Breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. To assess the efficiency of different selection method, 83 exotic along with 17 Iranian safflower genotypes were evaluated at the research farm of Isfahan University of Technology using 10×10 simple lattice design with three replications in 2011. In this study, the selection indices of Smith-H...

drought is transient phenomenon , slow , repetitive and integral part of the climate of each region. drought begins with a substantial reduction in precipitation over the long-term average rainfall and over time, reduced soil moisture and surface and ground water resources will continue to decrease. this phenomenon is the most important in bakhtegan basin because of its importance in strategic ...

Today, seaweed biofertilizers are widely used in the world to increase plant growth and yield. In order to study the effect of red seaweed on growth and physiological traits of squiring cucumber, this research was conducted in split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2019. Experimental treatments consisted of three squirting cucumber genus ...

Licorice root pulp is an organic waste which may be used as a growth medium in soilless culture. A research was conducted in a completely randomized design with 8 replications to assess the efficiency of licorice root pulp as a growth medium for strawberry plant (Selva cv.) under greenhouse conditions for three months. In this experiment, four ratios (v/v) of perlite:licorice root pulp (75:25, ...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) as one of the oilseed crops has recently received lots of attention due to its suitable oil quality and high oil percentage. To evaluate the effect of water deficit stress on canola genotypes with regard to yield, drought tolerance quantitative indices and identify drought tolerant genotypes, an experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement I...
