In order to study the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on grain yield and its components in sunflower, an experiment was conducted using 'Record' cultivar at the Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology in 1996. Four levels of nitrogen (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg/ha) and four plant densities (65000, 75000, 85000 and 95000 plants/ha...

In order to evaluate and grouping wheat genotypes based on grain yield and important agronomic traits under drought stress, a field experiment was conducted with 43 wheat genotypes using a Randomized Complete Block design in three replication at Azad University, khorramabad, Iran in 2012-2013 cropping season. Evaluated traits were: day to maturity, day to pollination, grain filling rate, grain ...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between morphophysiological and phenology traits with grain yield to determine the best indices of direct and indirect selection in the field of genetic improvement of aerobic rice grain yield in Khuzestan province with 12 aerobic rice genotypes. The traits such as include the grain yield as the dependent variable and total dry matter, panicle we...

  Evaluation of genetic improvement of grain yield and other traits in cultivars released in different years is useful to determine plant breeding impact on grain yield improvement, to define future selection criteria and to identify the desirable environment and traits for further assessment. This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic improvement for grain yield and other traits of twelv...

    Present study aimed to assess the relationship between grain yield and its components in 116 rice genotypes in F₂ generations obtained from crosses between Tarom-Jelodar and 229R cultivars. Correlation analysis showed that the number of panicle per plant (0.758), the number of filled grains per panicle (0.604), the 100 grains weight (0.401) and grain width (0.234) had significant positive r...

An experiment was conducted at Rasht Rice Research Institute, in 2001 to study trait relationships and to determine the direct and indirect effects of different characteristics on grain yield of rice (Orgza sativa L.). A 9x2 factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with 3 replications was used. The two factors were 9 cultivars, namely: Hashemi, Ali Kazemi, Binam, Sepeedroud, Nem...
