The response of field bean (Vicia faba L.) to irrigation and sowing date
… variations in yield associated with irrigation, sowing date and season. Averaged over two seasons, yields of the fully irrigated autumn and spring sown crops were 5.2 and 3.3 t ha⁻¹ respectively, about 40% greater than yields obtained from the unirrigated crops. Autumn sowings out yielded spring …

The response of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) to planting method and sowing date
… treatments (plant arrangement, plant population, sowing date) were investigated on crops of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Amazon) during 1981/82 and 1982/83 seasons at Lincoln, Canterbury. In addition, the influence of transplanting at different growth stages (cotyledon, 2-leaf, 4-leaf) was …

Investigation of winter wheat sowing date management and genetic architecture of malting quality in winter barley and milling/baking performance in soft red winter wheat
… in maturity were sown in a split-plot design (sowing date=main plot, genotype=subplot) at three different sowing dates (considered to be 'very early' (20-28 days before recommended), 'early (6-11 days before recommended)', or 'recommended') and replicated three times at eight environments …

Discerning Agronomic Best Management Practices for the Bioenergy Crop Camelina: A Focus on Water Requirements, Sowing Date and Method, and Nitrogen Application Rate in the Semiarid Environment of Northern Nevada
… camelina such as water requirements, planting date and methods, and nitrogen application rate in the semiarid environment of Northern Nevada. A two-year study was performed at the University of Nevada, Reno Main Station Field Laboratory, and Reno, Nevada during the spring growing seasons of …

The effect of sowing date, sowing depth and seed size on seedling emergence of wheat: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons.) in the University of Canterbury
… field experiment investigating the effects of sowing time, seed size and time of sowing of Rongotea wheat, variation in time of sowing between early May and late June did not affect the total population established. It is suggested that early May sowing gives higher grain yields due to a …

Seedling emergence and growth of winter barley as affected by sowing date and sowing depth: a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours in the University of Canterbury
… barley, c.v. "Illia", was compared at five sowing dates (22 April, 2, 14 and 30 May and 20 June) and two nominal sowing depths (20 mm and 50 mm) at Lincoln, Canterbury. Seedling emergence rate, total emergence and canopy development (number of leaves on the main stern, number of tillers and …

Plant to plant variation in harvest index in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury New Zealand
… variation in the harvest index in response to sowing date and irrigation was examined. Increased moisture stress increased mean harvest index in autumn from 0.22 to 0.43; however, in the spring sowing there was no significant change in harvest index, which varied from 0.40 to 0.42. Harvest …

Desempenho de genótipos de canola submetidos a diferentes épocas de semeadura em três anos de cultivo
… be maximized through the appropriate choice of sowing time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the best sowing date of two canola genotypes in three consecutive years of growing in a wetland located in Slough Paraiba. The experiment was conducted in Areia - PB, in the years 2008 to …

Maximising the benefits of cover crops through optimising the use of rotations, nitrogen fertiliser and organic manures
… However, this is dependent on species choice and sowing date. Species respond differently to later sowing. When sown late, phacelia produced the highest amount of biomass and accumulated 70 kg/ha of nitrogen which is half the requirement of a spring barley crop. Cover crops were found to have a …

Environmental drivers of bulb production in brassicas
… ‘Barkant’ and ‘Green Globe’ turnips sown on five dates from November 2008 to March 2009. A second field experiment evaluated ‘Green Globe’ turnip sown on four dates from December 2009 to March 2010 under two soil temperature regimes (covered with plastic sheets and uncovered). A second controlled …

Mapping agroecosystem management practices from space and quantifying their impacts on crop productivity
… practices, including cover cropping and planting dates, is very limited. Recent advances in satellite remote sensing provide a promising solution for detecting field-level, long-term, and large-scale agricultural management practices. Thus, this dissertation aimed to map field-level cover cropping …

The influence of cultivar and environment on the relationship between flour protein content and grain yield in wheat
… achieved by varying site, soil fertility and sowing date. In the second experiment, another eight environments were created with four levels of nitrogen (N) fertiliser (0, 100, 200 and 400 kg N ha⁻¹) and two plant densities (125 and 500 plants m⁻²). Each N level was split equally between …

Adaptation of wheat to a tropical environment
… and Lekok (10masl) in 2011. Seeds were sown at 6 sowing times in 2010 and 3 sowing times in 2011. A range of Australian varieties with different maturities were grown and later two Indonesian varieties were included. Plant development was rapid under continuously high temperature environment both …

The growth, yield and water use responses of lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.) to irrigation
… Differences in the magnitude of variates between sowing dates were primarily due to differences in the amount of energy absorbed. The different responses to irrigation in the two sowings were due to the difference in the extent of water stress experienced by the plants. Water stress was severe for …

Contributions to crop improvement and sustainable agriculture in tropical and subtropical Australia
… to the environment with respect to latitude and sowing date. These in turn interacted with agronomy and influenced optimal management. In the process, genotypic relations between rate of development and photoperiod and temperature in the field were described and quantified, as were the relations …
