in order to study physiological characteristics of rainfed bread wheat genotypes, an experiment was conducted with 20 genotypes in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications under rainfed and supplementary irrigation conditions. this experiment was carried out at the dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in maragheh during 2007-2008. to determine growth indices, sampling wa...

Greater precipitation use efficiency (PUE) and economic returns by increasing cropping frequency through the addition of summer crops to the dryland winter wheat-fallow (WF) cropping system have been reported in the semiarid Central Great Plains of USA. However, due to the highly variable nature of precipitation and uncertain water availability, selection of a crop with assured positive net ret...

the objective of this study was to determine the quicker response of subsoil or surface soil to minimum tillage (mt) and conventional tillage (ct) and biofertilizers (bacillus coagulans, b), phosphorus fertilization (p) and integrated p and b (pb) under the wheat (triticum aestivum l vr. sardari) growing season. the experimental design was split plot laid out in randomized complete block design...

in order to study of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes, this study was conducted in maragheh dryland agricultural research station. the study included two experiments and the statistical design of each experiment was a rcbd with four replications, and 20 bread wheat genotypes that were compared under drought stress (rainfed) and supplementary irrigation. analysis of simple variance sup...

Analyses of covariance were used to relate corn yields to population densities of Pratylenchus hexincisus in South Dakota dryland corn or P. scribneri in irrigated corn. The relationship for P. hexincisus was Y = 5,825 - 0.14X - 0.03X' where Y = yield (kg/ha), X = number of P. hexincisus per gram of dry root at midseason and X' = number at harvest. The relationship for P. scribneri was best des...

Flaxleaf fleabane is a difficult-to-control weed in dryland minimum tillage farming systems in the northeast grains region of Australia. Experiments were conducted between 2003 and 2005 to identify effective control strategies on flaxleaf fleabane in wheat and sorghum. A preplant application of chlorsulfuron at 15 g ai/ha in wheat controlled flaxleaf fleabane $ 90%. The efficacy of early postem...
