The effect of four basic liquid fertilizers: Solution 32, 10-34-0-.9, Thio-Sul, and Potash solution; and one commercial liquid fertilizer, Feast 9-18-9, on germination, emergence, and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were evaluated under laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions. Experiments included: 1) preliminary study of basic fertilizer sources to...
An understanding of the effect of environment on
phyllochron (degree-days between two successive leaves) is
necessary to model cereal crop canopy growth. This study
was designed to investigate the relationships of phyllochron
to temperatures and daylengths in winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). A
series...
No-tillage winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in a
wheat-fallow cropping system has consistently produced lower grain
yields than conventionally tilled soils in the semiarid Pacific
Northwest. A 2-year study was conducted in a long-term tillage trial
at Moro, OR to determine factors responsible for differences in wheat
growth and...
