in order to study the effect of n fertilizer rates on morphological traits, yield and yield components of rice cultivars, a study was carried out in rice research institute of rasht, iran during 2009. it was a two-variable factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the first factor was nitrogen fertilization at four rates of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg n h...

This study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of Faba bean. To this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in Behbahan region at South eastern part of Khuzestan Province of Iran. The experimental treatments included Ni...

the objectives of the present study were to evaluate spring wheat recombinant inbred lines (rils) of diverse origin by estimating genetic parameters viz., variability, character association, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis (pca) for spot blotch resistance and yield components at bhu agricultural research farm during 2010-2011. grain yield per plot was significantly and positi...

the evaluation of gene bank germplasm collection for morpho-physiological traits is important in the breeding programs. although phenotypic variation was considered, it is likely that this phenotypic variation is largely genetic and therefore directly useable for breeders, especially for those traits with high heritability such as heading and maturity time, plant height, kernel number and weigh...

more nitrogen use efficiency in crops is important for maintaining and developing sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effect of different levels of mushroom compost and different resource of nitrogen on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, durin...

drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that affect yield of bread wheat strongly. considering that the yield achieved with the interaction of a large number of plant traits and environment, so the morphological and agronomical traits, can serve as selection criteria under environmental conditions. by genetic analysis and estimation of inheritance and mode of gene act...

A linear equation of regression was used for establishment of the influence of quantitative characteristics on the grain productivity in forage pea and for development of a model for breeding work. The model for pea plant with high productivity was characterized by average height of 60–70 cm, 8–10 formed pods, 30–40 seeds per plant and 160–260 g in regard to 1000-seed weight. The obtained resul...
