Biomass, nitrogen uptake and fixed nitrogen partitioning in field grown mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp.
Delfin, E. F.; Paterno, E. S.; Torres, F. G.; Santos, P. J. A.; Crop Science Society of the Philippines, College, Philippines, Philippine Journal of Crop Science, 2008, 33, 3, pp 24-33, 26 ref. One of the options for the restoration of soil resource is through the incorporation of legumes into the cropping system because legumes have relatively short maturity period and can harness atmospheric nitrogen (N) through biological N fixation (BNF). A ...

Recycling the F2 generation of three commercial hybrid rice varieties at two nitrogen levels.
Ni Ni Tint; Lales, J. S.; Crop Science Society of the Philippines, College, Philippines, Philippine Journal of Crop Science, 2008, 33, 3, pp 45-55, 15 ref. The yield of F2 generation of local commercial rice hybrids has not been adequately evaluated. Hence, the "no recycling" recommendation for F2 hybrids needs at least quantitative basis. A field experiment was conducted during the dry and wet season to eva...
