Influence of Japanese Brome on Western Wheatgrass Yield

Marshall R. Haferkamp; R. K. Heitschmidt; Michael G. Karl Journal of Range Management 1997. doi:10.2307/4002704

Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome reduced total standing crop by 500 kg ha-1 in the western wheatgrass community.
Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome increased standing crop of western wheatgrass by 220 kg ha-2.
Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome increased tiller density of western wheatgrass by 153 tillers m-2.
Mechanism The increase in western wheatgrass standing crop appeared to result from increased tiller density rather than increased weight per tiller.
Intervention effect Western wheatgrass water relations were essentially unaffected by removal of Japanese brome in 1992.
Recommendation Removal of Japanese brome may increase production of associated perennial grasses.

COMBINED EFFECT OF CLIMATE AND CONCENTRATION OF THE NUTRIENT SOLUTION ON A GREENHOUSE TOMATO CROP. II: YIELD QUANTITY AND QUALITY

Other claims from this paper (12)

Intervention effect High EC significantly reduced yield in greenhouse tomato relative to 2 dS/m.
Intervention effect Low transpiration mitigated the effect of high EC on tomato yield relative to high transpiration.
Intervention effect Under high EC, high transpiration reduced marketable tomato yield by 30 percent relative to low transpiration.
Intervention effect Under high EC, high transpiration gave tomato fruits about 25 percent smaller than low transpiration.
Intervention effect Under high EC, high transpiration increased blossom-end rot incidence to 20 percent relative to low transpiration.
Intervention effect Low transpiration with high EC reduced tomato size and yield by 15 percent relative to 2 dS/m.
Observation Under low transpiration, incidence of blossom-end rot was only 2 percent.
Intervention effect Dry matter and sugar content of tomato fruit were higher under high EC than under 2 dS/m.
Observation Total dry matter yield of tomato was the same across treatments except the high EC, high transpiration treatment.
Observation In the high EC, high transpiration treatment, blossom-end rot reduced marketable tomato dry matter by 25 percent.
Observation Tomato fruit elasticity was not affected by any treatment once size differences were accounted for.
Recommendation Appropriate use of indoor climate tools can offset the effect of high salinity of irrigation water on tomato.

Other claims from this paper (16)

Observation Progenies varied substantially for yield, seed weight, meat and protein content.
Observation Progenies varied less for fruit length, fruit weight, oil content and maturity index.
Observation Heritability was highest for yield, meat and protein content.
Observation Heritability was intermediate for fruit length, fruit weight and seed weight.
Observation Heritability was lowest for oil content and maturity index.
Observation Genotypic correlations were generally higher than phenotypic correlations.
Association Maturity index showed low phenotypic correlations with yield and yield components.
Association Fruit size was highly correlated with seed weight.
Association Fruit size and seed weight were significantly correlated with yield.
Association Protein content and yield correlations were low.
Association Oil content was negatively correlated with yield.
Recommendation Selecting yield components was less effective than selecting yield directly.
Recommendation Selection for yield could increase protein content and fruit and seed traits.
Observation Transgressive segregation occurred across all studied traits.
Observation Progeny trait means were closer to the Spanish than the Virginia parent.
Observation Some progeny combined early maturity, high yield and large fruit.

Intervention effect In wheat, the 2:1 treatment had 29% lower net benefits than the control.
Intervention effect In wheat, the 1:1 treatment lowered gross revenue relative to the control.
Intervention effect In wheat, the 1:1 treatment reduced total costs relative to the control.
Intervention effect In barley, the 1:1 treatment had 25% lower net benefits than the control.
Intervention effect In barley, the 1:1 treatment increased the variation in net benefits by 4%.
Intervention effect In barley, the 2:1 treatment had 36% lower net benefits than the control.
Intervention effect In barley, the 2:1 treatment increased the variation in net benefits by 18%.
Intervention effect Water-harvesting in valley floors is not a net yield-increasing technology for cereals.
Intervention effect In wheat, the 1:1 treatment reduced the coefficient of variation by 19%.
Intervention effect In wheat, the 2:1 treatment reduced the variation in net benefits by 8%.
