in order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and plant density on the morphological triats, yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays l. var sc. 403) an experiment was conducted at the khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, mashhad, iran during 2008. this experiment was carried out as split plot based on rcbd with four replications. the sowing date (14th ...

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a native crop of asia which is grown worldwide including iran.in this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.the experimental design was split plot with rcbd replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 january,4 february,and 5 march) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

abstract persian shallot (moseer) belongs to alliaceae family, is a perennial medicinal and industrial edible alliums in iran. very little information is available about different aspects of this species particularly on its agronomical production. in order to determine optimum sowing date and plant density in persian shallot, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on complete randomize...

The uniformity of wheat seed emergence is an important characteristic used to evaluate cultivars, cultivation mode and field management. Currently, researchers typically investigated the uniformity of seed emergence by manual measurement, a time-consuming and laborious process. This study employed field RGB images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to obtain information related to the uniform...

in order to study the yield and growth indices of spring safflower as double cropping, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at the research farm of faculty of agriculture, yasouj university, iran. the experiment was a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. factors included of combination of four sowing dates (may 16, june1, june 16 and july 2) and four cul...

The occurrence dates of crop phenological events are closely related to the timing agronomic management and therefore key information for agricultural monitoring forecasting as well climate change impact assessment adaptation planning. However, sowing harvesting only variables available in current global datasets. Here, we present 0.5° grid dataset phenology 2000 (the average 1996-2005), called...

The results of recent trials for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have influenced farming practice in the UK by encouraging the use of lower seed rates. Spink et al. (2000) have demonstrated that, particularly if sown early, wheat can compensate for reduced plant populations by increased tiller production. Results from seed-rate trials are usually analysed separately for each environment or ...
