to study the effect of sowing date and a single irrigation (si) on yield and yield components of barley, a field experiment was conducted in dryland agricultural research institute (maragheh, iran) in 2004-06 cropping seasons, using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plots were assigned to 3 levels of sowing date (early, normal and late). sub-plot...

improve forage quantity and quality using organic and biological fertilizers production of important needs in dryland farming systems of the country. in this study the effects of foliar application of four different combinations of amino acid four different time steps were germinated plant growth, stem elongation, flowering and spraying all three steps above with the control treatment was carri...

this study was conducted to determine grain yield stability of rainfed promising barley genotypes across six rainfed research stations (maragheh, sararood, uromieh, qamloo, zanjan and ardabil) under cold and semi-cold conditions during three cropping seasons (2006-2009) in iran. the studied genotypes were 10 promising barley lines along with two checks (one local and one newly released variety,...

in order to compare the performance of different weed mangement methods in spring and waiting planting of rainfed chickpea this experiment was carrid out as split plot in randomized complete block design with four replications at maragheh agricaltural research station during 2004–2005 crop season. the main factors were planting ِdates including the waiting and spring planting. sub plots were wee...

the main purpose of rainfed farming is increasing the water productivity by applying suitable agricultural management including single irrigation (si) and panting time for wheat varieties. in order to study the si optimization and determination its optimal program, a field experiment was conducted as split-split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for differ...

drought, high and low tempratures are the most important abiotic stresses in chickpea cultivation. improving plant root characteristics (root length and root volume) is one of the ways to increase drought tolerance in chickpea. mycorrhizal symbiosis increases drought resistance of host plants through different mechanisms. to study the effects of water stress and mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on...

Six varieties of durum wheat were included in a full diallel mating design during 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 cropping seasons in the farm of Maragheh Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Iran. Parental durum wheat genotypes and their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design with two replications in the growing seasons of 2005-06. The highest values of ...
