Grain size/mass was a primary target in the domestication of many crops, whereas relative allocation of resources to grain compared with biomass (harvest index) has accounted for much ongoing progress in crop yield improvement (Miller and Kebede 1984).
As with other crops, ongoing breeding programmes aim to increase overall harvestable yield and quality, with resistance to crop pests and pathogens as major targets.
Capri was his capital of the Roman Empire between A.D. 27 and 37, and remnants of Roman rule -- walls, odd bits of ruins, ongoing excavations -- crop up all over Capri.
Soil compaction that is induced by tillage and traction is an ongoing concern in crop production, and also has environmental consequences.
Change in biomass with advance of crop development reflects the ongoing responses of the crop to its treatments so staged biomass measurements can show when particular things occurred.
Among the presentations will be weed control in fresh-market tomato, residual herbicides in almonds and walnut orchards, symptomology of herbicide drift in row crops, thermal soil disinfestation research, weed-risk assessment for the horticulture industry and many more ongoing projects with other crops and non-crops.
The details are less explicit here, but the Budget does promise that the ATO will be provided with "additional resources to combat domestic tobacco crops" and "ongoing funding to bolster its capabilities to detect and destroy domestically grown illicit tobacco crops".
In recent years (2016-2018), cassava production has returned to pre-crisis levels following an increase in cultivation during the ongoing conflict as the crop requires less maintenance and physical presence in the fields compared to other crops.
The gas is the main food supply for plants, and a large body of evidence suggested that the ongoing rise could boost crop yields.
Many of these cannabis farms lie within some of the driest parts of the state, where the ongoing drought conditions leave crops extremely vulnerable.
Previous strategies include a successful malaria eradication program (H), ongoing coastal replanting (DC), crop diversification, and increased market-based livelihood strategies (EP).
