Twelve blackgram genotypes with an arbitrary grouping as 'high' 'medium' and 'low' yielders were studied in terms of assimilate partition. The phenotypic variability was wide. Growth in blackgram is significant between 'peak flowering' and 'harvest' phases. Yielding ability is conditioned by the twin criteria of growth attained on the 45th day and number of folds this value is increased by harvest. Accordingly, CO2 rates itself 'high' among high yielders, No.55 among 'medium' yielders and CM and T9 among 'low' yielders. Growth with the parameter of plant dry weight was phenomenal between 45 days and harvest. This velocity of growth and growth already obtained were yield determinants. This is amply demonstrated by the influence on the typical sigmoid growth curve.
Effect of split application of N at different physiological stages was studied. Total dose of 100 Kg. of N was supplied to the rice crop IR60 adopting four treatments bnesides the normal treatment i.e., 50:25:25. Sufficient N supplied from the panicle initiation onwards favoured for better source activity and sink capacity. Improvement in panicle Number, spikelet Number, filled spikelet due to the appropriate treatment favoured for the concomitent increase in the grain yield and harvest index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
