Fall seeding of canola did result in earlier maturity (7 to 10 d) and larger seed in all experiments. Spring-seeded canola provided a yield advantage (average 14% over all six experiments), especially in the three experiments carried out in the Black Soil Zone (average yield increase of ...
Depending on your location, you may still have a chance to sneak in some last-minute vegetables. Here in Virginia (zone 7), we’re still tucking in radishes, turnips, spinach, and mustards this week. We’ll soon be planting garlic, shallots, perennial onions, and bulb onions. Farther s...
Indeed fall-seeded canola in this study matured 7 to 10 d earlier and resulted in consis- tently greater seed weight compared to spring-seeded canola. However, these advantages do not make up for lower yields of fall-seeded canola, especially in the Black Soil Zone. The method of seeding ...
The fall armyworm,Spodoptera frugiperda(J.E. Smith) is native to the Americas and a major pest of corn and several other crops of economic importance. The species has characteristics that make it of particular concern as an invasive pest, including broad host range, long-distance migration beha...
and Pentatomidae were also collected from the fields. The higher damage level and the abundance natural enemies were observed in the depression zone 7.Adjaoke, Abissi M.Yotto, G. T.Adandonon, A.JAPS: Journal of Animal & Plant Sciences
This is in agreement with McGill (1976) who showed that NO, - N contents of soil samples taken from 16 sites in Saskatchewan in the fall and again in the following spring were greater in the spring sampling, in all but two instances, by 14 kg N'ha-1. In the Brown Soil zone in ...
“hull scraped”.) Once a grower suspects a field is impacted by nematodes, it is important to collect soil samples for analysis. Samples should be collected directly from the root zone before soil temperatures cool as winter approaches. Results from the sample will identify the ty...
There are some crops that do better when you plant the seeds directly into the garden without transplanting. These are: Arugula Beets Carrots Mustard Radishes Turnips Where Do You Live? Know Your Zone To me, remembering first and last frost dates is confusing and stressful. I think it’s mu...
Central Time:Over in the Central time zone, the equinox is at 7:44 a.m. CDT on September 22. Mountain Time:If you happen to live in a Mountain time zone area, the equinox will arrive at 6:44 a.m. MDT on September 22. Pacific Time:The Pacific time zone can expect the fall equin...
The alpine zone or the high plains—such as the Khorasan landscape in northern Iran—are mostly covered by steppe-like vegetation. The foothills watered by small mountain rivers are covered by montane and sub-alpine vegetation (pasture lands and forests). Below, terraces and river plains are ...
