Water and salinity stresses are the major environmental concerns limiting crop production, particularly in arid semi-arid ecologies. Focused research is required to develop mitigating strategies manage such stresses. Application of plant-bioregulators (PBRs) may be an effective option water Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during 2016–17 2017–18 at saline site NW (north-western) Indi...

The effect of flooding can be a serious problem for wheat farmers, even at dry land condition. Amount of flooding damage depends on duration flooding, developmental stage, wheat type and variety. Therefore as a factorial experiment in randomized complete design based on winter bread wheat cultivars (Pishtaz, Marvdasht, Shiraz, Zarin, Shahriar, C-81-4, Sardari, Agosta seed, FGS and Azar2) at sta...

heat stress is one of the main obstacles for crop production in many areas of the world including southwest of iran. in order to evaluation the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of wheat, an experiment was conducted during 2010-2011 under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress (late sowing date) conditions on 11 wheat genotypes including yavaro...

In this experiment the effect of inoculation with Azospirillum on the flag leaf and spike rachis anatomical features and also on grain yield and grain weight was investigated for the first time in bread and durum wheats during 2015-2016 growing season under semi-arid condition. The crop yield increased due to the inoculation with Azospirillum with a maximum yield increase of about 8.0 per cent ...

soil salinity poses considerable and increasing problems for agriculture, and is receiving much attention from plant breeders. the identification of genes whose expression enables plants to adapt to and/or tolerate salt stress is essential for breeding programs, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms of traits in saline conditions. the data obtained from 75 families produced by crossi...

a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...
