Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of water deficit tension on different growth stages on yield, yield components and produced grain quality of sorghum seeds cultivars,  an experiments was performed as split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in Isfahan Ghiam Cultivation and Cattle Farm Company in 2017. The main factor including irrigation cut at four levels (irrigation cut from the pollination stage onwards, irrigation cut from the milking stage onwards, irrigation cut from the paste stage onwards and normal irrigation (control)) and sub-factor including three cultivars of seed sorghum (Sepideh, Kimia and Payam). The results showed that plant height traits, panicle length, one-thousand grain weight, panicle weight, grain weight in panicle, grain yield, protein percentage, sugar, starch and seed fat were affected by irrigation cut at different stages of growth. There was also a significant difference between different cultivars based on height traits, number of claws per plant and length of panicle. The results of the mean comparison showed that water deficit tension reduced grain yield and in terms of water cut-off tension before pollination compared to control caused 63.95 percent of yield loss and in terms of irrigation cut in milking stage compared to control, 34.4 percent of yield loss. While by cutting off the water in the paste stage, the yield increased by 2.2 percent compared to the control. In general, the highest grain yield, one thousand grain weight and panicle weight were obtained in Kimia cultivar, which could represent a more tolerant cultivar to water deficit tension.

Effects of ethephon on growth and yield of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) at different growth stages

There is little information about the effects of ethephon ripening hormone on the yield of sweet sorghum in Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethephon hormone applied at different growth stages of three cultivars of sweet sorghum on its growth and yield. The experiment was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 at a research plot of the Faculty of Agricultural Te...

Effect of Irrigation Regimes on Yield, Yield Components and Seed Quality of Different Pinto Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Genotypes

Identification of drought-resistant genotypes is crucial in order to reduce the negative effects of drought, as one of the most important limiting factors of crop production in arid and semiarid regions. Thus, effects of three irrigation regimes (irrigation after 50 (I1), 100 (I2) and 150 (I3) mm evaporation from a class A pan), as the main plot were investigated. These effects were studied on ...
