Response of maize cultivars to sowing in the winter

Abstract

In a 2-year field study, all the maize cultivars tried (Partap-1 Ageti-76, Ganga-5 and DHM-103) produced similar length of ears and equivalent grain yields. However, Partap-1 and Ganga-5 produced greater 100-kernel weight and greater grain yield per ear but fewer ears per hectare than Ageti-76 and DHM-103. The yield attributes and grain yields of maize sown on

Productivity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolar L.) at diverse irrigation regimes and sowing dates in semi-arid and arid environment

“…During the reproductive stage of the plant, early harvesting's significant increase in all yield attributes may be attributed to better nutrient uptake and photosynthesis translocation resulting in smaller grains. The results of this research are consistent with the findings of Narwal et al (2005) and Raei and Sharifi (2009). Higher grain yield may be due to a higher quantity of leaves per plant in sorghum cultivars.…”
