The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is gaining popularity as a complementary selection tool, even though it requires an instrument not readily available in the developing world. We evaluated several parameters (originating from the analysis of digital photos using BreedPix software) as potential selection criteria in 23 winter wheat yield trials grown over 4 years at 2 sites. NDVI and digital photos were taken at key development stages from stem elongation to maturity. The correlations between digital photo parameters a and u and grain yield, as well as correlations between NDVI and grain yield within individual trials, varied depending on …


Effect Of Cereal Cyst Nematode Heterodera Avenae (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae) On Yield Of Some Spring Wheat Varieties In Adana Province, Turkey, Mustafa İmren, İbrahi̇m Hali̇l Elekci̇oğlu Jan 2014

Effect Of Cereal Cyst Nematode Heterodera Avenae (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae) On Yield Of Some Spring Wheat Varieties In Adana Province, Turkey, Mustafa İmren, İbrahi̇m Hali̇l Elekci̇oğlu

Cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae is found predominantly in the spring wheat-growing areas in Adana Province in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. The impact of H. avenae on wheat yield has been observed but not quantified. This study was conducted to determine the effect of H. avenae on the yield of 6 wheat varieties in the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 growing seasons in the naturally infested fields of Adana. According to our results, H. avenae significantly suppressed grain yield of the wheat varieties, ranging from 4.3% to 25.7%. Negative or positive linear regressions between the reproduction factor of H. avenae …
