Wilczek) are most commonly grown in Battambang Province North-West Cambodia: KPS-2 (Thailand); and DX-208 (Vietnam). From the buyer’s point of view, the ideal variety would have large shiny seeds and from the farmer’s point of view, resistance to pod-shattering for single-pick or mechanical harvesting is a priority. KPS-2 has resistance to pod-shattering but small seeds and DX-208 has large seeds but has pods that shatter readily. The ideal variety would have both traits. This study evaluated 17 released mungbean varieties from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia for grain yield, seed weight and resistance to pod-shattering in a series of experiments from 2019 to 2021. In 2019, the four Cambodian varieties were evaluated alongside 11 Australian public varieties. Five of the Australian varieties were rejected because of low seed weight, dull seed coat and unacceptable color. Cambodian variety CMB-1 was rejected because of dull seed coat and indeterminate maturity. In 2021, the six remaining Australian varieties were re-evaluated together with locally grown varieties (DX-208, KPS-2) and Cambodian varieties (CARDI Chey, CMB-2 and CMB-3). The seed weight for Emerald was very similar to that for DX-208. Seed weights for CARDI Chey, CMB-3, King and Shantung were not significantly different to KPS-2. In laboratory testing for resistance to pod shattering, Delta, Emerald and KPS-2 were the most resistant and DX-208 was the most susceptible to pod shattering. The Australian varieties Delta and Emerald are recommended for further testing across other mungbean growing regions of Cambodia before submission for registration and commercial release.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136185711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Greenhouse studies were conducted over two years to assess the effect of low rates of dicamba on tomatoes at different growth stages and investigate fruit contamination. Treatments included untreated controls and dicamba applied at 1/16X, 1/32X, 1/64X, and 1/128X rates with non-ionic surfactant (NIS). Tomato plants at three growth stages (vegetative, flowering, and fruiting) were evaluated for dicamba sensitivity. Vegetative stage plants showed the highest sensitivity, while no significant differences in injury were observed between flowering and fruiting stages. Only the untreated controls produced fruit at the vegetative stage. Plants at flowering and fruiting stages successfully produced fruits. Harvested tomato fruits from each dicamba rate and the untreated control were planted, and progeny (F1) seedlings were evaluated for dicamba symptomology. No visual dicamba symptoms were observed in the tomato progeny, indicating the absence of dicamba contamination. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed no detectable levels of dicamba in the fruit samples. These findings indicate that low rates of dicamba, even at simulated drift levels, do not significantly affect tomatoes or result in fruit contamination. The results contribute to understanding the risks associated with herbicide drift and its impact on sensitive crops like tomatoes.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135355054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The obtained data were analyzed through the distribution of frequencies and tables. Farmers are mostly family farmers who do not receive any kind of technical assistance or training to run the crop. They apply their own resources to cover the expenses and investments in production, having as a limiting factor the expansion of the business. Most do not control profitability, and of the percentage that does, only 7% use spreadsheet, do not have financial reserves in case of unforeseen occurrences. The values of the products marketed are almost always uncertain, since 81% of the marketers say that prices are negotiable. The main products marketed are fruits and vegetables, not being processed. Among the difficulties pointed out by the fairgrounds for the execution of the activity are the production costs.

Studies have shown that rising temperatures and extreme weather events like droughts and floods significantly reduce soybean yields. Developing flood-tolerant soybean genotypes is crucial for ensuring food security. Conventional breeding programs are limited by laborious and imprecise visual rating methods for flooding tolerance identification. High-throughput platforms for plant phenotyping using imaging techniques offer potential solutions, but they lack information on underlying physiological mechanisms. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is a molecular adaptation in photosynthesis that dissipates excess light energy, protecting plants from damage. This study aimed to integrate NPQ measurements into high-throughput phenotyping procedures to identify flooding-tolerant soybean genotypes. The study evaluated 160 soybean genotypes for flooding tolerance, identifying those with higher grain yield potential. Subsequently, ten genotypes were selected for monitoring NPQ responses under flooded conditions. Results showed that genotypes with higher grain yields also exhibited superior NPQ performance, suggesting a positive correlation between flooding tolerance and energy dissipation capacity. Among these genotypes, 58I60 RSF IPRO, 64HO130 I2X and BRS 525 displayed superior potential and could be further exploited in breeding efforts, considering their grain yield capacity, plant leaf area, and photoprotective capacity under flooding conditions. These findings suggest that integrating NPQ measurements into high-throughput phenotyping platforms can aid in identifying flood-tolerant soybean genotypes for breeding programs, leading to more resilient crops in the face of climate change. Further field studies are warranted to validate these hypotheses and improve crop models for future climate scenarios.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135355052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current trial, the adjuvant (Rizospray Extremo) was applied at 3 rates, i.e., 73 ml/ha, 109 ml/ha and 145 ml/ha. The herbicide mixtures used for the trial were glyphosate (glyphader) and triclopyr (garlon) mixtures at 436 ml/ha and 182 ml/ha respectively (60 mls glyphosate + garlon at 25 mls mixed in 15 litres of water). The herbicide control was glyphosate at 436 ml/ha + garlon at 182 ml/ha (with no adjuvant) whiles one plot was used as the no herbicide control. Weeds on the site include both soft weeds and woodies. Observations on weed mortality were made on weekly basis. Generally, herbicide application (with and without the adjuvant) effectively controlled the soft weeds at the site. Percentage weed growth reduction and herbicide efficacies generally increased with increasing rates of the adjuvant. Highest herbicide efficacy of 96% was obtained by the use of the adjuvant at 145 ml/ha. The treatments differed significantly mostly in their levels of control of the woody weeds at the site with adjuvant application at 145 ml/ha inducing the highest control of woody weeds (herbicide efficacy of 95.7%), whiles Adjuvant application at 73 ml/ha induced an efficacy of 88.91% on the woodies at the site. Glyphosate plus garlon application (without the use of adjuvant) induced an efficacy of 78.39%. The adjuvant was very effective in controlling weeds with waxy cuticles like the Thaumatococcus spp which were not effectively controlled without the use of theand adjuvant.
