This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically uniform cultivars in many self-pollinated cereal crops dominate commercial production in high-input environments especially due to their high grain yields and wide geographical adaptation. These cultivars generally perform well under favorable and high-input farming systems but their optimal performance cannot be achieved on marginal/organic lands or without the use of external chemical inputs (fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides). Cereal breeding programs aim at evaluating candidate lines/cultivars for agronomic, disease and quality traits in a weed free environment that makes it impossible to identify traits conferring competitive ability against weeds. Moreover, quantification of competitive ability is a complex phenomenon which is affected by range of growth traits. Above (e.g. light) and below (e.g. water and nutrients) ground resources also influence competitiveness to a greater extent. Competitiveness is quantitatively inherited trait which is heavily influenced by many factors including genotype, management, environment and their interaction. Sound plant breeding techniques and good experimental designs are prerequisites for maximizing genetic gains to breed cultivars for organically managed lands. The brief is focused on breeding wheat for enhanced competitive ability along with other agronomic, genetic and molecular studies that have been undertaken to improve weed suppression, disease resistance and quality in organically managed lands. The examples from other cereals have also been highlighted to compare wheat with other cereal crops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking book that addresses the science that underpins organic agriculture and horticulture and its impact upon the management of organic systems With contributions from noted experts in the field, Organic Agriculture explores the cultural context of food production and examines the historical aspects, economic implications, and key scientific elements that underpin organic crop production. The book shows how a science-based approach to organic farming is grounded in history and elements of the social sciences as well as the more traditional areas of physics, chemistry and biology. Organic Agriculture offers a detailed explanation of the differences between organic systems and other approaches, answering questions about crop production and protection, crop rotations, soil health, biodiversity and the use of genetic resources. The authors identify current gaps in our understanding of the topic and discuss how organic farming research may be better accomplished in the future. This important book: Explores the science that underpins organic farming Contains illustrative case studies from around the world Examines organic agriculture’s philosophical roots and its socio-economic context Written for scientists and students of agriculture and horticulture, this book covers the issues linked to the use of science by organic producers and identifies key elements in the production of food.

Book excerpt: It has been over 200 years since Fusarium pathogens were described for the first time, and they are still in the spotlight of researchers worldwide, mostly due to the mycotoxigenic abilities and the subsequent introduction of harmful metabolites into the food chain. The accelerating climatic changes are resulting in pathogen population and chemotype shifts all around the world, thus increasing the demand for continuous studies of factors that affect the virulence, disease severity and mycotoxin accumulation in plant tissues. This Special Issue summarizes recent advances in the field of Fusarium genetics, biology and toxicology.

Download or read book Performance of Five Winter Wheat Cultivars when Grown in Composite and Pure Stand Populations Under Different Environmental Stresses written by Erdogan Indelen and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five genetically and morphologically different winter wheat cultivars, Hyslop (H), Yamhill (Y), Paha (P), Luke (L), and Sprague (5) were blended in all possible combinations. These composites plus the five pure stands were planted in the fall of 1973 at three environmentally diverse locations in Oregon: Hyslop Agronomy Farm, Corvallis; Central Oregon Experiment Station, Madras; and Sherman Experiment Station, Moro. A triple lattice design was selected be cause of the large number of treatments with five filler cultivars added to balance the experiment. Eight traits, yield per plot, number of plants per plot, number of tillers per plot, number of heads per plant, yield per plant, number of kernels per head, 1000 kernel weight and plant height, were measured for each treatment. General and relative competitive ability of the cultivars in composite combinations and yield of pure stands were determined and ranked for all locations. Specific competitive ability was determined for all composite treatments. General and specific competitive ability were defined as the grain yield of the component lines across all composite combinations and within single treatments, respectively. Relative competitive ability was defined as yield of the component lines versus its pure stand in composite combinations. The rank for general and relative competitive ability and yield of pure stands were Y>H>P>L>S, Y>P>H>L>S, and H>Y>L> S>P, respectively at Corvallis. Only Hyslop yielded significantly higher than the mean of five pure stands. However, Yamhill was superior for general and relative competitive ability at this location. The rank of the component lines for general and relative competitive ability was the same at Madras (P>Y>H>S>L). But the yield rank of pure stands was different (L>H>Y>P>S). Luke and the composites, H+L+S, H+L, and H+Y+P yielded significantly higher than the mean of the five pure stands. General and relative competitive ability of cultivars when grown at Moro was Y>H>P>L>S and H>Y>P>L>S, respectively. The rank for yield for pure stands was Y>H>L>P>S. Yamhill was superior for general competitive ability and as a pure stand. However, Hyslop was superior for relative competitive ability. Pure stand Yamhill, H+L and H+Y combinations yielded significantly higher than the mean of the five pure stands. The cultivars had the same rank for general competitive ability at Corvallis and Moro. Significant differences were not found between treatments for yield in a combined analysis of variance. Analysis of variance indicated that treatments responded the same for all traits across all locations. Paha was very susceptible (80 percent) to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita) at Corvallis in 1974. Hyslop was resistant with the other cultivars having a lower percentage of disease than Paha. The 15 composite combinations containing Paha had between 20 and 50 percent leaf rust. The yield of 14 out of 15 composite combinations exceeded that of pure stand Paha. The mean infection of the five pure stands was higher than the mean infection of those composite combinations containing Paha. Composites composed of lines with different sources of resistance to leaf rust reduced the overall amount of disease. Composite populations were superior under stress or medium stress conditions whereas varieties per se were superior under ideal growing conditions. However the performance of a cultivar under pure stand conditions in a given environment is not a direct measure of its yielding ability in a composite. Therefore it will be necessary to test various composite combinations in different locations for several years before recommending a specific composite for commercial production.
