to introduce a new rice cultivar with high grain yield and desirable cooking characteristics for the warm regions of kohgilouyeh-ve-boyrahmad province, 203 lines of rice originated form irri breeding program were evaluated in preliminary and advanced yield trials from 1993 to 2000 in choram agricultural research station. in each year, data were recorded from different agronomical and morpho-phy...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

thrips tabaci is one of the most important pests causing serioues damages on onion s in iran despite several chemical sprayings. to assess the population density and damage of the thips on onion, improved sefid-e-khomein genotype along with seven other iranian cultivars of onoin were planted in a rcb design with four replications in two separate experiments (sprayed and non-spray ed ) in arak f...

the study was conducted during 2002- 2007 in the first and last stage of a four-year rotation (sugar beet, forage maize, onion, wheat and sugar beet) at research station of irrigation and drainage rudasht. in each year, four treatments of organic fertilizers (25 and 50 t/ha urban compost and 15 and 30 t/ha sewage sludge) with a control (no organic fertilizer) were studied in a randomized comple...

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of a Pseudomonas fluorescens-based biofertilizer on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam) yield. The application by immersion cuttings before sowing for 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes with combination doses 50 100% NPK mineral fertilizer in randomized block design three replications (12 treatments-combinations). During harvest (130 days after plant...

Thymine intermediate 17 has been synthesized on a multigram scale (50 g, 70 mmol) from starting sugar 1 in 15 steps in an overall yield of 73%, with only 5 purification steps. The key thymine intermediate 18 was obtained from 17 in a single step in 96% yield, whereas the key 5-methylcytosine intermediate 20 was obtained from 17 in 2 steps in 58% yield. This highly efficient large scale route ne...

In a 3-year experiment (2002-2004), five N rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg N ha-1) were applied to sugar beets arranged in a Randomized Complete Block design with six replications. Experimentation took place under the semi-arid, irrigated conditions of central Greece. The aim of this work was to study the late season response of sugar beet crop to N fertilization as assessed by non-destructive m...
