Relation of yield per acre of maize to cost per bagParish, E.Farming in South Africa
Maize yield Productivity 8, 12, 16, 20 100 kg-bags per acre Legume yield Productivity 0, 2, 4 100 kg-bags per acre Risk Productivity 0 in 5 years, 1 in 5 years, 2 in 5 years, 3 in 5 years Soil fertility effect Environment Negative, neutral, positive Nutritive value of output Human...
Considering the importance of maize, increasing its yield under adverse environments has been the main objective of maize breeders [30]. Improving drought tolerance in maize is significant in ensuring food security [31]. Classical breeding methods have shown limited progress in improving maize ...
In response to these challenges, it is evident that an increase in crop yield per acre is vital. The most consumed crop nutrient is nitrogen (N) [4], and N fertilization is an important agricultural technology to increase crop production per unit of land, which is important for economic ...
The goal of plant breeding is to combine, in a single variety or hybrid, various desirable traits. For field crops, these traits may include resistance to diseases and insects, resistance to heat and drought, reducing the time to crop maturity, greater yield, and better agronomic quality. With...
The goal of hybrid development is to combine, in a single hybrid, various desirable traits. For field crops, these traits may include resistance to diseases and insects, resistance to heat and drought, reducing the time to crop maturity, greater yield, and better agronomic quality. With mechanic...
Per acre yield was highest in intercropping system both for red beans and maize than monocropping. The combined land equivalent ratios (LER) of intercropping system was greater than one. An LER of 5.49 shows that the intercropped area would produce five times as much as the monocropped. The...
In the present investigation, a 4 to 5 fold increase in the yield of maize by the application of N and P proves that N amp; P fertilization substantially enhanced the per acre yield of maize under agro-climatic conditions of Rawalakot Azad Jammu amp;Kashmir....
(okra) recorded significantly the lowest pest infestation and recorded higher grain yield (6.17 q/ha) than other intercropping systems and control (5.10 q/ha). The overall bioefficacy of commercial biopesticides against the larvae ofS. frugiperdawas in the following order azadirachtin >Metarhizium ...
