Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is one of the most important factors in reducing yield and barley production in rainfed arid regions, and counteracting or reducing the effect of stresses as a useful solution to increase barley yield. Therefore, improvement of stress-tolerant and suitable barley cultivars for arid and semi-arid regions is essential. Material and Me...

In order to evaluate the effect of drought stress and nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels on yield, yield components and protein content of two barley cultivars (Yousef: six-rowed and Nimrouz: two-rowed), field experiments were conducted at the Fars Agricultural Research Center – Zarghan Station, during 2010-11 and 2011-12 growing seasons. The experiment was carried out as split-split plot based on ...

In order to investigation the effect of different organic fertilizers amounts (municipal compost, vermicompost and sewage sludge) on yield and yield components of different soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted in 2006 at Sari Higher Education Complex of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. A split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replication...

This research was carried out to study the grain yield, yield components and NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) responses of four wheat cultivars to growth retardant cycocel under terminal drought stress conditions. The experiment was laid out as a split split plot with three replicates at the experimental farm of the School of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran in 2016-201...

In order to study the effects of foliar spraying of Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria on quantitative characteristics, yield and yield components of two rice cultivars, a factorial experiment, based on completely randomized design with three replications, was conducted in Rice Research Institute of Rasht, Guilan province, Iran. In this experiment, two rice cultivars (Khazar and Hashemi) were spr...

Breeding and production of drought tolerant cultivars for arid and semi-arid area is very important. The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of drought stress on seed yield and yield components of oilseed rape as well as identification of high yielding and drought stress tolerant genotypes. Eighteen new winter oilseed rape lines and commercial cultivars were evaluated und...
