Stable nutritive value and multiple harvests of sweet sorghum offers great potential as an alternative silage crop compared to corn in the relatively humid environment of eastern China.
The recovered TN mass via multiple harvests of M. aquaticum was greatest (120 222 g N m−2 yr−1) when TN concentrations were 21.8 282 mg L−1.
The largest cluster for both parents of population POP356 is located on LG5, with 11 QTLs associated with the concentration of polyphenolic compounds [isorhamnetin galactoside/glucoside, quercetin arabinose/rhamnoside and compounds 417.12(1) and 417.12(2)].> -wrap-foot> QTLs were identified using average and maximum FD score from multiple harvests of the same seedling.
Advantages of using SRC willow for biomass production include fast growth and high biomass production, ability to re-sprout after multiple harvests, ease of vegetative propagation from dormant woody cuttings, a wide genetic base for breeding and a positive greenhouse gas (GHG) balance [1,4 6].
A total of 27 QTLs over 10 chromosomal regions (LGs 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16) were detected for FD, using the average and maximum score of multiple harvests in 2011 and 2012 for population POP369 (Table 4), with the proportion of genotype explained by each QTL ranging from 3.5% to 13%.
Of 23 genotypes with multiple harvests in 2011, five genotypes of the POP369 population exhibited low FD at early harvests and high FD at later harvests.
In Part 2, research to enable the system to function with multiple harvesting machines of the same type in the same field – a common situation in commercial cotton farming – is described along with testing of the entire automated wireless module-tracking system (WMTS).
Mexico City's floating gardens small artificial islands full of crops and built up on shallow lake beds once sustained the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, producing multiple harvests every year.
By using northern Iceland's natural heat sources to produce multiple harvests, local farmers revolutionized the centuries-old traditional Icelandic diet of meat, fish and dairy products.
In 2012, 177 fruit samples from 98 genotypes of the POP369 population were harvested, with multiple harvests where possible.
Despite the possibility of lower yields, there may be other advantages to performing multiple harvests.
