mulches often use for weed control, hold soil moisture, decrease soil temperature, soil fertility, soil conservation, soil against rain and soil quality in organic farming. a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different wheat residue and sunflower densities on sunflower growth and yield during 2007 growing season at the research field of birjand university. the experimenta...

to determine the yield stability, adaptability and analysis of the genotype× environment interaction of virginia tobacco, 15 hybrids of tobacco including 10 iranian and 5 international hybrids were evaluated in two different experiments (water stress and normal irrigation) using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at two locations including rasht and tirtash tobacc...

to achieve optimal yield and high production in wheat, need to adapt the plant's vegetative and reproductive growth stages to environmental conditions and increase use efficiency of production factors by desirable density. in order to study the effect of plant density on extinction coefficient and radiation use in modern and old wheat (triticum aestivum l.) genotypes, an experiment was conducte...

although water deficiency has been seriously taken up as a subject in reducing crop production in arid and semi–arid areas, nevertheless little information has been published regarding its effects on seed quality. to evaluate the effects of irrigation regimes (full irrigation (control), irrigation until flowering stage, irrigation until doughing stage and irrigation until eight-leaf stage) on g...

in order to compare the precision of predictions of nrc (2001) and cncps models, 17 holstein fresh cows were assigned in a randomized complete block design to a balanced diet with nrc (2001) and cncps software. the predicted dmi, energy allowable milk and protein allowable milk by both models were compared with observed values. the precision of the predictions of models was evaluated by calcula...

for different agronomic traits in sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) inbred lines were estimated using “line × tester” analysis method. six new restorer lines were crossed with four cms lines as tester in 2006 growing season. the 24 f1 single cross combinations were planted in complete randomized block design with four replications in khoy field research station in 2007 growing season. there were...

The main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (SOM) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients. The effect of different amounts of nano iron oxide powder and urban solidwaste compost coated sulfur (USWCS) on the chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil was investigated. The experimentwas conducted using a randomized complete block des...

quantitative and qualitative characteristics and storability of behbahan landrace, selected population from behbahan landrace and primavera cultivar were compared for two years (2009-2010) at behbahan agriculture research station. field experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design containing four replications. seedlings were transplanted in mid-december. a split plot in ti...
