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...

to evaluate the agronomic characteristics in three brassica species (rape, indian mustard, and turnip) and to determine the best stress tolerance indices, 16 brassica cultivars were studied under controlled conditions in -0.6 mpa of stress and as well under field (either stressed or irrigated) conditions at the dryland agricultural research station, kermanshah during 2004-05. the results showed...

aimed at reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers on crop production and according to important role of micro-nutrients such as iron, on increase performance of these products, nanocomposites effect of iron on yield and yield components of wax bean genotypes inoculated with rhizobium bacteria during experimental factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was cond...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and growth of soybean (glycine max l.) an experiment as factorial in rcb design with three replications was conducted during 2006 and 2007 years at north khorasan. factors were cultivar (hobbit, l.w.k., and williams), and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg n/ha from urea source). results indicated that cultivar and n fertili...

lentil is considered as salinity sensitive species and is adversely affected in response to the salt stress in terms of growth and yield. this pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (sa) application on physiology, growth, yield and yield components of lentil grown under salt stress in greenhouse conditions, in a factorial arrangement based on randomized...

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...

Cowpea is an important grain legume of arid and semiarid regions of Asia and Africa. Productivity of cowpea is low and stagnant. Conventional breeding approaches aimed at improvement of yield per se have not been successful so far in breaking the yield barrier. Manipulation of physiological processes such as photosynthesis is expected to yield positive results. A land race ‘Goa local’ with a ve...

inheritance of yield and its contributing characters in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) was studied in a 8×8 diallel cross through griffing and jinks-hayman analyses. both general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) were highly significant for seed yield, seed weight and branches per plant, while only gca for seeds per pod and oil content and only sca for pods per plant an...
