“…Such cultivars are also desired to be adapted to wide range of environments. Besides the genotypes, yield and quality traits are also greatly influenced by environmental factors (Liu et al, 2016;Mehraj et al, 2017).…”

This study was conducted to define grain yield and quality traits of local oat cultivars and to assess the adaptability to and stability of cultivars in different environments of Central and West Black Sea Region of Turkey.Twenty-five oat genotypes were evaluated in a randomized block design with four replications in six different environments. Genotype, environment and genotype × environment interaction had highly significant effects on grain yield and quality traits. The oat genotypes exhibited significant variations in grain yield (2.15-5.81 t ha -1 ), test weight (40.8-46.7 kg), thousand-grain weight (21.8-34.2g), groat percentage (70.1-73.6 %), protein (12.0-13.3%), ash (2.34-2.77%), starch (42.7-49.6 %), β-glucan (2.93-3.56%), ADF (13.6-16.4%), NDF (31.5-34.4 %) and fat (5.69-6.80). The genotypes G5, G7, G12, G15, and G17 were identified as the most stable cultivars for grain yield. These genotypes also had high values for desired quality traits. Therefore, these genotypes can be recommended for tested environments and similar environments. It was concluded that the genotypes with high values for desired quality traits could be used in further oat breeding programs to improve new cultivars with stable grain yield and high quality.

“…On the other hand, Johnson et al (2005) did not find grain yield improvement neither from Zn seed priming nor from soil Zn fertilization in chickpea and lentil. In summer maize (Zea mays L.) Zn applied as both basal and foliar spray increased the grain yield with application rates varying between locations (Liu et al, 2016).…”

Field experiments were conducted at three locations with Zn deficient soils in southern Ethiopia during 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons to evaluate the effects of Zn fertilization strategies and varietal differences on Zn content and plant performance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Factorial combinations of three Zn fertilization strategies and five varieties were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications in each location and year. A combined analysis of variance was made using a mixed effects model. Zinc foliar application increased grain Zn content by 21 and 22% over Zn soil application and seed priming, respectively. The improvements were around four folds for straw Zn content for the same comparisons. Effects of Zn application strategies on gain and straw Zn contents were consistent across locations. The grain Zn concentration varied among the varieties ranging from 34 mg kg -1 for Mastewal to 42 mg kg -1 for the Landrace and variety Arerti. Zn application strategies did not affect the growth and yield parameters, except for pod bearing branches. FoliarZn application and appropriate variety selection are potential approaches for Zn biofortification in chickpea.Further study aimed at identifying most effective spray timing for maximum grain quality response would be worthwhile to cut fertilizer and application costs.

“…The improvement of fertilization technology can increase roots' nutrient absorption and leaves' net CO 2 assimilation [5]. Microelement and CO 2 fertilizer can regulate mesophyll cell activity and photosynthate accumulation [6][7][8][9]. In arid and semi-arid areas, water shortages are the limiting factor for crop growth.…”

An experiment was conducted in China to develop guidelines for the mulching drip irrigation of commercial muskmelon crops. Three sets of factors were laid out in rows to give a three × three factorial design. First, plastic covers were placed over the entire growing area (rows and inter-rows, or full), over the rows (half), or no plastic applied (none). Second, there was one irrigation pipe per row (T1), three pipes for four rows (T3/4), or one pipe for two rows (T1/2). Finally, the plants were irrigated when the soil water content fell to 60%, 70%, or 80% of field water capacity (FC). Information was collected on net CO2 assimilation (Pn), plant growth, and yield. Overall, maximum Pn occurred with half plastic covering, one irrigation pipe for two rows, and irrigation at 80% FC. Plant fresh weight was higher with half plastic covering, one irrigation pipe per row, and irrigation at 70% or 80% FC. Yield was higher with half plastic covering, and irrigation at 70% or 80% FC. There were only small differences in the yield across numbers of irrigation pipes. These results suggest that overall productivity was better with plastic covers over the rows and irrigation at 70% or 80% FC. Differences in productivity with different numbers of irrigation lines per row were small.
