Physiological responses of common bean(Phaseolus vulgaris L.)genotypes to water stress
… grain yield. A late planted crop, is likely to experience water stress. The purpose of the study was to determine the association of the morphophysiological traits with water stress and how they relate to grain yield in common beans. A field experiment involving eight common bean genotypes …

Evaluation of narrow and broad leaflet isolines of soybeans
… a significant effect on seed size, but not on seeds per plant, pods per plant, and seeds per pod. Narrow and broad leaflet isolines showed similar oil and protein contents. The narrow leaflet isolines of the same six pairs exhibited less leaf area per plant, less leaf weight per plant, lower …

Crop manipulation to improve hybrid radish seed yield and quality : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… the ability of secondary stems to produce seeds. Crop manipulation, either by chemical or mechanical means, may be able to increase seed yield by preventing/ reducing lodging and reducing apical dominance. The hypothesis was that crop manipulation would increase the seed yield and quality …

Effect of summer and winter rotations on selected soil properties and productivity of succeeding winter chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
… affects physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil consequently increasing the yields in the long run. Therefore, this study assessed the residual effect of summer and winter crop rotations on selected soil chemical properties and soil biological health indicators, and …

Effect of plant density on soybean seed yield and quality
… loam soil at Lincoln University, Canterbury. Seeds of two cultivars, Northern Conquest and March were hand sown on 1 November 2001 to produce five plant densities, 20, 35, 50, 65, and 80 plants m⁻². Each plant density for both cultivars was replicated four times in a randomised block design. …

The effect of plant population, spatial arrangement and weed competition on growth and yield of dwarf beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
During the 1980-81 season, a field experiment was conducted at Lincoln College to study the effect of plant population and spatial arrangement on growth, green bean yield and yield of dry seed of the standard commercial green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., Cv. 'Gallatin 50'). The crop was grown in …

Explore the utilization and nutrition of mungbean [Vigna radiata] for human consumption to promote in Senegal and Virginia
… tested in triplicate. The objective of this experiment was to determine if mungbean can be used as a dual-purpose crop as a leafy green vegetable without decreasing grain yield in Senegal. It was found that mungbeans could undergo up to two leaf harvest of immature leaves without reducing …

Effect of genotype and phosphorus fertilizer rates on water use and yield of chickpea
… and yield of four chickpea genotypes. A field experiment was undertaken, in winter 2009 and summer 2010, using a factorial arrangement of 3 P fertilizer rates (0, 45 and 90 kg P ha-1) and 4 chickpea genotypes (ICCV92944, ICCV3110, ICCV4306 and ICCV7307) laid in a randomized complete block design …

Developmental and physiological responses of soybean to elevated growing temperatures
Rising temperatures have reduced soybean yields in key production regions and will have a net-negative impact on global yields. Improvements in genetics, technology, and agricultural intensification have increased yields over the past decades, however adverse climate conditions may prevent these …

The costs and benefits of hosting colonial sociable weaver nests for arid zone savanna trees
… has mainly focused on pollination and seed dispersal, but many birds interact closely with plants at the nesting site during breeding or even year round for nesting and roosting. These interactions are not always reciprocally beneficial, but with costs and benefits that change in …

Characterization and potential for the genetic improvement of pigeonpea (cajanus cajan ) landraces
… two consecutive seasons. In each season, the experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design replicated three times. Qualitative traits such as the branching pattern, stem colour, flower colour, pod colour and testa colour were recorded. The quantitative traits that were recorded …

Physiological responses of soybean seeds (Glycine Max L. Merr.) to metal pollutants
Seeds, especially cereals and legumes are a vital component of the human diet and as a result of elevated levels of environmental pollution, seed-bearing crop plants are grown increasingly on contaminated soils. Although several studies have looked at seeds as potential sources of metals that may …
