SIMULATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECT ON RICE (Oryza sativa L.) PRODUCTION IN KANO RIVER IRRIGATION SCHEME (KRIS) USING APSIM MODEL

Correlation Studies in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Seventy genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated during Kharif 2012 to study the nature and extent of correlation among yield and yield attributing characters, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of effective tillers per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant, kernel length, kernel breadth and L/B...

THE ROLE OF IRRIGATION TECHNIQUES IN Cd BIOACCUMULATION IN RICE (Oryza sativa L.)

Simulation of rice production under climate change scenarios in the Southern coasts of Caspian Sea

Climate change has direct and indirect consequences on crop production and food security. Agriculture and cropproduction is one of the factors which depend on the weather conditions and it provides the human requirements inmany aspects. The objective of this study is to assess the impacts of future climatic change on irrigated rice yieldusing the CERES-Rice model in the Southern Coast of Caspia...

Hierarchical additive effects on heterosis in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Exploitation of heterosis in crops has contributed greatly to improvement in global food and energy production. In spite of the pervasive importance of heterosis, a complete understanding of its mechanisms has remained elusive. In this study, a small test-crossed rice population was constructed to investigate the formation mechanism of heterosis for 13 traits. The results of the relative mid-pa...

Evaluation of Some Morphophysiological Traits and Growth Indices of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Irrigation Methods

In order to investigate the analysis of growth indices and morphophysiological traits of rice, an experiment in the form of statistical split plots design with three levels of irrigation and six foliar application with three replications was conducted at Deputy of Rice Research Institute (Mazandaran- Amol) in 2017. By measuring the total dry weight and leaf area six times during rice growth, th...
