EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeritability of Qualitative Traits in Forage Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)Valentin Kosev, Yordanka NaydenovaIn breeding process of forage pea (Pisum sativum L.) inter variety crosses between two Bulgarian: Pleven 4 (spring form) and Pleven 10 (winter form) and two Russian: Rosacrono (spring form) and Shtambovyi (winter form) varieties are effectuated in field crop experiment during 2011-2013 on the Second experimental field of the IFC, Pleven, Bulgaria. Populations of P1, P2, F2 and F1 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2015 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF CORNWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakPhosphorus (P) generally occurs in soils as the anions H2PO4- or HPO4-2 depending on soil pH. These anions readily react with soil cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Crop recovery of applied phosphate fertilizer can be quite low during the season of application. In addition, the large amounts … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN-SEASON ASSESSMENT OF WHEAT CROP HEALTH USING VEGETATION INDICES BASED ON GROUND MEASURED HYPER SPECTRAL DATAKhalid Ali Al-Gaadi, Virupakshagouda Patil, ElKamil Tola et al.An experiment on a 50 ha center pivot field was conducted to determine the Vegetation Indices (VI’s) that were helpful in assessing the in-season performance of wheat crop treated with graded levels of irrigation water and fertilizers. The irrigation levels were at 100, 90, 80 and 70% evapotranspiration (ETc); however, the fertilizer levels of N: P: K kg-1ha included 300:150:200 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Compaction under Center Pivot Irrigation Systems and its Effect on Crop PerformanceKhalid Ali Al-GaadiA field study on two 12.5 ha plots cultivated with wheat and alfalfa was conducted to determine Soil Compaction (SC), its spatial variability and its effect on crop performance under center pivot irrigation systems. Considering compaction at two tested soil depths, results revealed that the soil of the alfalfa plot exhibited significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05 for 0 to 10 cm … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Ceres-Wheat for Prediction of Wheat Varieties in Irrigation and Terminal Drought StressFarzad Paknejad, Fatemeh Majidi Fakhr, Seied Mehdi MirtaheriProblem statement: Crop growth models have many potential uses for crop managements. Approach: In order to evaluation of CERES-Wheat model on five varieties of winter wheat in Karaj weather condition in Full Irrigation (FI) and Stop Irrigation (SI) after flowering until final growth stage an experiment conducted in shape of split plot in based on randomize complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrictional Impact Modeling of a Cereal ThresherChristian Okechukwu OsuekeProblem statement: There is no point producing cereal threshing models that cannot replicate its performance on the field. The frictional impact that occurs between the crop surface and threshing cylinder had been often neglected by most researchers in cereal threshing. Approach: Study proffers a solution to this issue by developing a model for threshing which in-cooperate friction. This was done … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Channel in Agricultural ApplicationNaseer Sabri, S. A. Aljunid, R. B. Ahmad et al.Problem statement: In this study, the behavior of small scale fading channel due to a moving sink node of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) or moving of surrounding objects is presented. Approach: Specifically, this research introduces the effects of multipath and scattering on the transmitted signal due to mobile sink node within forest or closed field filled of reflectors and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Evaluation of Tractors and Tillage Implements Instrumentation SystemS. A. Al-Suhaibani, A. A. Al-Janobi, Y. N. Al-MajhadiProblem statement: Field machines contribute a major portion of the total cost of crop production. Proper selection and matching of farm machinery is essential in order to reduce the cost of crop production. Performance data for tractors and implements are, therefore, essential for farm machinery operators and manufacturers alike. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,304 accessesView PDFCite
