This study was aimed to provide understanding on the eco-physiological response of barley tillers as affected by sowing method. Yield and yield contribution rates of tillers were investigated with the data of field experiments in the Honam Crops Experiment Station of Iri, Korea from October 1986 to July 1987. Narrow-seeding (each row placement 40cm$\times$seeding width of each row 18cm), drill-seeding (20cm$\times$5cm) and broadcasting on wide ridge (each ridge placement 120cm$\times$ridge width 90cm) were applied to examine the effects of various sowing methods. Primary tillers such as mainstem, 1 and 2 produced ears in all treatments, but the ear from a secondary tiller of 11 was observed only in broadcasting on wide ridge. Drill-seeding was the highest in number of spikelet, grain and plump grain per ear, while narrow-seeding being the lowest. The plump grain yield per square meter was 679.8g in narrow-seeding, while drill-seeding and broadcasting produced more than narrow seeding by 28.7% and 16.8% respectively. The actual yields per l0a for sowing methods showed a similar pattern to plump grain yield per square meter in which the yield was 567.6kg by narrow-seeding and the increments of drill-seeding and broadcasting were 30.6% and 15.4%, respectively.

The goal of this study was to examine the growth and yield according to planting density in wide-row drill seeding cultivation suitable for mechanized harvesting. We evaluated effects depending on planting densities [row spacing (30, 40, 50, and 60 cm) and plant spacing (10, 15, and 20 cm)] and cultivars ('Hongeon' and 'Arari') on growth and yield of Adzuki Beans (Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi Ohashi). When row spacing decreased, the stem length increased in 'Arari' but decreased in 'Hongeon.' The stem diameter and number of branches in both the cultivars decreased with a decrease in row spacing. The pod height increased with lower planting densities. The greatest height values recorded in 'Hongeon' and 'Arari' were 5.0 cm and 8.8 cm in $30{\times}10cm$ and $50{\times}10cm$ treatments, respectively. The number of pods and number of seeds in both cultivars tended to increase with a decrease in planting density. On the other hand, in 100-seed weight, there was a difference in planting density in 'Hongeon', but no difference in 'Arari'. The highest yield was at the planting density of $40{\times}15cm$ in both 'Hongeon' and 'Arari', $285kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$ and $374kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$.

The goal of this study was to investigate how the characteristics of growth and yield are affected by various planting densities in wide-row drill seeding cultivation suitable for mechanized harvesting. Two cultivars ('Hwanggeum' and 'Leebackchal') of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) were planted at varying planting densities [row spacing (20, 30, and 50 cm) and plant spacing (3, 5, 10, and 15 cm)]. The culm length was highest at the planting density of $50{\times}3cm$ and $50{\times}5cm$ for 'Hwanggeum' and $20{\times}3cm$ for 'Leebackchal'. The culm diameter became thinner as the planting density increased. The number of tillering and panicle length showed the same tendency to increase in quantity or length as planting density decreased and was highest at $50{\times}15cm$ when the planting density was lowest. The number of seeds per individual increased as planting density decreased. The thousand grain weight showed no significant differences among treatment plots. The greatest yield of 'Hwanggeum' was obtained at a planting density of $50{\times}3cm$ ($314.9kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$) and that of 'Leebackchal' was obtained at $50{\times}3cm$ and $50{\times}5cm$ ($358-356kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$).
