“…This confirmed that dry beans are more sensitive to water stress after the flowering stage than preflowering. Similar results were reported by other researchers for beans (MacKay and Eaves, 1962;Robins and Domingo, 1956;Dubetz and Mahalle, 1969) and other crops (Heatherly, 1993;Westgate, 1994;Ney et al, 1994). Negative effects in the preflowering stage can be compensated for by adequate irrigation after flowering.…”

“…A high irrigation regime (S 1 : irrigation to field capacity when available water decreased to 75% of field capacity) gave the highest yield in all years. This result was inconsistent with other irrigation response studies on beans (Maurer et al, 1969;Burman and Bohmont, 1961;MacKay and Eaves, 1962;Smittle, 1976;Miller and Burke, 1983) and peas (Maurer et al, 1968). The S 1 and S 2 irrigation regimes were both in the best performing group in high rainfall years, while S 1 out-yielded S 2 in low rainfall years.…”

“…Although preflowering irrigation is important to achieve maximum yield in bean (Buckman and Brady, 1960), opinions differ as to the importance of yield losses due to water stress at the vegetative stage (Şehirali, 1979). On the other hand, important yield losses were observed when there was water stress at the flowering and podding stages (Finn and Brun, 1980;MacKay and Eaves, 1962;Şehirali, 1979;Willer and Donahue, 1990). These losses were explained by a reduction in the number of flowers and pods formed (Dubetz and Mahalle, 1969;Smittle, 1976), and by blossom and pod drop (Borre, 1968).…”

Water stress is one of the most important yield-limiting abiotic factors for dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). This study was conducted 1) to identify the effects of different irrigation scheduling on yield and yield components, 2) to define the number and intervals of irrigation water requirements in dry beans and 3) to compare the performances of two dry bean varieties in different irrigation schedules. The experiments were carried out in the fields of the Anatolian Agricultural Research Institute from 1992 to 1996. Two dry bean cultivars, Yunus90 and Karacasehir90, were used to study the effects of five irrigation schedules (S 1 : High, S 2 : Medium, S 3 : Low, S 4 : High-Low, S 5 : Low-High rates of irrigation). The results indicated that year (Y) × irrigation regime (IR) interactions were important for yield and yield components. Karacaşehir90 was less affected by water stress than Yunus90 when rainfall was low in the growing season. Differences between irrigation schedules were more distinct when rainfall was low. The highest yield and yield component values were obtained from S 1 , while the lowest values were obtained from S 3 and S 4 . These results showed that water stress after flowering had the most adverse effect on yield. Thus, it is recommended that farmers use supplemental water chiefly after flowering when water sources are limited.

“…This work has shown that in timothy, as in cereals (Penman, 19626;Mackay & Eaves, 1962;Bingham, 1966;Roebuck & Peeler, 1966) the yield of seed can be increased by irrigation. However, there was no indication of a higher requirement for nitrogen where plots were irrigated, as was found in the work with cereals, and in the third year of the present work irrigation did not increase yield where nitrogen had been applied.…”

The first part of this paper (Lambert, 1967) described the purpose and layout of the experiment, and presented data on the vegetative growth of S. 48 timothy at a low plant density (30 cm x 30 cm square pattern) for production of seed. The treatments involved were (a) irrigation to field capacity for a period from about 1 week before initiation of inflorescences until 2 weeks before harvest, except for periods of profuse an thesis, and (6) no irrigation; these treatments were applied at three levels of nitrogen: 0, 87 and 261 lb N/acre (0, 97-5 and 292-5 kg N/ha) per annum designated, NO, N l and N2 respectively. The nitrogen was applied in two equal doses, in mid-September and at the stage of initiation of inflorescences in May.This paper describes the effect of the treatments on reproductive development, the components of yield, and the yield of clean seed. METHODSThe course of reproductive development was determined for each treatment by a series of apical dissections and by observation. From late April until inflorescences were completely differentiated, tillers were cut from plants in the first or sixth row of the treatments in one replicate on two occasions each week, and the apices of the ten largest tillers in each treatment were dissected out under a microscope. When seven of the ten tillers had apices with spikelet initials or complete floret initials it was accepted that the plants in that treatment had initiated or completely differentiated inflorescences respectively, provided that the subsequent dissections indicated at least the same stage of development.Estimates of the date of emergence of inflorescences, and of general anthesis were based on five inflorescences per plant; because local weather conditions may affect the date of anthesis (Emecz, 1961), the process may be spread over a considerable period in timothy. The duration of anthesis was recorded as that period when there was at least one inflorescence with fresh anthers on at least half of the plants; the date on which anthesis occurred in the majority of inflorescences was recorded as the date of general anthesis. The timothy was harvested when the majority of the seed was light brown. An area of 4 drills x 7 ft (2-1 m) was used for determination of yield of seed (Lambert, 1967). Material was stored in muslin bags, subsequently threshed in a machine built at N.I.A.E. (Chalmers & Billington, 1961), and the seed was cleaned by aspiration and sieving in apparatus slightly modified from that described by Chalmers & Kemp (1964). One drill of seven plants was harvested and, after the ears were counted, was threshed separately to determine the weight of seed produced per ear.The ears from the central plant in the areas used for determination of yield of seed were cut separately; these central plants were the ones used in spring for counts of numbers of tillers (Lambert, 1967). The ears from these plants were counted and their lengths were measured, and from each plant ten ears of graduated lengths were selected. Each ear was stripped to the rac...

“…Although irrigation of herbage grasses grown for production of seed has commanded little previous attention, there is considerable evidence on the effects of irrigation and moisture stress on yields of grain from cereals. Penman (1962), MacKay & Eaves (1962), Bingham (1966), and Roebuck & Peeler (1966) have reported positive responses to irrigation, and have drawn attention to the increased requirement for nitrogen under irrigation. A reduction in grain yield following soil moisture stress has been frequently recorded (van der Paauw, 1949;Asana, Saini & Ray, 1958;Denmead & Shaw, 1960;Robins & Domingo, 1962;Lehane & Staple, 1962;Chinoy, 1962;Aspinall.Nicholls & May, 1964).…”

1. Plants of S.48 timothy were established on a 1 ft square pattern for production of seed. Two series of plots, one irrigated and one not irrigated, were treated with three levels of applied nitrogen: 0 (NO), 87 (Nl) and 261 (N2) lb N per acre (0, 97·5 and 292·5 kg N/ha) per annum, for 3 years. In this, the first of two papers, only vegetative aspects of growth are considered. Since the irrigation treatment started only 2 weeks before most of the data were recorded, effects of irrigation on vegetative growth were generally small.2. The number of tillers per plant was increased by application of nitrogen; the lower increment was more effective than the additional nitrogen in the higher dose.3. The weight of tillers per plant was increased by nitrogen at both levels of application. The mean weight of each tiller was increased by nitrogen after the first year, predominantly in the N 2 treatment. In the second year, irrigation also increased the weight per tiller.4. The weight of roots per plant was significantly affected by application of nitrogen. In the first year, the weight was increased by nitrogen in irrigated plots; in the second year the roots were significantly heavier in the Nl treatment than in N0 and N2 treatments, where weights were similar; the same situation existed in irrigated plots in the third year, but in non-irrigated plots the weights of roots were similar in N1 and N2 treatments and were heavier than in the N0 treatment. Irrigation had positive effects on the weight of roots in the first and second years.
