Drought is considered as the most important constraint to world’s crop production. Furthermore arid and semiarid climate accounts for nearly most of terrestrial areas of Iran. Therefore in order to study the effect of irrigation regimes on growth, physiological attributes and grain yield as well as components of such a crop plant as safflower a 4-replicate split plot RCBD field study was perfor...

In order to study the effect of on-farm seed priming using tap water and zinc sulfate solution with 0.03% zinc on yield and yield components of two intermediate maturing maize cultivars, a factorial experiment was carried out in complete randomized block design with three replications in Research Farm of Bu Ali University, Hamedan, Iran in 2011. Seed priming consisted of three levels (priming w...

Application of organic manure in organic farming and long-term mineralization may lead to residual effects on the succeeding crop. So, residual effects of combined cattle manure and urea fertilizer of previous crop (black cumin) on growth and yield of pea were examined in a randomized complete block design. Treatments included of  cattle manure (CM), urea (U), three ratios of CM+U full dose app...

In areas with high rainfall distribution, proper irrigation management, including complementary irrigation, is one of the effective strategies to increase crop production. In order to investigate the effect of supplementary irrigation in different growth stages on the yield and water productivity of Autumn rapeseed, an experiment in the form of a complete randomized block design with five irrig...

Unsuitable planting and weed competition are the most important factors that greatly reduce the yield of bean. In order to study the effect of planting date on yield and yield components of three white bean cultivars in weed infest and weed free condition a factorial experiment with randomized complete block design and three replications was carried out at Semirom in 2009. The treatments were p...

Genetic variation of 300 genotypes of durum wheat comprising CIMMYT/ICARDA and Iranian germplasm was evaluated in 1999-2000 at Researh Farm of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology located at Lavark, NaJaf-Abad. Days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grain weight per spike, number of grain per spike, number of spikes per m2, 1000-grain weight, test wei...
