This research was conducted in order to determine the relationship between grain yield and yield components, using 30 common bean varieties in a randomized complete block design with four replications at the Agricultural filed faculty of Agriculture,Tehran university In this study 18 traits were assessed on 10 random plants from each plot. The result showed that there were significant differe...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), an oilseed crop, is widely adapted and grown in many regions of the world. Oil from regular flaxseed is used as an industrial drying oil because of the high level of linolenic acid (>50 %). However, the oils from new mutant genotypes of flax with a very low linolenic acid concentration (<2 %) are edible. Yellow seed colour can be used as a visual marker to disting...

In order to evaluate the effect of water stress on sunflower cultivars of Iroflor in different stages of growth and methods of biophosphate consumption, a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Water deficit stress in four levels including control (non-stress), stress in vegetative stage, stress in reproduction stage and stress in both v...

Considering the importance of organic fertilizers application and the necessity of minimizing the use of inorganic fertilizers, this experiment was conducted in order to study the possibility of replacing vermicompost and poultry manure instead of chemical fertilizers in the production of two improved chickpea cultivars under dryland conditions. The experiment was laid out in a factorial arrang...

In order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizers and nitrogen application on oil,  yield and its components in spring rapeseed Var "Hayola 401", a field experiment was carried out by a split plot design based on a randomized complete block design with 4 replications, in Agricultural Research Station ( Dr. Nakhjavani) of Urumia during 2007- 2008. The main plot included of three levels of nitro...

A major source of photoassimilates deposited into the seeds is the closest photosynthetic source to the latter sinks. While the contribution made to grain yield by floral parts and the adjacent photosynthetic surfaces has been determined for a number of crop plants, such information lacks regarding safflower. Thus the present study was aimed at estimating the contribution of photosynthesis of s...
