Effects of Site Preparation, Seed Germination, and Harvest Maturity on Wiregrass Restoration Efforts at Fort Stewart, GA
… study was to study the effect of wiregrass seed harvest date on germination success. The second objective of this study was to compare two methods of soil compaction, bulldozer versus cultipacker, as measured by wiregrass establishment and vigor. A significant difference in germination rates was …

Effect of the maturity at harvest of whole-crop barley and oat on dry matter intake, forage selection, and digestibility when fed to beef cattle
… research was to determine the effect of stage of maturity at the time of harvest for barley and oat whole-crop forage on feed intake, ruminal fermentation and digestibility, and the impact forage allocation has on intake and ruminal fermentation. In the first 2 studies, whole-crop barley (Study 1; …

Effect of genotype and phosphorus fertilizer rates on water use and yield of chickpea
… was determined at vegetative, 50% flowering, and harvest maturity (HM) stages and number of pods per plant, seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, grain yield and harvest index (HI) were determined at harvest maturity. Water use (ET) was determined by measuring soil moisture content at week intervals. …

Managing Apple Maturity and Storage to Increase the Quality of Virginia Hard Ciders
… cider. This research examined how both varying harvest maturities and post-harvest storage temperatures and durations in apple cultivars Dabinett, Brown Snout, and York impacted fruit quality as well as the chemistry of the juice and cider. Harvest intervals of two weeks before maturity, at …

Factors influencing seed yield and quality of dwarf French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Canterbury
… desiccated approximately 9 days before one of 3 harvests (800°Cdays, 860 °C days or 920 °C days) or were harvested at the same times, without desiccation. The influences of weathering and mechanical threshing on seed quality were also studied. In 1996/97, HC increased total dry matter (TDM) from …

Relationship of free radical scavenging enzymes to fruit growth, development, ripening, and senescence in 'Red Delicious' apples
… of these enzymes were also monitored at harvest and during cold storage in relation to ripening, senescence, and scald development. At bud swelling stage SOD, POD, and catalase activities were at highest level. Higher activities of these enzymes might be related to the detoxification of …

Effects of maturity and seed size on seed vigor and plant growth in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Stage of maturity at harvest and relative seed size can affect seed vigor. Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to determine the effect of seed maturity on seed vigor, storability, and subsequent plant growth of four cultivars of snap bean (Topcrop, Provider Black, Provider White, and …

Effects of tillage and mulching on selected soil properties, growth and yield of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
… matter at flowering stage (FS), total biomass at harvest maturity stage (HMS), head diameter, head dry weight, seed weight and grain yield were determined. Minimum tillage resulted in significantly higher SOC, final IR and AS than conventional tillage. Conventional tillage outperformed the minimum …

Effect of plant density on soybean seed yield and quality
… This effect became more marked the longer harvest was delayed. Time of harvest also had a significant effect on seed quality, particularly delaying harvest until 14 days after harvest maturity (i.e. 15% seed moisture content), which substantially reduced both germination and vigour. Seed …

Chilling injury and the control thereof in selected Leucadendron cultivars
… the susceptibility of stems with four different harvest maturities (M1-M4) to chilling injury was studied in L. ’Chameleon’. Stems were stored at 0°C, 2°C, 4°C, and 6°C respectively, for 21 days. Data collection included scores for visual quality over a 14-day vase life period, and quantification …

The effect of phosphorus fertilizer and bradyrhizobium innoculation on grain yield and nutrients accumulation in two chickpea (Cicer aritienum L.) genotypes
… Yield and yield components were assessed at harvest maturity. Genotypes affected the accumulation of mineral elements in rhizosphere soil, shoots, grain and yield. Accession 5 performed better in most of nutrients elements compared to accession 1 in both seasons and sites. Application of …

Soybean disease research on green stem disorder, effects of seed treatments on Sclerotinia stem rot, and resistance to Cercospora leaf blight
Soybean plants often exhibit varying delayed maturity symptoms at the end of the growing season. One delayed maturity malady known as green stem disorder (GSD) is the occurrence of non-senescent, fleshy green stems at harvest maturity with normal, fully mature pods and seeds. Data on GSD incidence …

Functional studies of lignin biosynthesis genes and putative flowering gene in Miscanthus x giganteus and studies on indolyl glucosinolate biosynthesis and translocation in Brassica oleracea
… of broccoli seedlings and florets of plants at harvest maturity. Increases in indolyl GS in apical leaves of seedlings and florets were coupled with the up-regulation of indolyl GS biosynthesis genes. The accumulation of indolyl GSs appears to be modulated by MeJA treatment in an organ-specific …

Effect of biofertilizers on phosphorus nutrition and grain yield of des chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in different agro-ecologies
… yield components (pod weight, shoot biomass, and harvest index) were measured at the harvest maturity stage at Thohoyandou, Syferkuil, and Sikhwahlane in 2019, and at Thohoyandou and Syferkuil in 2021. Data were analysed for variance (ANOVA) using the STATISTIX (2017) version 10.0. The Tukey’s …
