of spikelets per spike in two barley cultivars, Franklin and Schooner, in two studies. We found no effect of nitrogen on the duration of the pre-anthesis period in Schooner, when applied to pots at a rate of 0 or 55 kg N ha-1, or when applied in the held at 0, 40 or 160 kg N ha-1. However, this duration was extended in Franklin in the first study by an application of 55 kg N ha-1. Both plant biomass and grain yield at maturity were increased between 0 and 55 kg N ha-1, and 0 and 160 kg N ha-1. Meld increase was largely associated with an increase in the number of tillers per plant.  相似文献

Field experiments were conducted during the wet seasons of 1991,1992 and 1993 at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Farm, Bauchi (10 ° 22'N, 09 ° 47'E) to study the response of sunflower ( Helianthus annaus L.) to N rates and plant population under rainfed conditions. Four N rates (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N ha -1) and four plant populations (40000,80000,120000 and 160000 plants ha-1) were factorially combined in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Leaf area index, shoot dry weight and seed yield (kg ha-1) increased significantly with increasing N rates from 0 to 100 kg N ha-1. The growth and yield parameters per plant decreased significantly with increasing plant populations from 40000 to 160000 plants ha-1, but the seed yield (kg ha-1) obtained at 80000 plants ha-1 was significantly higher than all the other plant populations. The interactions of N x plant population confounded the main effect of each factor on the growth and yield of sunflower. The seed yield (3425 kg ha-1) obtained from the use of 100 kg N ha-1 at 80000 plants ha-1 was significantly higher than those obtained from all other combinations of N x population and out-yielded the main effects of 100 kg N ha-1 and 80000 plants ha-1 by 18 % and 25 %, respectively. The use of 100 kg N ha-1 at 80000 plants ha-1 is therefore recommended for maximum yield of sunflower in Bauchi.  相似文献

More detailed information on the causes of yield variability among wheat cultivars is needed to further increase wheat yield. Field studies were conducted in Northern Greece over the two cropping seasons of 1985—1986 and 1986—1987 to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and application timing of the various component traits that determine grain yield, grain nitrogen yield and nitrogen utilization efficiency of two bread ( Triticum aestivum L.) and two durum ( Triticum durum Desf.) wheat cultivars, using yield and yield component analysis. Nitrogen at a rate of 150 kg ha-1 was applied before planting or 100 N kg ha-1 before planting and then 50 N kg ha-1 top dressed at early boot stage. Nitrogen and cultivars affected all traits examined, while split nitrogen application affected only some of the traits. Grain yields in the most cases were correlated with number of grains per unit area and grain weight and grain nitrogen yields in all cases with grain number per unit area. The contribution of the number of grains per spike to total variation in grain yield among cultivars was almost consistent (37 to 55 %), while the contribution of grain weight was more significant (up to 55 %) in high yields (>6.500kg ha-1) and number of spikes per unit area (>500). The number of grains per spike contributed from 60 to 83 % to the total variation in grain nitrogen per spike. Increased grain nitrogen concentration resulted in a reduction of its contribution in grain nitrogen yield variation. Nitrogen utilization efficiency was higher during grain filling than during vegetative biomass accumulation. The contribution of nitrogen harvest index to the variation of utilization efficiency for grain yield was higher in plants receiving nitrogen application.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N) fertilization with foliar urea and fungicide treatment at flag leaf emergence (GS 47) are common strategies to improve both grain yield and quality in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). Mixing of urea and a fungicide, together, would save time in farm operations. In some cases, the effect of foliar sprayings of urea either alone or in combination with a fungicide may, however, give unexpected low response to grain yield and quality when compared to separate application of foliar urea and fungicide. This study was designated to provide more detailed information about the effects of late-season spraying of urea (15 kg N ha−1 as an aqueous solution of 110 g l−1) alone or mixed with fungicide (propiconazole, 125 g ha−1) on the grain yield and grain protein content of spring wheat. To avoid foliar injury or phytotoxic effect of foliar spray of urea, mixing of urea with propiconazole in warm growing conditions should be avoided. In turn, during cool and rainy growing season, a mixture of these two chemicals is recommended in order to improve rapid absorbtion of both propiconazole and foliar urea. However, the genotypic differences were recorded in response to propiconazole and urea sprayings. The positive effects on cultivars of these chemicals were attributed to high leaf photosynthesis rate after propiconazole and foliar urea treatment and high leaf urease enzyme activity after foliar urea application.  相似文献

A held experiment was conducted during three winter seasons on West Bengal laterite soil to study the effect of irrigation and paddy straw mulch on water consumption. Water use efficiency and yield of wheat are reported. Both irrigation and mulch increased wheat yield significantly; there was also significant interaction between irrigation and straw mulch application: three irrigations combined with mulch resulted in 21.6 q ha-1 wheat grain yield compared with 17.5 q ha-1 for three irrigations without mulch. Mulch consistently increased irrigation response. Both irrigation and mulch increased water consumption and water use efficiency of the wheat crop. To compare the two irrigation treatments, irrigation at crown root initiation followed up by at flowering stage gave higher values of water use efficiency as well as higher grain yield than that of irrigation applied at panicle stage followed by at crown root initiation.  相似文献

Field trial studies were carried out to find out whether performance of soybean could be improved as a result of pre-sowing soaking treatment of seeds. Comparatively pre-sowing seed treatment with KNO3, NaNO3, NaCl, thiourea and di-Ammonium phosphate (DAP) resulted in better development of the root and shoot system than the control. As a result of pre sowing seed treatment, there was an increase in dry matter production by 44, 27 and 32 % over the control in KNO3, NaNO3 and DAP treatments respectively. Similarly increase in seed yield was noticed in NaNO3 (45 %), KNO3 (40 %) and DAP (50 %) pretreated plants. The number of existing nodules was reduced both in the control and treated plants due to pH (8.4) of the soil.
To investigate the cumulative effects of foliar spray on plants raised from pre-sowing seed treatment, salt solutions (NaCl, KNO3, NaNO3, thiourea, DAP) at optimal level were sprayed separately three times at three different stages of development. As a result of foliar spray moderate increase in growth in KNO3 (20 %), thiourea (29 %) and DAP (25 %) treatment was observed over the control. Seed yield increased significantly (56–70 %) in all treatments except NaCl spray, due to increase in the number of pods (41–63 %) per plant. Foliar spray of nutrients increased protein yield without affecting the oil content. It is suggested that a considerable fertilizer economy may be effected by coupling pre-sowing seed treatment with foliar fertilization.  相似文献

In a field trial conducted during 1992–93 and 1993–94, the effect of basal (B) nitrogen (N) (45 and 60 kg N ha−1) and foliar application (F) of water (W) or 10 kg N ha−1 and 400 or 600 ppm ethrel (E) (2-Chloro ethyl phosphonic acid) at 70 days after sowing was studied on leaf area index and dry mass at 90 days and pod number per plant, seeds per pod, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, oil content and oil vield at harvest of mustard ( Brassica juncea L. Czern & Coss.) cv. T-59. Recommended basal (B) application of 90 kg N ha (BN90) was used as control. On the basis of 2 year data it was found that basal application of 60 kg N and foliar spray of 10 kg N ha −1 and 600 ppm ethrel gave higher values for growth and yield characteristics and enhanced seed yield and oil yield by 12.5 and 14.8%, respectively over control BN90.  相似文献

Knowledge of optimum fertilization for com production is required to increase crop yields while minimizing fertilizer costs. Field experiments were carried out from 1988 to 1993 to study the effects of fertilizer N rates on yield and N concentration of corn ( Zea mays L.) grain on a clay soil in Quebec. Grain yields and grain N concentrations generally followed a exponential relationship with increasing N fertilizer rates. The critical grain N concentration, defined as that associated with the highest grain yield, occurred at 285 kg N ha-1 for all years except 1969 when it occurred at 170 kg N ha-1. The critical grain N concentrations and grain yields over the years were found to be linearly related. The relationship between the critical grain N concentration and grain yield could serve as a diagnostic tool for N applications.  相似文献

Gram sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is grown on marginal land and johnsongrass [Sorghum haiepense (L.) Pers] is the most common and hard to control weed in this crop. The agronomic performance of gram sorghum at different nitrogen (N) and johnsongrass infestation levels in the field has not been adequately investigated. Therefore, research was conducted on a Decatur silty clay loam soil (Rhodic Paleudult) to determine the influence of N rates (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1) and johnsongrass infestation levels (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per 5 m crop row) on the growth and yield of grain sorghum (cv. GK522G) and johnsongrass. Increase in N rates increased seed weight, seed yield and percent protein in grain sorghum as well as dry matter and percent protein of johnsongrass. The increase in johnsongrass infestation (from 0 to 8 plants per 5 m crop row) significantly decreased the performance of grain sorghum and johnsongrass at all the N rates. The results suggest that 40 kg N ha-1 with up to 2 johnsongrass plants per 5 m crop row or 80 kg N ha-1 with up to 4 johnsongrass plants per 5 m crop row produced grain sorghum yields equivalent to absence of johnsongrass in the crop.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to assess improvements in performance of maize hybrids during a 20-year period. Data on FAO 100 and 200 hybrids, released by the former Yugoslav Committee for Releasing Varieties, were utilized. For FAO 100 hybrids group, yield increased 0.0015 Mg ha-1 year-1 but was not significant. Breeding resulted in a significant decrease in days to silking. In the FAO 200 group, yield increased on the average 0.046 Mg ha˜ year-. The genetic gain was not significant. A performance index, based on yield and several other traits, increased significantly during the period for both groups of hybrids, but the increase due to breeding was significant for the FAO 200 hybrids only.  相似文献

The effects of three okra planting densities (28 000; 56 000 and 111 000 plants ha1) intercropped within or between maize rows were investigated in two field trials during the 1990 and 1991 wet seasons at Nsukka. The plant height and the leaf area index (LAI) increased as the planting density increased in sole or intercropped okra while the number of branches per plant decreased with increasing okra planting density. The height of maize plants also increased as okra planting density increased but the LAI decreased. Intercropping reduced the yield and yield components (number and weight of pods per plant) of okra and maize (number of cobs, cob length and 100-grain weight). Increasing okra planting density reduced the sole and the intercropped okra and also the maize intercrop yield by reducing the number of pods and grains as well as the pod and grain size, respectively. Assessment of the productivity ofthe mixtures showed that the highest yield advantage (35%) of growing okra and maize together was obtained at 28000 okra plants ha1 while the highest monetary return was realized at the highest okra planting density of 111000 plants ha1 intercropped between maize rows. The patterns of row arrangement did not have effect on the growth, yield and yield components of the mixtures.  相似文献

Sorghum hybrid CSH-6 was grown in fields in Delhi, India between July–November 1986 in order to study the effect of nitrogen nutrition and irrigation on dry matter accumulation, grain yield and water use. The treatments included 40 Kg Nha−1 combined with two irrigations (30 DAS, 60 DAS), one irrigation (60 DAS) and no irrigation respectively. Rainfall during the crop season was only 17 cm. The unirrigated plants were considerably water stressed and exhibited very low leaf water potential, less leaf area, delayed anthesis, longer crop duration but shorter grain filling duration. The ears showed sterility and yield was only 0.41 t ha−1 without nitrogen fertilization. Addition of nitrogen fertilizer had no significant effect on yield in unirrigated plants. A single irrigation 60 DAS increased yield due to increase in both grain number and grain weight per ear in fertilized and unfertilized crop respectively. Two irrigations in the unfertilized crop increased the yield to 2.2 t ha−1 while similar treatment in the fertilized crop did not increase the yield significantly. Irrigation increased the WUE for grain yield. The results indicate that nitrogen stress and water stress reduced grain yield primarily through grain number rather than grain weight. Irrigation relieved both water stress and nutrient stress. Nitrogen nutrition was not beneficial under severe water stress conditions but was considerably helpful under mild stress. Biomass, grain yield and harvest index show significant correlation with preanthesis water use.  相似文献

Determination of optimal N-fertilization rates, NOR , for crop production that minimize risk of environmental degradation require accurate application of a response model. Several models are available to describe crop yield response to N fertilization. The objective of this work was to compare the relative accuracy of a quadratic, f(N Q), a modified Mitscherlich, and tanh( N ) models on 48 data sets. Data were collected from a Tara silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, frigid Pachic Udic Haploboroll) over a 6-year period using two maize ( Zea mays L.) hybrids and four tillage treatments, mouldboard plough, chisel plough, ridge tillage and no-tillage. In about one-third of the cases, all models performed about equally well. Generally, the tanh( N ) and modified Mitscherlich models gave better fit between N rate and grain yield data. The NOR, ranged from about 140 to 170 kg ha−1 for the modified Mitscherlich model, 136 to 184 kg ha−1 for the tanh( N) function, and 124 to 173 kg ha−1 using the f(N Q) model. Estimated grain yields at these rates ranged between 6.58 ± 1.30 to 7.59 ± 1.69 Mg ha−1 for the 90-day Minnesota maturity rated (MR) hybrid and between 7.52 ± 2.40 to 8.72 ± 1.70 Mg ha−1 for the 95-day MR hybrid.  相似文献

In a field study it was observed that sulphur fertilization of chickpea at 100 kg S ha−1 imparted cold tolerance under low temperature stress conditions. Further, foliar sprays of DMSO, H2SO4, KCl and H3BO3 proved effective in alleviating cold injury. Glucose spray also showed efficacy in this regard. The effects of sulphur fertilization and foliar applied DMSO and H2SO4 were largely associated with improved sulphur nutrition of plants, while improvement in K content under KCl treatment and B content under H3BO3 treatment was responsible for cold tolerance effects. Improvement in overall soluble carbohydrate and protein status of plants was held responsible for glucose effects possibly associated with osmoregulation.  相似文献

The influence of undersown green manure crops for fallows – set-aside land – in view of vegetation-development and the dynamic of nitrate
In view of the establishment of rotational fallows - set-aside land - as well as the bridging of the vegetation-free winter period the suitability of different undersown grasses and legumes m winter cereals was investigated in field trials. Festuca rubra developed well in winter barley and winter wheat. The success of the cultivation of Lolium perenne, Trifolium pratense and Trifolium repens in winter cereals is uncertain because of the risk of light and water deficiences. Dactylis glomerata caused an negative influence on the yield of the cover crop. During the fallow period only low levels of nitrate could be found in the soil. Under fallow tilled repeatedly complete fallow- a nitrate accumulation could be observed during the fallow period. After ploughing up the fallow vegetation, nitrate concentrations - depth 0–150 cm – increased to 60 kg NO3-N · ha-1 after the natural fallow without seeding, between 60 and 130 kg NO3-N · ha-1 after Trifolium and between 160 and 210 kg NO3-N · ha-1 after complete fallow. Lowest nitrate levels were observed from the grass-sites. Undersown Festuca rubra seems to be the best choice in order to compete with weeds, to form a dense sod and to prevent nitrate leaching. In general a seed rate of 8 kg · ha-1 can be recommended.  相似文献

Two field experiments were conducted during] 994-95 to study the effect of spray of 10−5 M GA3 at 40 days after sowing on mustard ( Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.) cv. Varuna grown with basally applied 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha−1 (Expt. 1) and 0,15, 30 and 45 kg P ha−1 (Expt. 2) on pod number per plant, seeds per pod, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index and fatty acid composition of oil. No significant difference between water and GA3 spray was found when basally applied nitrogen was 0 or 40 kg N ha−1. N80 proved to be the best for yield characteristics. In another experiment on phosphorus, GA3 and 30 kg P ha−1 individually enhanced the yield, but interaction of GA3 and P remained non-significant. The fatty acid composition of oil in both experiments was significantly affected only by nitrogen and phosphorus treatments for oleic acid and erucic acid. It was found that return in the form of yield was more for every kg applied fertilizer under GA, spray treatment. The response was more for N fertilizer in comparison to P. GA3 at a low level of fertilization significantly increased the return from fertilization.  相似文献

Drought stress encumbers the rice growth predominantly by oxidative damage to biological membranes and disturbed tissue water status. In this study, the role of salicylic acid (SA) to induce drought tolerance in aromatic fine grain rice cultivar Basmati 2000 was evaluated. SA was applied as seed and foliar treatments. For seed treatment, rice seeds were soaked in 50, 100 and 150 mg l−1 aerated solution of SA for 48 h and then dried back. Treated and untreated seeds were sown in plastic pots in a phytotron. At four leaf stage, one set of plants was subjected to drought stress, while the other remained well watered. Drought was maintained at 50 % of field capacity by watering every alternate day. For exogenous application, SA was applied 50, 100 and 150 mg l−1 at five leaf stage. In the control, SA was neither applied exogenously nor as seed treatment. Drought stress severely affected the seedling fresh and dry weight, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, plant water relations and starch metabolism; however, SA application improved the performance of rice under both normal and stress conditions. Drought tolerance in rice was well associated with the accumulation of compatible solutes, maintenance of tissue water potential and enhanced potency of antioxidant system, which improved the integrity of cellular membranes and facilitated the rice plant to sustain photosynthesis and general metabolism. Foliar treatments were more effective than the seed treatments. Foliar application with 100 mg l−1 (FA 100) was the best treatment to induce the drought tolerance and improve the performance under normal and stress conditions compared with the control or other treatments used in this study.  相似文献

A field experiment was carried out at four location-years in Southwestern Quebec, Canada in 1990 and 1991, to evaluate the effects of nitrogen (N) application on protein, lipid, non-structural carbohydrate (NSC), and remaining grain components concentrations of maize ( Zea mays L.) grain during kernel development. Three N fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, urea, and calcium ammonium nitrate) were compared for plants receiving pre-plant incorporated N fertilizer at 180 kg ha-1 as well as a control which received no N fertilizer. The results indicated that between 20 and 30 days after pollination (DAP) protein concentration of maize kernels declined sharply, thereafter only slightly, irrespective of the treatment. At most stages and in all four location-years protein concentration was raised significantly by N-application without clear difference between N-fertilizer sources. At 20 DAP seeds of N-fertilized plants contain 25.5 mg g-1 more than those without N-application (control); later on, this difference was lower (12.8 mg g-1) but remained constant over time if averaged over N-sources and location-years. At most growth stages and in most location-years the lipid concentration did not respond to N fertilizer application. Lipid concentration followed an "N" shaped curve over the course of grain development. Non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentration increased significantly during grain filling and showed little effect due to N application. However, at most growth stages in the four location-years, the concentration of remaining grain components tended to decline with N application. A significant negative correlation existed between the changes in protein concentration and NSC concentration during kernel development.  相似文献
