Benefits of high nitrogen fertilizer on nitrogen metabolism, nitrogen transfer rate, root system architecture and grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under water deficit at heading stage
Water and nitrogen (N) fertilizer are the two main factors affecting wheat growth and yield. Spring wheat cultivars, Spitfire (drought sensitive) and Drysdale (drought tolerant), were used as materials for stu...

Sowing seasons and drying methods during post-harvest influence the seed vigour of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)
Experiments were conducted to study the influence of sowing seasons and drying methods on the seed vigour of two spring soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars. Two cultivars, ‘Huachun18’ and ‘Huachun 14’, wer...
