The variability in seed germination counts raises the overdispersion problem. The objective of this study is to compare different approaches used in solving overdispersion and to offer practical solutions to researchers. The data sets were created from seed germination counts, which examined the allelopathic effect of white cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) on the germination of some culture and weed seeds. Methanol and aqueous concentrations (30%, 40%, 50%) of dry and fresh white cabbage were used. Assuming the Poisson distribution in the generalized linear mixed model, overdispersion problem was determined in redroot pigweed ( Amaranthus retroflexus L.), lamb’s quarters ( Chenopodium album L.) and sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) Equidispersion was determined in corn ( Zea mays L.) and it was perfectly adapted to the Poisson distribution. In order to overcome the overdispersion problem, generalized Poisson distribution outperformed negative binomial distribution. The increase concentration in the generalized Poisson in weeds, fresh cabbage methanol and aqueous applications were very effective reducing germination (p < 0.05). The best results in weed seeds were obtained at 50%. Unlike weeds, 30% concentration of dry cabbage methanol and aqueous were considered as the upper limit in order not to adversely affect germination in Z. mays and B. vulgaris. Consequently, in germination tests, the problem of overdispersion is inevitable as a result of excessive variability.

In Chile, using four wethers and grass cut on six measurement dates, Garrido and Mann (1981) developed an equation to predict grass ME concentration based on content of in vitro digestible organic matter in DM. The application of the Garrido and Mann (1981) equation has been generalized in Chile for all feed ingredients, diets and ruminant species. We hypothesized that ME prediction from this equation has limitations for its use in lactating grass-fed dairy cows. The objective of this study was to validate the ME prediction equation by Garrido and Mann (1981) for lactating grass-fed dairy cows in the autumn and spring seasons. The study was conducted at INIA Remehue (Osorno, Chile) using two sets of eight Holstein Friesian cows, with each group used twice in 21-d experimental periods in autumn and spring, respectively. Fresh grass-only diets with a predominance of perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) were supplied through soiling. In the last 5 d of each period, grass ME concentration was measured by subtracting energy lost in feces, urine and methane from ingested gross energy. A weak linear relationship was obtained between the ME determined in trials and ME predicted from the Garrido and Mann (1981) equation (R 2 = 0.266; P = 0.003). The ME prediction equation currently in use is inadequate for lactating grass-fed dairy cows. Therefore, new and improved equations for estimating grass ME specific to dairy cows are needed.","PeriodicalId":9851,"journal":{"name":"Chilean Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43786511","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 present study aimed to evaluate the impact of K fertilization on growth, yield, antioxidant content, and K use and response efficiency in red ginger cultivation. The study was conducted at Agro Techno Park (ATP) Jatikerto, Malang Regency, Indonesia. The field experiment was carried out in two periods, December 2019-August 2020 and January 2021-September 2021. In the first planting season, treatments included 4 K fertilizer rates (100, 200, 300, and 400 kg K ha -1 ), while eight treatments were applied in the second planting season (0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, and 420 kg K ha -1 ). Measured variables included growth, yield, rhizome quality, and K use and response efficiency. Red ginger growth variables (height, leaf number, and tiller number per clump), yield, plant biomass, K uptake, and soil exchangeable K were strongly affected by K application rates, and the highest effect occurred at 300 kg K ha -1 . In addition, the 300 kg K ha -1 rate resulted in the best rhizome morphology quality (rhizome diameter) and antioxidant content (6% to 30% higher than other treatments). Increased K fertilization decreased K use and response efficiency from 43% to 99% and decreased antioxidant content. Therefore, the study suggests that applying K fertilization at approximately 200-300 kg ha -1 improves the yield and quality of red ginger.","PeriodicalId":9851,"journal":{"name":"Chilean Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43407541","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}
