rust diseases continue to cause significant losses to wheat production around the world. among them, yellow rust caused by puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is an important disease that threatens wheat production in most cool environments. host resistance, especially race- nonspecific resistance, is the most economical way to manage wheat stripe rust disease. in this study, the effectiveness ...

Stem rust along with foliar diseases is a harmful pathogen causing strong yield reduction worldwide. Resistant cultivars provide efficient way for wheat growers to avoid yield losses. In our study, 200 wheat cultivars registered in Hungary in the past twenty five years, were investigated using molecular markers. A significant part of the cultivars carried the 1BL.1RS translocation, the source o...

Fusarium head blight is one of the most important and most common diseases of winter wheat. In order to better understanding this disease and to assess the correlations between different factors, 30 cultivars of this cereal were evaluated in a two-year period. Fusarium head blight resistance was evaluated and the concentration of trichothecene mycotoxins was analysed. Grain samples originated f...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...

to evaluate the effect of various levels of nitrogen fertilizer on nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield of canola cultivars, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in 2007. factors were: nitrogen fertilizer at four levels (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha) in the main plots and canola cultivars at three levels (‘clover’, ‘opera’ and ‘okape’) in the sub plo...

Because of continuing increases in atmospheric CO2, identifying cultivars of crops with larger yield increases at elevated CO2 may provide an avenue to increase crop yield potential in future climates. Free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) systems have most often been used with multiple replications of each CO2 treatment in order to increase confidence in the effect of elevated CO2. For screening of c...

up to now, interactions between method and amount of nitrogen fertilizers application on plant density and variety of wheat under sprinkler irrigation systems have not been studied. thus, this research was conducted during two years in esfehan region with split factorial design. the treatments of this experiment were: three fertilizers application methods (conventional manual application at the...
