salinity is one of the most restrictions in plant growth in dry and semi dry land which effects production of many crops such as sesame. in order to study the phenology and morphology characteristics of 43 ecotypes and line of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under salinity of irrigation water (5.2 ds.m-1) a field experiment was conducted at research farm of center of excellence for special crops, f...

Background: Biostimulants are amino acids and organic components, which can play main role in the plant growth and dry matter accumulation. Objective: Determine the influence of foliar application of active amino acids on quality and quantity yield of Melissa officinalis L. Methods: This study was conducted in a research farm at the institute of medicinal plants on the base of randomized ...

Three-year trials (2006-2008) were conducted in order to determine the influence of the herbicide diflufenican (trade name – Pelikan 50 CK) on certain biological traits of Bulgarian common bean cultivar Plovdiv 15 M. The herbicide was applied in the doses of 200, 250 and 300 ml/ha after the sowing and before the growth of the plants. It has been found that the traits related to the height of th...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect decreased spacing between 'Roxo de Valinhos' fig (Ficus carica) trees with different numbers fruiting branches on green production. Fig trees, two or four branches, were distributed in blocks, at a standard 2.5 m rows, three plants row (0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 m), densities 8,000, 5,333, 4,000 per hectare. experiment conducted during c...

A study was carried out to assess the genetic variability and association among yield attributing traits in 60 different safflower genotypes over six environments. The pooled analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that all attributes had a considerable degree variation.The parameters phenotypic coefficients variation (PCV) higher than genotypic (GCV)for characteristics evaluated, indicating expe...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is one of the important sources of vegetable oils and protein-rich meals. Canola ranks third in global production of oilseed crops and fifth among economically important crop next to wheat, rice, maize, and cotton. The present work was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effect of Ethylmethyl sulphonate (EMS) on the yield contributing characters of brassica nap...

Genetic variability and heritability estimates with genetic advance of traits are essential for crop improvement. In this investigation, variability induced by gamma rays and ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) for different quantitative traits including plant height (cm), flowering time (days), number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant, number of s...

Sixteen Jatropha curcas genotypes collected from four states were grown in randomized block design and evaluated for 12 characters. The genotypes showed significant differences in most component traits and seed yield, excepting primary branches/plant, fruits/bunch and seeds/fruit. The genotypes Utkal nursery, Phule1, IST 1, Jodhpur1 and Chhatrapati had above average (>84.7 g) seed yield/plant. ...

knowledge of the relation between agronomical traits with economical yield is very important in crop improvement and breeding. in order to study of genetic diversity and identifying yield components, 568 kabuli type germplasm and 390 desi type chickpea germplasm that were available in pulses collection of faculty of agriculture, university of tehran, was investigated in this research in 2009 in...
