in order to investigation of morphological traits, yield and its components in three cultivars of grain sorghum (kimia, sepideh, payam) and two promising lines (m5, m2) under four density (240000, 205000, 170000 and 135000 plant/m2), experiment was conducted as factorial design based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand agricultural research station, during 200...

Although the introduction of semi-dwarf trait into rice has led to improved lodging resistance making it capable of supporting high grain yield, lodging still remains a concern when attempting to further increase the grain yield of rice. However, improving the lodging resistance in rice by depending on the semi-dwarf trait alone is possible only up to a certain limit, beyond which other traits ...

In this paper we steer wheeled nonholonomic systems that can be represented in a so called chained form Su cient conditions for converting a multiple input system with nonholonomic velocity constraints into a multiple chain single generator chained form via state feedback and a coordinate transformation are presented along with sinusoidal and polynomial control algorithms to steer such systems ...

eight forage sorghum cultivars (sweet jumbo, nectar, chopper, pacific bmr, speed feed, kfs1, kfs2 and kfs3) were assessed to determine the most suitable traits carrying cultivar, through a randomized complete block design with four replications during 2003-2005. ammonium phosphate (basd on p2o5) was applied at 115 kg/ha and 183 kg/ha of nitrogen (urea-based) at four application times. six trait...

Cereals and grasses adapt their structural development to environmental conditions and the resources available. The primary adaptive response is a variable degree of branching, called tillering in cereals. Especially for heterogeneous plant configurations the degree of tillering varies per plant. Functional-structural plant modeling (FSPM) is a modeling approach allowing simulation of the archi...

Morphological and molecular characterization of twenty six landraces rice and four high yielding rice accessions were studied to observe genetic diversity assessment and identification of superior genotypes for crop improvement program. Fourteen morphological and twenty seven DNA based molecular markers, simple sequence repeat (SSR), were used extensively to carry out this study. A wide range o...

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...
