Capture and use of solar radiation, water, and nitrogen by sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)
(2009-05)
Sugar beet is spring-sown for sugar production in most sugar beet-growing countries. It is grown as a vegetative crop and it accumulates yield (sugar) from very early in its growth cycle. As long as the sugar beet plants ...
Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
(2006-02-15)
Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ...
The Broom's Barn sugar beet growth model and its adaptation to soils with varied available water content
(2005-09)
The important environmental variables that determine sugar beet growth and yield are: temperature, radiation, rainfall, potential evapotranspiration and soil available water capacity (AWC). It is important to understand ...
Responses of tomato CVs grown to fruit-harvest stage under zinc stress in glasshouse conditions
(2001)
A glasshouse pot experiment, with three tomato cultivars (CVs), Blizzard, Calypso, and Liberto, was carried out to investigate the effects of three levels of Zn (0.01, 0.5, and 30 mg L-1), supplied in nutrient solution, ...
Effects of previous cropping and fungicide timing on the development of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae), seed yield and quality of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(1994-04)
Light leaf spot, caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, was assessed regularly on double-low cultivars of winter oilseed rape during field experiments at Rothamsted in 1990-91 and 1991-92. Previous cropping and fungicide ...
Prediction of Eyespot Severity on Winter Wheat or Winter Barley Inoculated with W-type or R-type Isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides
(1991-06)
In crops of winter wheat (1986-88) or winter barley (1987-88) inoculated with W-type or R-type isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides and sown on different dates (1986) or at different seed rates (1987, 1988) ...
