In particular, a decline in pollinator visitation at low density can cause an Allee effect (a positive relation (e.g., Kunin 1997a; Ghazoul 2005; Dauber et al. 2010). of fitness to density) in the plant population, which heightens that Although other mechanisms, such as changes in inbreed- population’s vulnerability to extinction.

In a field experiment, floral (e.g., Campbell and Motten 1985; Kunin 1993, 1997b; Tot- density of Holocarpha virgata ssp. virgata had a nonlinear effect on per-flower visitation that was largely consistent with the model’s land and Matthews 1998; Feldman 2006; Bernhardt et al. predictions.

Some explanations offered explaining an important facet of plant-pollinator mutualisms. for this variation are that density effects depend on the presence or absence of other flowering species (Kunin Keywords: pollination, mutualism, Allee effects, density, ideal free distribution. 1993; Feldman 2008), the spatial scale over which the re- lation is observed (Dauber et al. 2010), or the range of densities considered (Rathcke 1983).

In an experiment which was designed in factorial on the basis of completely randomized block design with 3 replicates in 36 plots. The effects of plant density (20, 40, 60 and 80 plants/m 2- factor A) and sowing date (April 19 and 29, and May 10, 2010- factor B) were evaluated on the growth, flowering and essential oil of C. officinalis L. Studies were carried out on experimental field in Islamic Azad University, Rasht, Iran. Investigated characteristics were: plant dry weight, flower number/plant, branch number/plant, flower dry weight, flower yield/area unit, and quantity of essential oil. Maximum of plant dry weight (35.67 g), flower number/plant (25.88), branch number/plant (9.44), flower dry weight (3.72 g), and amount of essential oil/100 g dried flower (0.16 ml) were obtained at the 20 plants/m 2, while maximum of flower dry weight (132.07 g), and amount of essential oil (0.19 ml), both per area unit were obtained at the 60 plants/m2.

  • The Impact of Plant Density and Spatial Arrangement on Light Interception on Cotton Crop and Seed Cotton Yield: an Overview
    CHAPEPA et al. Journal of Cotton Research (2020) 3:18 Journal of Cotton Research https://doi.org/10.1186/s42397-020-00059-z REVIEW Open Access The impact of plant density and spatial arrangement on light interception on cotton crop and seed cotton yield: an overview CHAPEPA Blessing1*, MUDADA Nhamo2 and MAPURANGA Rangarirai3 Abstract Light attenuation within a row of crops such as cotton is influenced by canopy architecture, which is defined by size, shape and orientation of shoot components. Level of light interception causes an array of morpho-anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes. Physiological determinants of growth include light interception, light use efficiency, dry matter accumulation, duration of growth and dry matter partitioning. Maximum light utilization in cotton production can be attained by adopting cultural practices that yields optimum plant populations as they affect canopy arrangement by modifying the plant canopy components. This paper highlights the extent to which spatial arrangement and density affect light interception in cotton crops. The cotton crop branches tend to grow into the inter-row space to avoid shade. The modification of canopy components suggests a shade avoidance and competition for light. Maximum leaf area index is obtained especially at flowering stage with higher populations which depicts better yields in cotton production. Keywords: Light interception, Plant populations, Spatial arrangement, Canopy architecture Introduction Bai et al. (2016), the extent and pattern of attenuation Plants contain the green pigment chlorophyll and they are determined by the architecture of the canopy and require light energy from the sun to photosynthesize cotton with columnar-type canopies exhibits an open and to grow.

  • Seed Dispersal in Corn Crops Under Mediterranean Conditions Judit Barroso, Dionisio Andu´Jar, Carolina San Martı´N, Ce´Sar Ferna´Ndez-Quintanilla, and Jose´ Dorado*
    Weed Science 2012 60:34–41 Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) Seed Dispersal in Corn Crops under Mediterranean Conditions Judit Barroso, Dionisio Andu´jar, Carolina San Martı´n, Ce´sar Ferna´ndez-Quintanilla, and Jose´ Dorado* Natural dissemination of johnsongrass seeds as well as the effect of combine harvesting on this process were studied in corn fields. The estimation of natural dispersal was carried out by two different methods, collecting seeds throughout the season using seed traps and sampling soil–surface seed abundance before harvest using a vacuum device. Both methods showed the same dispersal pattern. A minimum of 84.6% was dispersed in the first 2 m from the focus and a maximum of 1.6% was dispersed beyond the first 5 m. An average of 76.3% of these dispersed seeds were lost or buried after shedding but before harvest. Seed dispersal by the combine harvester was estimated from the difference between soil–surface seed abundance in the same sites pre and postharvest. Although the quantity of seeds dispersed by the combine was similar to those dispersed by natural factors, dispersal distances were significantly higher. Around 90% of the dispersed seeds were found in the first 5 m forward and backward of the combine direction from the infestation source, and 1.6% of the seeds were found beyond 22 m forward and 10 m backward of the combine direction from the infestation source. A large proportion of the seeds dispersed were dormant or not viable. It is concluded that the major role of sexual reproduction in johnsongrass population dynamics may be to spread the risks, promoting dispersal in time and space.

Twenty-nine of the occurrences were documented within the last 10 years. Seven of the occurrences have not been observed for over 60 years, but all the other occurrences are believed to be extant (California Natural Diversity Database 2005). Most of the occurrences are of high precision and may be accurately located, including those within the inventory area. Very little ecological information is available for big tarplant. The published literature on the species pertains primarily to its taxonomy. The main sources of general information on this species are the Jepson Manual (Hickman 1993) and the California Native Plant Society (2005). Specific observations on habitat and plant associates, threats, and other factors are summarized in the California Natural Diversity Database (2005). Range Big tarplant is endemic to the Mount Diablo foothills and is found primarily in eastern Contra Costa, eastern Alameda, and western San Joaquin Counties (Hoover 1937). Occurrences within the ECCC HCP/NCCP Inventory Area In the inventory area, big tarplant is known from 4 occurrences on Cowell Ranch, west of Brentwood, 7 occurrences on Roddy Ranch, south of Antioch, and one occurrence in Mount Diablo State Park, southeast of Clayton (California Natural Diversity Database 2005, Lake 2004).
