Effects of biofertilizers and stacosorb polymer* on yield and yield components of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) under drought stress were evaluated using a split-factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the agricultural research farm of Lorestan University, Khorramabad, Iran in 2013. The factors included drought condition (stressed a...

BACKGROUND: Alternative furrow irrigation method is an effective procedure to reduce the amount of irrigation water in arid areas for economic production. OBJECTIVES: Assessment seed yield, its components and morphological characteristics of corn affected different level of irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer (SAP) under warm and dry climate con...

introduction safflower is native to iran, and is cultivated for high adaptability, low water requirement, resistance to drought and useful unsaturated fatty acid (ashri et al., 1977). identification of effective agronomic traits and relationship between them are important aims under water stress conditions. among these characters, grain yield is the most important trait that is genetically poly...

drought stress is considered as one of the main important factors reducing field crop yield, thus leading researchers to study the related physiological characteristics may reduce drought effects. this experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement institute (spii) in karadj, arak and jolgeh rokh for three cropping seasons (2008-2011) to evaluate drought tolerance of br...

in order to study the morphological, phenological and yield characteristics of 70 desi chickpea genotypes, a trial was conducted on 2007 in research farm of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad. in this study, 70 desi chickpea genotypes from ferdowsi university of mashhad seed bank, were planted in plots without replication including one to four planting rows at maximum length ...

in order to study the effect of different redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) density on yield, yield components of soybean cultivar and determining competitive cultivar, a field experiment was carried out at mazandaran agricultural research station 2006. experiment was set up at a randomized complete block design with five rates of pigweed (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 plant per square meter) and t...

seed and oil yields, their components, and the relationships among trait performance were determined in 25genotypes of winter type oilseed rape (brassica napus l.). the experiment was carried out at the agricultural and natural resources research center of east azerbaijan, iran, in two consecutive growing seasons 2009-10 and 2010- 11. significant differences were observed in plant height, numbe...
