long season and high temperature during spring in hot and dry areas has led to tendency for autumn planting. in order to evaluation of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) autumn planting possibility, a field experiment was done at the agricultural faculty and natural resources of saravan research field in 2010. experimental design was done as split plots based on randomized complete block design with...

this study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects, respectively. the variance due to gca and sca showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

The distribution of carbon from a branch setting pod in alfalfa was investigated during the seed development of seeds to determine the relative contribution of pod and leaf photoassimilates to the total C balance and to investigate the partitioning of these photoassimilates to other plant organs. A 13Clabeling procedure was used to label C photoassimilates of pods and leaves in alfalfa, and the...

in order to assess and identify genetic diversity and genetic relationships of the 64 kabuli chickpeas genotypes, an experimental design was carried out in a simple lattice design (8×8) in 2009-2010 cropping season on the research field of college of agriculture and natural resource of tehran university. the results of phenotypic correlation showed that grain yield per plant had significant and...

in order to study of the effects of hydro-osmo priming, bio-priming (biological fertilizer (barvar-2) and inoculation with rhizobium japonicum bacteria) on growth & yield of dpx cultivar of soybean (glycine max l.), an experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in agriculture research station of shahrood university of technolog...

drought is one on the most important factors limiting the productivity of spring chickpea in drylands of iran. sixtym genotypes of chickpea from icarda's germplasm accessions, as well as one drought susceptible check (ilc 3279), were sown in spring of 2010 at two locations, sanandaj and maragheh, in the western highlands of iran for one year. the experiment in each location was laid out in a ra...

spreading faba bean (vicia faba) cultivation can enhance the sustainability of cropping systems and have other important benefits. however, there is little information on the various aspects of production management for this crop. then, this experiment was carried out to study the response of some agronomic characteristics of faba bean cv barakat to inter- (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row (...
