to evaluate the effect of biofertilizers on yield and yield components of a soybean cultivar (m9) under water stress condition, a study was carried out in a split plot randomized complete block design with three replications at research station of bu ali sina university in 2012. the main plots included three levels of irrigation after 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from a pan and subplots inclu...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgar is L.) demand is increasing with an alarming rate around the world, especially in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Therefore, increased bean yield per hectare i.s the best way to meet the world demand rather than expansion of area under cultivation. The objectives of this experiment were to determine the genotypic variations for green bean and dry seed yield and ma...

Broad bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important crop worldwide. An increase in seed yield would increase both the grain reserve and the profit for farmers. Previous studies on increasing broad bean seed yield have focused mainly on increases at the whole population level. Few studies have focused on the differences in plant type within populations. In this study, we classified broad bean plants into...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...

In order to study seed yield and seed yield components in bean under reduced irrigation condition and assessment drought tolerance of genotypes, 15 lines of White beans were evaluated in two separate RCB design with 3 replications under stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties in terms of traits under study, indicating...

long season and high temperature during spring in hot and dry areas has led to tendency for autumn planting. in order to evaluation of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) autumn planting possibility, a field experiment was done at the agricultural faculty and natural resources of saravan research field in 2010. experimental design was done as split plots based on randomized complete block design with...

there are varying patterns for growing different varieties of branched or non-branched sesame. this experiment was conducted during a two-year period (2000-2001) to identify the optimal practice for cultivation of the uni-branched sesame in the safi-abad agricultural research center, khuzestan province. the statistical design was set up as strip-plot in a randomized complete block with four rep...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

In soybean, long days during post-flowering increase seed number. This positive photoperiodic effect on seed number has been previously associated with increments in the amount of radiation accumulated during the crop cycle because long days extend the duration of the crop cycle. However, evidence of intra-nodal processes independent of the availability of assimilates suggests that photoperiodi...
