Monoculture velvetleaf had greater dry weight, growth rate, leaf area index, and height than velvetleaf grown in association with conventional or no-tillage corn. Velvetleaf planted 5 weeks after corn had significantly lower dry weight, leaf area index, and height compared to velvedeaf planted at the same time as corn. The combination of interference from corn and delayed planting caused a significant reduction in velvetleaf population at the end of the season, delayed the date of 50% velvetleaf flowering, increased the number of days required for 50% flowering, and reduced the number of capsules per plant. Velvetleaf dry weight/hectare and leaf area index increased as plant population increased. Velvetleaf dry weight, leaf area, capsules, and seed/plant decreased as plant density increased. There were no differences in vegetative or reproductive growth between velvetleaf grown in conventional or no-tillage areas.

Embryo Maturity

Examination of grain development in two white-grained (non-dormant) and two red-grained (varying dormancy) wheat genotypes has clarified concepts of maturity with respect to grain dehydration, harvest ripeness, embryo maturity, base α-amylase activity and dry weight growth. Each maturity trait had a different pattern of development. The net level of grain maturity at harvest ripeness depended on the relative progress of the maturation traits at the time at which harvest ripeness was defined. Harvest ripeness is defined as the first attainment of 12½% moisture during primary dehydration of the grain, this being closely related to fitness for harvest. The effects of adopting other definitions of harvest ripeness (at 17½% and 20% grain moisture) are discussed. Significant differences amongst genotypes in development patterns, temporal placement, and harvest ripeness level were found in each maturity trait, and the differences were not parallel across traits. Differences in maturation did not coincide with differences in putative dormancy or grain colour. Results indicated that grain maturation was a multi-faceted process, with flexible synchronizations amongst maturation traits at any point in time, such as at harvest ripeness. Germination tests or a-amylase assays on progeny grain samples, at some time after harvest ripeness, measure differences in maturity as well as putative differences in dormancy. Interpretation only in terms of dormancy could be misleading. Adjustment for immaturity is discussed. ____________________ *Part I, Aust. J. Agric. Res., 28: 583 (1977).

Abstract Various soil types (loamy and sandy soils) were seeded with Kentucky coffeetree, treated with preemergent herbicides and grown in the greenhouse to determine their effect on seedling survival and growth. Tested were Lasso (alachlor) at 2.2 (2.0), Tenoran 50W (chloroxuron) at 2.2 (2.0), Dacthal (DCPA) at 11.2 (10.0), Eptam (EPTC) at 4.5 (4.0), Devrinol (napropamide) at 1.1 (1.0), Ronstar (oxadiazon) at 4.5 (4.0) and Tolban 4E (profluralin) at 0.6 (0.5) kg ai/ha (lb ai/a). All treatments tested allowed acceptable survival (82%) and height or dry weight growth.

SUMMARYThe effects of populations of 33,000–250,000 plants/ha on growth and grain yield of two cowpea genotypes of bush growth habit was studied in lowland Papua New Guinea. The optimum economic seed rate seems to be 100,000 plants/ha; increasing the plant population decreased pods/plant and lateral branch development, but increased seed number/pod. Genotype UV.53 yielded more than UV.19 due to a combination of all three yield components, and a large dry weight. Growth analysis showed that treatment effects were mediated by differences in growth between 8 weeks and harvest.

AbstractWillows (e.g. Salix caprea L.) are deciduous and richly branched shrubs or small trees. Salix caprea shows a high adaptability to different habitat conditions. One way of evaluating this adaptability is to measure willow biomass and production. Young plants of S. caprea were sampled from the bottom of an artificial lagoon in which sediments removed from the local Vajgar fishpond were deposited. The bottom of the lagoon was overgrown by vegetation dominated by seedlings of the willows S. caprea and S. aurita. Willows grew in the lagoon at average density of 58 plants per m2. The biomass production and growth of S. caprea were determined for 15 samples (collected from 315 individuals) during the growing season. Annual net dry matter production in the whole community was estimated for 2.7 kg m−2. Willows are generally considered to be fast-growing plants. The highest RGR of willows recorded by us was 0.03 to 0.04 g g−1 d−1 both in the stems and roots. This value was often recorded from July to August.

This research aims to determine the role of planting media and organic fertilizer to the growth and yield of celery plants. This research was conducted at Gampong Lancang Barat District Dewantara Regency of North Aceh, with height of place more about 5 m asl with flat condition (average) Implementation of research from March until June 2015. This study used Factorial Randomized Block Design. 2 Factors studied: Planting media factor (M), consisting of 4 levels: M0: soil (5 kg) M1: soil + manure (3:2) M2: soil + sand (3:2) M3: soil + ash husk (3:2). The organic liquid fertilizer (P) factor consists of 3 levels: P0: without fertilization P1: the application of liquid organic fertilizer as much as 2 cc / liter of water P2 the application of liquid organic fertilizer as much as 4 cc / liter of water. Thus there are 12 treatments in repeated three times, so that obtained 36 units of experiment. The results showed that planting media had significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, number of midrib, length of stem at 15, 30, 45 and 60 HST, leaf area, wet and dry weight. Growth and best results were found in soil media treatment with a mixture of husk ash (M3). Organic fertilizers have a very significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, number of midrib, length of stem at 15, 30, 45 and 60 HST, leaf area, wet and dry weight. Growth and best results are found in the application of liquid organic fertilizer as much as 4 cc / liter of water (P2). There is an interaction between plant media treatment and organic fertilizer application on plant height, leaf number, midrib, mid-length at age 15, 30, 45 and 60 HST, leaf area, wet and wet weighting. The best interaction is found in soil media treatment with a mixture of husk ash and liquid organic fertilizer as much as 4 cc / liter of water (M3P2).

The uptake of Ca by `Sunset' papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruit and its role in ripening was studied. The highest mesocarp Ca uptake rate occurred in fruit that were <40 days postanthesis when fruit transpiration was probably highest. Ca uptake rate by the mesocarp was low, from 60 to 80 days postanthesis when fruit fresh and dry weight increased. Mesocarp Ca uptake rate increased again from 100 to 140 days postanthesis when fruit fresh weight growth rate declined and dry weight growth rate increased. Mesocarp Ca concentration did not significantly differ from the peduncle to the blossom end. although Ca was significantly higher in the outer than inner mesocarp at the fruit equator. Mesocarp Ca concentration fluctuated significantly throughout the year ranging from 68 to 204 μg·g-1 fresh weight (FW). Soil Ca application did not always increase fruit mesocarp Ca concentration, while K and N fertilization decreased mesocarp Ca concentration. Attempts to increase mesocarp Ca concentration by spraying CaCl2 onto papaya fruit during growth and by postharvest vacuum infiltration and dipping of the cut peduncle into CaCl2 were unsuccessful. Mesocarp Ca concentration was positively correlated to the firmness of ripe papaya fruit and the rate of softening of mesocarp plugs. Less correlation was found between fruit firmness and the ratio of Ca concentration to K or Mg concentration, or to Mg plus K concentrations. Mesocarp Ca concentration of 130 μg·g-1 FW or above was associated with slower fruit softening rate than fruit with a lower concentration.

The edible quality of peaches (Prunus persica L. Batsch) to a great extent depends on their sweetness, which is related to sugar composition. Our objective was to develop a model to predict carbon partitioning within fruit flesh and to predict the sucrose, sorbitol, glucose, and fructose contents. The model is dynamic and deterministic and was designed to be driven by the flesh dry-weight growth curve, flesh water content, and temperature data. It uses differential equations where the state of the system is defined by variables that describe how much carbon is present as each form of sugar and as other compounds (acids and structural carbohydrates). The rates of change of these amounts of carbon depend on the current values of corresponding variables and on the transfer functions between them. These functions are defined by rate constants or by functions of degree-days after full bloom. The model was calibrated and tested using data sets from treatments that covered several leaf: fruit ratios. The predictions of the model were in fairly good agreement with experimental data. A sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the most influential transfer function parameters. Carbon flows between sugar forms were analyzed. Sucrose, which was the most abundant sugar, and fructose, which is the sweetest, contributed most to fruit sweetness. Simulations were performed to study the effects of changes in fruit growth-curve parameters on sugar contents and concentrations.

This paper presents a study on growth and photosynthesis response of soybean to Mo and/or B in soil. Pot experiments were set up to examine the effect of Mo and/or B on growth and photosynthesis of three soybean varieties with four treatments (control, +Mo, +B, +[Mo + B]) at various growth stages. The study showed that Mo and/or B increased main length, system volume and dry weight of the roots, aboveground biomass, leaves&rsquo; photosynthesis rate of soybean. The variation and interaction between Mo and B in soil was explored with regard to their impact on soybean growth and photosynthesis. There were some dissimilarity in growth and photosynthesis in the plants between the supplements of Mo and B in the soil, and the interrelation between Mo and B in plant and was co-supplementary to each other. Therefore, growth and photosynthesis of the soybean with Mo and B treatments were much more improved than those with Mo or B alone. Besides, some genotypic variation was found in three soybean varieties, in which Zhechun III was the most sensitive and 3811 the most tolerant plant to Mo and B.
