Effects of Temperature and Photoperiod on Flowering in Lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.)

Effect of Sowing Dates on the Yield of Sunflower

“…To complete the vegetative growth 20 November sowing received the minimum 46 days while the maximum 56 days was found at 20 December sowing. Results revealed that late sown crop flowered earlier than those of early sown crop (Table 1) which might be due to the fact that higher temperature reduced vegetative growth and enhanced flowering (Summer et al, 1985, Nihal 2010. Similar trend was observed in 50% flowering as well as crop maturity.…”

“…4 [92] or in pea [181]. The [172]. This model was successfully applied on several species including grain legumes such as Cicer arietinum [151], Glycine max [66], Lens culinaris [172], Lupinus angustifolius [142], Vicia faba [88,123], Vigna radiata [171] and Vigna unguiculata [65].…”

Effects of irrigation and sowing date on phenology and yield of pinto beans(Phaseolus vulgarisL.) in Canterbury, New Zealand

“…Only the figure for E-F has been shown, and a stable T b of 7°C adopted for all thermal durations calculated. This is because the E-F stage is a critical phase among the development stages at which the other two critical factors (photoperiod and vernalisation) are known to greatly affect base temperature and hence the development rate of the crop (Summerfield et al 1985;Gourdriaan & Van Laar 1994). In contrast, the rate of development of the phases showed weak linear relationships with photoperiod.…”
