A three year study compared the response of promising breeding lines, new cultivars and commercial soybean cultivars to three planting patterns and two sowing dates. The planting patterns were: 25-45 cm rows on 200 cm wide beds, twin 15 cm rows on 100 cm hills, and single rows on 100 cm hills. In all planting patterns, the established plant populations were 20-25 m-2. The sowing dates were December 1 or 5 and January 15 or 22. There was a yield increase of up to 14% (433 kg ha-1) with narrow rows on wide beds and twin rows over 100 cm rows, the extent depending on cultivar and season, with an overall average increase of only 5 to 8%. In the two seasons where narrow rows yielded more than 100 cm rows, cv. Forrest yielded best in twin rows, while the other genotypes yielded best with narrow rows on wide beds. These effects were the same for both sowing dates. January sowings yielded 30% less than December sowings, but this decline in yield was least evident in cvv. Forrest and Ruse. Forrest was the highest yielding cultivar for both sowing dates in every season (3605 and 271 6 kg ha-1 respectively). We conclude that the small increase in yield with narrow rows may be worthwhile economically, as long as no extra costs are involved. The planting pattern and sowing date response of promising lines should be examined as part of a breeding program.

SummaryA two-year study was conducted at two locations in Niger to compare the response of five cowpea cultivars to two planting patterns and two sowing dates relative to the sowing date of pearl millet. All the cowpea cultivars took less time to mature when planted three weeks after millet than when sown one week after. Early-maturing cowpea cultivars had the smallest yield, whereas the yield of the local indeterminate cultivar was nearly double that of the other cultivars at both dates of sowing. Early planting of cowpea significantly depressed millet yield, but when cowpea was planted late millet yields approached those of the sole crop. The local cultivar depressed millet yields more than the other cowpea cultivars. Planting pattern had no significant effect on the yield of either cowpea or millet. Cowpea yield was reduced by more than 50% by two weeks delay in sowing, confirming that the sowing date of cowpea relative to millet is a critical factor in the Sahelian pearl millet/cowpea intercropping system. There were marked differences in the effect of cowpea cultivar on millet yield but these differences were consistent over sowing dates.

The results of studying resistance of mid-ripening spring wheat cultivars to root rot in the forest-steppe zone of Irkutsk region are presented. The study was conducted in a two-factor field experiment. Factor A – mid-ripening spring wheat cultivars: Tulunskaya 11 (control), Zoryana, Маrsianka, Stolypinka (new cultivars). Factor B – seeding dates: May 10, 20, 30, preceded by fallow. The experimental plot area was 70.0 m2. The experiment was repeated three times. Plot arrangement was randomized. Root rot prevalence was determined during the tillering phase of the crop. In 2018, the sowing dates did not affect the disease due to the long spring-summer drought (May-June) and a higher average daily temperature compared to long-term average values. In arid and cold conditions of May 2019, with the late sowing period (May 30), root rot prevalence was significantly lower than when sowing on May 10 and 20. In 2019, a higher level of the disease was registered than in 2018 by 14.3%. Significant differences in root rot prevalence in both years of research were noted between the control cultivar Tulunskaya 11 and the new cultivars of spring wheat Zoryana and Stolypinka. In the tillering phase of the latter two, disease indicators were lower by 5.6% and 10.5% in 2018, and by 8.8% and 7.9% in 2019, respectively. Маrsianka cultivar was at the control level for this indicator. The best cultivar under study was Stolypinka, which was not only less affected by root rot, but also gave a statistically significant yield increase of 0.16 t/ ha in 2018 and 0.22 t/ha in 2019.

Seven genotypes, including 5 in the final stages of cultivar selection, were evaluated for their phenological development, yield, seed size, oil concentration and protein concentration in response to changes in sowing date and row spacing over 3 seasons, 1982-83, 1983-84and 1984-85. Genotype x sowing date interactions were detected for both phenological development and yield, particularly with the cultivar Sxy 59. This genotype was most affected by temperature during the pre-flowering phase of early November sowings. It was lower yielding in November sowings but was the highest yielding genotype in January sowings. Its adaptation to January sowings was unexpected because this genotype also showed high photoperiod sensitivity and flowered and matured rapidly in the late sowings. With early sowing, yield of the other cultivars was equivalent, or superior to (P=0.05), that obtained with the recommended early December sowing date, depending on the season. Late sowings caused yield reductions of about 34%. Increases in yield with narrow rows (50 v. 100 cm) were significant (P = 0.05) in 1 season and averaged 5% overall. Genotypexrow spacing interactions were only detected in 1 season, but no genotype was superior to the standard cultivar, Forrest, in adaptation to narrow rows. Thus this study revealed genotype responses which would affect adoption of newly released cultivars. It was concluded that this type of study is valuable in the final stages of a selection program and that these studies should include both early and late sowing dates and be conducted over several seasons.

<p>Research on the introduction of quinoa in Italy is currently lacking. The present research was aimed at identifying the correct sowing period. Field experiment was consucted in Cesa, Tuscany, in 2017. Two new breeding lines coded as DISPAA-Q42 and DISPAA-Q47-CB were utilized. Three sowing dates (SD) were implemented: February 23; March 17 and April 27. Results showed that the most successful SD was February 23. A significant decrease in both seed yield and a delay in phenological phases, relating to plant maturation and flowering was associated with the sequential delay in SD in both lines. Results also showed a significant effect of lines on yield, true-leaf stage development, flower development and maturity. Only DISPAA-Q42 was considered suitable for cultivation in the Tuscan environment. DISPAA-Q47-CB was the more susceptible line, due to the sequential delay in SD and delayed plant maturation. No effect between lines was evident for protein and saponin content. The present study clearly shows the potential for the successful cultivation of quinoa in Central Italy, and highlights the necessity of taking into consideration both breeding lines and SD in order to accomplish this goal.</p>

SUMMARYAn experiment was carried out over a 3-year period at two locations in the central rainlands of Sudan under rainfed conditions at one site and under supplementary irrigation at the other to study the effects of cultivars and cultural practices on growth and grain yield of sunflower. Four cultivars, namely, Manohurian, Peredovik, Hungarian-A and Hungarian-B and four intra-row spacings of 15, 30, 45 and 60 cm (in rows 60 cm apart) were tested with three sowing dates starting on 15 July and following at 15-day intervals. Manchurian outyielded the other three varieties under supplementary irrigation whereas under rainfed conditions the reverse was true. This was attributed to the relative earliness in flowering of the varieties and their moisture requirements. Manchurian was the tallest with the thickest stem and a larger head at both locations compared with the other three varieties. Under rainfed conditions, the early sowing date of 15 July gave a significantly higher grain yield than the other two sowing dates, with the last sowing date of 15 August giving significantly least. This is attributed to decreasing moisture availability with delayed sowings. But under supplementary irrigation the effect of sowing date was less marked. Contrasting effects of sowing dates on plant height and stem circumference were obtained under the two systems of production. Under rainfed conditions there was a decrease in plant height and stem circumference with delayed sowing, whereas under supplementary irrigation the reverse was true. A contrasting response of plant height to spacing was also obtained; wider intra-row spacing was associated with taller plants under rainfed conditions and shorter plants under supplementary irrigation. Wider spacing was associated with thicker stems and larger heads at both locations. On the evidence obtained, 45 cm intra-row spacing is recommended for rainfed planting and 30 cm intra-row spacing for irrigated production of sunflower.

ABSTRACT No isolated factor influences soybean development and production more than the sowing date, but the responses of cultivars sown on different sowing dates depends on their sensitivity to environmental conditions. Thus, this study evaluated the adaptability and stability of 17 soybean genotypes in relation to yield, as well as to the grain oil and protein contents as a function of different sowing times. The experiment was designed in randomized blocks with three replications and a 17 × 5 factorial scheme. The genotypes were: Conquista, CD 223 AP, Elite, Garantia, Bioagro lineage, M-Soy 8400, M-soy 8001, Nambu, Sambaíba, Esplendor, UFVS 2006, UFVS 2005, UFVTN 102, UVF 18, UFV 16, Valiosa, Vencedora, and the five sowing dates were: SD1 = 11/3, SD2 = 11/20, SD3 = 12/07, SD4 = 12/23, and SD5 = 01/09. The M-Soy 8001, UFV 18 and Garantia genotypes showed high oil contents, with adaptation to all sowing dates and stability when sown on the most favorable dates. The Bioagro lineage, CD 223 AP, and Garantia genotypes were adapted and stable when sown on all sowing dates and had higher protein contents than the other genotypes, regardless of the sowing date. The Elite, Nambu, and Garantia genotypes were adapted and stable when sown on the most favorable sowing dates and presented high grain yields when sown in early December. The findings indicate that the Garantia genotype is the most suitable for the growing conditions of the central-north region of the state of São Paulo.

The field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Station of Aleksandras Stulginskis University in 2015–2017. The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the influence of sowing time on spreading of pests and diseases in spring oilseed rape crop. The first sowing occurred when soil reached physical maturity, the other sowing dates were every 5 days in 2015–2016 and every 7 days in 2017. In 2015, the sowing time did not have a significant effect on the distribution of Alternaria brassicae. Meteorological conditions strongly influenced the severity of the disease. The sowing date had a significant influence on the distribution of Verticillium dahliae: in the spring rape crop sown in May, the stems were damaged by 6.4%, less compared to the crop sown in April. In 2016–2017, the rape seedlings in the plots of the latest sowing were significantly more damaged compared with those of earlier sowing dates. In 2016, spreading of Verticillium longisporum significantly increased by 3.7 times in the crop of spring rape sown on 10 May compared to other sowing dates. In 2017, the spreading of Verticillium dahliae in spring rape crops was more influenced by a colder than usual vegetation period and an abundant rainfall than the sowing time. In 2015, the intensity of Phyllotreta spp. damage in the rape seedling period (BBCH 10-19) significantly increased by 2.7 times with the sowing date from 30 April to 20 May. The spreading of Meligethes aeneus was the least in the spring oilseed rape sown at the optimal time (30 April and 5 May). In 2016–2017, Phyllotreta spp. were more intensively spread in the crops sown in April, and rape seedlings were significantly more damaged. In 2016, Meligethes aeneus were most widely spread in the spring rape crop of the earliest sowing (4 October). A significant decrease in the number of pests was detected in the rape crops sown in May compared to that sown in April. In 2017, the highest number of Meligethes aeneus was evaluated in the rape crop sown on 2 June, significantly by 3.9 times more compared with that in the earlier sown crop and by 2.9 times in the crop sown one week later. It is believed that the other generation of Meligethes aeneus from winter rape crops went to the spring rape crops. In 2016, there was a very strong statistically significant correlation between the sum of positive temperatures for the 10-day period up to the sowing of rapeseed and the prevalence of Phyllotreta spp. in crops: r = 0.98, P ≤ 0.05, and the damage intensity of rape seedlings by Phyllotreta spp. of (BBCH 10-19): r = 0.92, P ≤ 0.05. The warmer the weather was before rape sowing, the more active Phyllotreta spp. were. In 2017, strong correlations were established between the number of Phyllotreta spp. and the intensity of crop damage by Phyllotreta spp. and the crop density 3 days after the emergence: r = –0.82, P ≤ 0.05; r = –0.89, P ≤ 0.01, and 7 days after the emergence of spring rape: r = –0.81, P ≤ 0.05; r = –0.88, P ≤ 0.01.

The development of new cultivars has provided impetus for soybean (Glycine max) production in northern New South Wales to expand into dryland cropping areas. These new cultivars differ from the traditional irrigated types by being indeterminate and maturing 3-4 weeks earlier. There is no information on the response of this type of cultivar to agronomic factors such as sowing date. However, knowledge of the response to sowing date is of particular importance as it allows producers to decide whether or not to take advantage of good seedbed moisture outside the most favoured range for sowing date. This study utilised irrigated conditions to examine the phenological and yield potential responses to sowing date of 6 early maturing genotypes, including the recently released cultivars. For sowing dates from early November to December the phenological responses were minor and unlikely to influence sowing date decisions, but yield responses varied among genotypes. The recently released cultivars Farrer and Valder showed similar yielding ability across sowing dates from early November to early December. However, the other 4 genotypes (Williams, Calland, Bill 55, Witch 101) showed a marked yield depression with early sowings. Thus choice of cultivar is important when deciding on sowing dates, and tests of sowing date response are necessary for cultivars released for dryland production in the future.

This experiment was conducted in Homs Agricultural Research Station, Homs, Syria during 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons to study the effect of sowing date and plant density on bolting for four sugar beet varieties, tow are monogerm varieties i.e. Parade and Etna, while the other are multigerm varieties i.e. Nadir and Mammoth. Three sowing dates were applied, began from 15/9 to 15/10, the interval between the sowing dates was 15 days. Three plant densities were executed (133 000, 100 000 and 80 000 plantha-1). Split plot design was used with three replicates. The combined analysis exhibited the significant effect of varieties (V), sowing dates (S), and plant densities (D) on all types of bolting (Early, medium, late and total). Least significant test (L.S.D 0.05) clarified that early autumn sowing (15/9 and 1/10) increased total bolting percent 74.86 and 44.88 % respectively, as compared with date (15/10) 15.57% (control). The plant density (133 000 plant ha-1) decreased total bolting percent 43.56% as compared with the other plant densities (80 000 and 100 000 plant ha-1) 46.35 and 45.40% respectively. The results showed that the monogerm varieties were superior and more resistant to bolting as compared with the multigerm ones.

In order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and planting pattern on yield and qualitative parameters of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in intercropping, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications, in Hamedan, Iran, during 2014-15. The rapeseed seeds were sown on 21st September. Chickpea was sown on four sowing dates as the main factor (21 September, 10 October, 30 October and 20 November) with 20 days interval. The sub-factor was the planting pattern by replacement series including 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 chickpea-rapeseed mixtures, respectively. Based on the results obtained, among chickpea sowing dates, the first and the last dates had the lowest and highest above-ground biomass and grain yield, respectively. During the late sowing date of chickpea (20 November) the field temperature was colder than the earlier dates, and therefore the freezing temperatures did not allow the seeds to germinate. However, no damage happened to seedlings with the earlier sowing dates. The highest yield was observed in sole cropping for both crops. In contrast, the highest values of land equivalent ratio were obtained in intercropping system. The highest value for land equivalent ratio was calculated as 1.23 in intercropping of 50% chickpea + 50% rapeseed.
