Broad bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important crop worldwide. An increase in seed yield would increase both the grain reserve and the profit for farmers. Previous studies on increasing broad bean seed yield have focused mainly on increases at the whole population level. Few studies have focused on the differences in plant type within populations. In this study, we classified broad bean plants into...

in order to study effect of seed weight on germination and growth of wheat seedling, an experiment in seed technology laboratory of aboureihan paradise university of tehran in 2005 has been done. in this experiment, at first stage, the seeds separated by longitude step, latitude step and set frequency parameters of gravity separator set. in second stage, 10 treatments of 1000 seed weight entere...

in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation levels and foliar application with fe and zn on quantitative and qualitative traits of red bean, an experiment was designed as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with three replications in lordegan country in summer 2011. irrigation as the main plot at three level such on: irrigation after 50, 75 and 100 mm evaporation, and fo...

one of the effects of reducing water content on soil is reduction of growth and development of seedlings and variation of field development of them. it was found that seed priming improves some characteristics of seedling and plant. an experiment was conducted for evaluating the effect of seed priming by salicylic acid on some characteristics of barley seed at early growth stages, antioxidant e...

The study was conducted to determine effects of different levels humic acid and potassium on the yield some components in chickpea 2017 Mardin city. experiment laid out a factorial randomised block design with three replications. doses were used (0, 10 20 kg da-1) 30 60 this study. In investigated plant height, first pod branch number per plant, pod, seed biological yield, unit, harvest index, ...

Information on the economic characters was derived from ninety-two varieties of soybean. Analysis of variance was carried out for the data recorded on plant height, nodes plant, branches plant, 100-seed weight, days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, grain yield, oil and protein content. Results revealed highly significant differences among varieties for all the characters. High heritability ...

Antihyperlipidaemic and antioxidant effect of Ocimum sanctum Linn. seed oil (OSSO) was investigated in rabbits. Administration of OSSO (0.8 g/kg body weight/day) for four weeks, in cholesterol (100 mg/kg body weight/day) fed rabbits significantly decreased serum cholesterol, triacylglycerol and LDL-+VLDL-cholesterol as compared to untreated cholesterol fed group. There was significant fall in a...
