Efficiency Of Mechanical Harvest For Immature Vegetable Soybean Pods, Tadesse Mebrahtu, Chris Mullins
Virginia Journal of Science
Since soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is low in saturated fat and active in reducing blood cholesterol, it is gaining interest as a healthy snack food. Direct consumption of vegetable soybeans is very popular in the Orient. However, the cultivars used in Asia are not adapted to U.S. production systems. The objectives of this study were to determine the efficiency of mechanical harvest and to identify vegetable soybean cultivars adapted for a mechanical harvest system. To implement the objectives, four vegetable soybean cultivars were planted in a randomized complete block design at Randolph Research Farm, Virginia State University. The cultivars …
Effect Of Wild Oat (Avena Fatua L.) Population And Nitrogen Levels On Some Agronomic Traits Of Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Imtiaz Khan, Gul Hassan, Muhammad Ishfaq Khan, Meher Gul
Effect Of Wild Oat (Avena Fatua L.) Population And Nitrogen Levels On Some Agronomic Traits Of Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Imtiaz Khan, Gul Hassan, Muhammad Ishfaq Khan, Meher Gul
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of wild oat (Avena fatua) densities on wheat (Triticum aestivum) yield, its components and protein content under varying nitrogen regimes, at the Agricultural Research Farm, North West Frontier Province Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan, during winter 2004-5. The experiment comprised 3 nitrogen levels (75, 100, and 125 kg ha^{-1}) assigned to main plots and 5 wild oat densities (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 plants m^{-2}) kept in sub-plots. The data were recorded on some agronomic and physiological parameters of wheat and wild oats. The statistical analyses of the data exhibited non-significant …

Growth, Yield, And Quality Of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas (L.) Lam.) Cultivars In The Southeastern Anatolian And East Mediterranean Regions Of Turkey, Mehmet Emi̇n Çalişkan, Tahsi̇n Söğüt, Erkan Boydak, Eli̇f Ertürk, Hali̇s Arioğlu
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The study was carried out to determine the adaptation potential of sweet potato crops to different regions of Turkey. The study included 9 introduced genotypes of diverse origin and 2 local genotypes that were tested in 4 locations (Diyarbakır and Şanlıurfa representing the southeastern Anatolia region, and Adana and Hatay representing the Mediterranean region) in 2000 and 2001. Haulm and storage root growth of the cultivars were monitored at monthly intervals. Total and graded storage root yield, and some quality parameters were determined at the final harvest. Although haulm and storage growth varied according to location and year, all cultivars …
