Difference In Wheat Yield Research Articles

Effect of Herbicide Mixtures and Seeding Rate on Soft Red Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Yield

A mixture of 2,4-D with either thiameturon, DPX-L5300, or DPX-R9674 controlled common chickweed in winter wheat better than 2,4-D alone. None of these herbicides affected wheat height, lodging, or yield. Similarly, no significant differences in wheat height or lodging occurred among seeding rates. Wheat sown near South Charleston, OH, at a seeding rate of 67 kg/ha yielded significantly less than that sown at 100 or 134 kg/ha; however, there was no difference in wheat yield among seedling rates at a second location near Columbus, OH.

Time and source of nitrogen application in rice and wheat

SummaryThe results of four field experiments conducted for 2 or 3 years on two soils, loamy sand (Typic Ustipsamments) and silty clay loam (Natric Ustochrept) showed that in rice, application of N in three equal amounts was more efficient than one or two applications, irrespective of source of N and type of soil. The results further showed that application of the first dose of N 7 days after transplanting rice was more beneficial than its application at transplanting. Calcium ammonium nitrate was significantly inferior to urea and/or ammonium sulphate for rice in both soils. There were no significant differences in wheat yield, N concentration or uptake due to time and source of N application.
