Resistance to Late Blight and Yield of Population B3 Potato Selectionsin Uganda

Nakitandwe, J.; Adipala, E.; El-Bedewy, R.; et al. TSpace 2009

Other claims from this paper (7)

Method / resource Absence of known R-genes simplified selection for horizontal late blight resistance in B3 relative to A clones.
Observation Many B3 genotypes had lower late blight severity than most local cultivars, including Rutuku.
Intervention effect Mancozeb spraying improved B3 genotype performance.
Intervention effect Mancozeb reduced late blight severity to an extent that varied by genotype and location.
Intervention effect Almost all genotypes yielded more with spraying than without it.
Observation Yields differed significantly among genotypes.
Recommendation Fourteen listed B3 entries performed well and were proposed for farm trials.

THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION (SRI) AS A BENEFICIAL HUMAN INTERVENTION INTO ROOT AND SOIL INTERACTION

Iswandi Anas; Joeli Barison; Amir Kassam; et al. Jurnal Ilmu Tanah dan Lingkungan 2011. doi:10.29244/jitl.13.2.72-88

Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation SRI practices commonly increase grain yields by 50-100% or more.
Observation SRI practices reduce water applications by 30-50%.
Observation SRI practices reduce the need for crop-protection agrochemicals.
Observation SRI plants are more resistant to pest and disease damage.
Observation SRI practices raise farmers’ net income.
Observation SRI plants show greater resistance to most biotic and abiotic stresses.
Observation SRI paddy gives about 15% higher milling out-turn.
Mechanism The higher milling out-turn is attributed to less chaff and fewer broken grains.
Mechanism The milling qualities may result from better root systems taking up micronutrients from lower soil horizons.

Other claims from this paper (5)

Association Corn in rotation improves winter wheat water use efficiency.
Association Corn in rotation improves proso millet water use efficiency.
Mechanism The authors suggest soil left by corn or legumes synergistically improves following crop growth efficiency.
Observation The proposed synergism is crop-specific.
Recommendation The authors suggest long-term cropping studies to assess synergism most accurately.
