This is a suitable period for sowing to produce hybrids.
Seeds suitable for cool season sowing: Fenugreek, fava bean, oats, lupin, woolly pod vetch and subclover.[1].
Seeds suitable for warm season sowing: Millet (French white or Japanese), mung bean, buckwheat, cowpea, lablab and soybean.[1].
The suitability analyses identified suitable sowing windows for producing hybrids and for multiplication of the EGMS lines.
Ndiaye in Senegal has a period of 6 7 sowing months suitable for production of hybrids and a 3 4 months period suitable for multiplication of the EGMS line.
The AfricaRice station in M'be in Ivory coast has a period of 5 6 sowing months suitable for production of hybrids and a 3 4 months period suitable for multiplication of the EGMS lines, thus also well suited.
Fill the margarine container with moist sowing soil suitable for the seeds you're going to grow.
We presented two possible applications of our model: (1) assessing the suitability of other sites for hybrid rice breeding programs using the same EGMS varieties as considered here and (2) synchronisation of flowering dates and from that selection of suitable sowing dates for the two parent lines for production of hybrids.
With +2 °C climate change suitable sowing dates for hybrid production and EGMS multiplication (cross-pollination for producing F1 seed and self-pollination to maintain the EGMS line) remain the same as in the current climate.
Points above the red line are suitable sowing dates for producing hybrids (S EGMS = 100%).
