TL;DR: The proportion of the legume in the harvested material was much lower than expected from the seed ratios and Digestibility and crude protein content were highest in the mixtures of triticale and peas.
Abstract: Two small-grained cereals, Mulga oats and a triticale line, and two legumes, local vetch and local peas, were grown in pure stands and in mixtures at various cereal: legume seed ratios (20:80, 40:60, 60:40 and 80:20) for three successive cropping years, 1981/82 to 1983/84, at Laxia and Dromolaxia, Cyprus, in each year.The cereal pure stands produced, on average, more dry matter, 8·40 t/ha, and more digestible organic matter, 4·12 t/ha, than the legume pure stands, 3·68 and 2·18 t/ha, respectively. On average, total dry matter production decreased linearly as the seed proportion of the legume component in the mixture increased. The proportion of the legume in the harvested material was much lower than expected from the seed ratios. The highest proportion of legume was seen in the mixtures of peas with triticale and ranged from 8·1 to 35·5% at the various sowing rates. Digestibility and crude protein content were highest in the mixtures of triticale and peas.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to ascertain a suitable planting time and seed treatment for wheat, and different planting times included November 15, November 30, and December 15, and the seed treatments were comprised of un-soaked, water soaked and 1% NaHCO3 soaked seed.
Abstract: The study was conducted to ascertain a suitable planting time and seed treatment for wheat. Different planting times included November 15, November 30 and December 15. The seed treatments were comprised of un-soaked, water soaked and 1% NaHCO3 soaked seed. The water soaked and 1% NaHCO3 seed treatments produced higher yield of 4.618 t per ha and maximum average grain yield of 5.09 t per ha was produced by sowing of wheat on November 15. Water soaked seeds sowing at November 15 was superior in all respect.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that increasing the rate of soil applied K up to 90 kg P ha−1 in two equal splits (50% each at sowing and knee height) improve growth and maize productivity under semiarid climates.
Abstract: Potassium (K) fertilizer management is beneficial for improving growth, yield and yield components of field crops under moisture stress condition in semiarid climates. Field experiments were conducted to study the response of maize (Zea mays L., cv. Azam) to foliar and soil applied K during summer 2013 and 2014. The experiments were carried out at the Agronomy Research Farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar, Northwest Pakistan under limited irrigation (moisture stress) condition. It was concluded from the results that application of foliar K at the rate of 1–3% and foliar Zn at the rate of 0.1–0.2% was more beneficial in terms of better growth, higher yield and yield components of maize under moisture stress condition. Early spray (vegetative stage) resulted in better growth and higher yield than late spray (reproductive stage). Soil K treated plots (rest) plots performed better than control (K not applied) in terms of improved growth, higher yield and yield components of maize crop. The results further demonstrated that increasing the rate of soil applied K up to 90 kg P ha−1 in two equal splits (50% each at sowing and knee height) improve growth and maize productivity under semiarid climates.

TL;DR: In this paper, an example is described of how field experiments and surveys were used to define 'threshold' values of seed-borne Cucumber mosaic virus infection in an annual crop and two such examples are given for pasture species.
