  • Physiological ageing of Russet Burbank seed potatoes: effects on seed tuber quality, plant development, and yield

    Creator:
    Thompson, Delila M.
    Abstract:
    During physiological ageing of seed potatoes, the stored tuber undergoes certain biochemical changes which cause the breaking of dormancy and the initiation of bud growth. The ageing process can be manipulated through storage temperature and duration. Higher temperatures usually accelerate seed tuber ageing. In order to define the process of...

  • Effect of seed protein content on plant growth of barley and wheat

    Creator:
    Lopez, Arturo
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed protein content on plant growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ). The effects of nitrogen application on chemical and morphological characteristics of the seed were also studied. Seeds of 'Casbon' winter barley...

  • Effects of harvest date on sweet corn maturity, sugar content and yield

    Creator:
    Wong, Yueh-Mei
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted in 1976 and 1977 on the effects of harvest dates on maturity, yields and sugar content of four cultivars of sweet corn. The cultivars were 'Golden Cross Bantam', 'Jubilee', 'Rapidpak' and 'Tendertreat'. Moisture content of kernels ranged from 80 to 67 per cent for the six harvest...

  • Evaluation of Rhizobium strains with three Mediterranean forage legumes for biological nitrogen fixation

    Creator:
    Streeter, Donald J.
    Abstract:
    Centuries of continuous grain cropping in northern Africa have reduced N levels in soils to a degree such that agricultural production is now largely dependent upon nitrogen fertilizer. Through the identification of highly effective legume and Rhizobium strain combinations, the production of protein-rich livestock forage and green manure can be...
