given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of tarbiat modares university during 2007 growing season. experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. in this research, sow...

to determine the most suitable sowing date for rapeseed cultivars this study was carried out in busheshr agriculture research center, borazjan in 1997-1998 cropping season using a strip plot design with four replications. rapeseed cultivars were: global, regent, tower, pf7045/91, pf5045/88 and maluka which were sown on four different dates with fifteen days interval (oct.20, nov.5, no. 20 and d...

The sensitivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] main stem node accrual to ambient temperature has been documented in greenhousegrown plants but not with fi eld-grown plants in the north-central United States. Biweekly V-node and R-stage, stem node number, internode length, and other traits were quantifi ed in an irrigated split-plot, four-replicate, randomized complete block experiment cond...

introduction between oil seeds, from the quality, quantity and nutrition index point of view, canola has the top level . because of the solubility of n fertilizers, the time of urea application, is very important and one of the main reasons of the reduction in n application efficiency is utilization of urea in an inappropriate time. by precisely foliar application of nitrogen, the efficiency of...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous application of salicylic acid concentrations on the physiological and biochemical traits and essential oil content of chamomile under normal and heat stress conditions as induced by delayed sowing. The experiments were conducted during 2011–2012 as a factorial using a randomized complete block design with three replications,...

Dynamic process-based crop simulation models are useful tool in predicting crop growth and yield in response to environmental and cultural factors but are constrained by lack of availability of the required large number of inputs when applied for regional studies. In this study we report (a) development of a prototype Crop Growth Monitoring System (CGMS) for wheat using WTGROWS simulation model...

introduction the study of growth parameters such as net assimilation rate (nar), leaf area ratio (lar), relative growth rate (rgr) and leaf area duration (lad) are important for analyzing yield constraints. the growth parameters can be used to understand the crop response to environmental variables during the growing season. the aims of the present study were to 1) consider the growth indices u...
