In this study, the effects of different pruning heights and number of branches left were evaluated to determine the most effective pruning height and optimum number of branches to be left after branch thinning to increase seed yield production of Jatropha curcas. The experiment, which was conducted at the MMSU Experimental Station from 2009-2011, was laid-out in Split plot design and was replic...

Plant biomass is an important parameter for crop management and yield estimation. However, since biomass cannot be determined non-destructively, other plant parameters are used for estimations. In this study, plant height and hyperspectral data were used for barley biomass estimations with bivariate and multivariate models. During three consecutive growing seasons a terrestrial laser scanner wa...

in order to evaluate the variation of some of quantitative and qualitative traits of different varieties of linseed under different plant densities, an experiment was conducted in the research station of the faculty of agriculture in shahrekord univerity in 2009. this experiment was arranged as factorial in rcbd design with three replications. four linseeds originated from australia, canada, fr...

A study was conducted at the National Agriculture Research Center, Islamabad during summer 2001 on 27 genotypes of soybean to determine the correlation and path analyses of yield and its components. Significant differences among genotypes for characters viz., leaf area, chlorophyll content, first pod height, days to 50% flowering, days to flowering completion, days to pod initiation, days to 50...

black saxaul (haloxylon aphyllum) is one of the best options for rehabilitating drought affected desert lands. the species is remarkably adapted to the central dry environment ofiran and a major source of raising pasture productivity of the areas. progenies of 25 randomly selected black saxaul trees from four populations of the species were studied in a randomized complete block design with thr...

good perception of relation-sheep among plant morphological traits and resistance to fusarium head blight of wheat is quite effective to make a good success in plant breeding project. in this experiment this relation has been checked out. the morphological traits were included plant height, peduncle length and spike density. we used 28 spring wheat genotypes and 2 durum genotypes. there was sig...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of garlic powder (gp) black seed (bs) and plant premix (gp and bs) in the diet on broiler growth performance and intestinal morphology. included 480 hubbard broiler chicks(day-old). there were 4 treatment groups each consisting of 3 replicates. the four dietary treatments consisted of a control (basal diet), basal diet +0.5% gp, basal diet +0....

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a crucial component of plant nutrition, and its deficiency limits productivity of crops more than any other element. To manage the sorghum crop for achievement of maximum forage production, the farmer should be concerned about nitrogen requirement and plant height. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to evaluate response of m...
