Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. In addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. In order to screen drought tolerant genotype in Chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated...

in order to study the effect of sowing dates and cultivation methods on yield and other characteristics of two cultivars of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) an experiment based on split plot design was carried out with three replications in 2007 at khorramdarreh region of zanjan province. treatments consisted of three sowing dates (may 21, june 4&19), two cultivation methods (furrow and basi...

Identifying key yield components can help establish better crop management strategies to increase crop yield. The present research was conducted in south-western Saskatchewan in 1999 and 2000 to determine the interrelationships among various yield components and their direct and indirect effects of each component on seed yield of field pea (Pisum sativum L.). The semi-leafless cultivar Carrera ...

A pot experiment was conducted at a net house of the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, in the ‘rabi’ season of October, 2009 to March, 2010 to evaluate the effects of gibberellic acid (GA) on growth, physio-biochemical, yield and quality parameters of chickpea cultivar DCP 92-3. Surface sterilized seeds of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were soaked in four concentrations viz., 0,1...

to study the effects of plant density and nitrogen rates on the ability of canola (regent  cobra; an inbred variety) to compete with weeds, an experiment was conducted as a factorial complete block design with four replications. the treatments included four levels of plant density at 150, 190, 230, and 270 plants m-2, and four levels of nitrogen (n) fertil-izer at 0, 46, 92, and 138 kg ha–1. r...

In this study, the yield and yield components were studied using a conventional variety Zhongshuang 11 (ZS 11) and a hybrid variety Zhongyouza 12 (ZYZ 12) at varying plant densities. The increase in plant density led to an initial increase in seed yield and pod numbers per unit area, followed by a decrease. The optimal plant density was 58.5 × 104 plants ha-1 in both ZS 11 and ZYZ 12. The furth...

in order to evaluate a better sowing date of chickpea cultivars in dry land conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research station of bahar (hamadan province) during 2005-2006 cropping season. two planting time included winter and spring and four chickpea cultivars (cvs.) including one local (check) and three improved cv...
