A root-zone soil regime of wheat: physiological and growth responses to furrow irrigation in raised bed planting in northern China
Different irrigation methods in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) result in different water and nutrient use efficiencies and, ultimately, plant growth. A field experiment was conducted during the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 crop cycles to investigate the effects of furrow irrigated raised bed planting and the effects of flood irrigated conventional planting on growth and productivity in winter wheat. In ...

Are you lighting for optimum yields?
How do you achieve the highest yields with your lighting system? As we know, increasing light intensity up to a certain species-specific point, results in a corresponding increase in yield. And when light levels are not optimized for production, or the type of crop you are growing, you are going to have slower flowering, poor root development and plant structure, as well as reduced yields. There ...

Nitrogen influences biomass and nutrient partitioning by perennial, warm-season grasses
Recent attention has focused on the use of perennial, warm-season grasses as renewable energy crops. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of N fertilization on partitioning of biomass and nutrients between above- and belowground plant components by four warm-season grass species in Iowa. In 2006–2007, established stands of big bluestem (Andropogon geradii Vitman), switchgrass ...
