chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a native crop of asia which is grown worldwide including iran.in this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.the experimental design was split plot with rcbd replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 january,4 february,and 5 march) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

Crown structure, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) and growth were analyzed in 300 replicated loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliotti) clones to: (1) quantify genetic variation in crown structural traits, growth and APAR at the species, family and clonal levels; and (2) estimate within-family genetic and environmental influences on measu...

there is little information available on morphological and agronomic traits, as well aschemical compositions of iranian mint landraces. this study was conducted to investigate themorphological, agronomic and oil content characteristics of iranian mint landraces using twelvelandraces, three of which belong to mentha longifolia, and the remaining, mentha spicata l, originatedfrom central regions ...

A forest canopy is a complex system with a highly structural multi-scale architecture. Physical based radiative transfer (RT) modelling has been shown to be an effective tool for retrieval of vegetation canopy biochemical/physical characteristics from optical remote sensing data. A high spatial resolution RT through a forest canopy requires several geometrical and structural parameters of trees...

experiments were conducted at the horticulture research farm of horticulture department, bangabandhu sheikh mujibur rahman agricultural university (bsmrau), salna, gazipur during december, 2007 to may, 2009 to investigate the effect of bulb cutting and potting media on propagation of hippeastrum. the bulb cutting significantly influenced all the parameters except days required to first leaf eme...

Bare-root strawberry plants produced in Patagonia accumulate more reserves the main crown, which allows their immediate development after transplantation. Due to dependence on these bare-root plants, Brazilian producers use early cultivars, start leaves emission and flower buds differentiation advance, since do not always arrive within estimated time for planting southern Brazil. The objective ...
