research on crop response to deficit irrigation is important to reduce agriculture water use in areas where water is limited resource. using drought resistant landraces with irrigation scheduling based on phenological stages in semi-arid and arid regions may provide an opportunity to optimize irrigation efficiency and water savings in these regions. in order to evaluate of yield and yield compo...

in order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and plant density on the morphological triats, yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays l. var sc. 403) an experiment was conducted at the khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, mashhad, iran during 2008. this experiment was carried out as split plot based on rcbd with four replications. the sowing date (14th ...

in order to evaluate the relationship between morphological characters in rice lines two populations at f3 generation were grown in research field of agricultural sciences and natural resource university, sari, iran, during 2012. statistical analysis on important agronomic traits showed that maximum standard deviation belonged to total grain number followed by filled grains per panicle and grai...

drought is one on the most important factors limiting the productivity of spring chickpea in drylands of iran. sixtym genotypes of chickpea from icarda's germplasm accessions, as well as one drought susceptible check (ilc 3279), were sown in spring of 2010 at two locations, sanandaj and maragheh, in the western highlands of iran for one year. the experiment in each location was laid out in a ra...

Plant growth regulators play important roles in plant growth and development, but little is known about the roles of plant growth regulators in manifestation yield components, yield and seed qualities of soybean. An attempt has been made to elaborate the subject with emphasis on important plant growth regulators viz. auxins, cytokinins, Gibberellins and abscisic acid and others. Some environmen...

salinity of water and soil in arid and semi arid regions restricts the growth and yield of crops such as sesame. in order to evaluate yield and yield components of 43 lines and ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under saline condition (ec of irrigation water, 5.2 ds m-1) an experiment was carried out in randomize complete block design with three replications at salinity research station of...

objective: taro (colocasia esculenta l. schott) is a perennial root crop that belongs to araceace family.  it is widely cultivated as a staple food in africa, asia and pacific islands. despite its importance, there is limited information on many aspects of the crop. in order to obtain data that can support improved and sustainable taro production, a field trial was conducted to study the effect...
