this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of rhizobium strains and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria(pgpr) on yield and yield components of chickpea (cicer arientinum l.) arman cultivar. this research was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design at zanjan university researchal farm. irrigation levels(optimum irrigation during season growth and no irrigat...

The composition of the translocates reaching the seeds of pea plants having various nitrogen (N) nutrition regimes was investigated under field situations. Sucrose flow in the phloem sap increased with the node number, but was not significantly different between N nutrition levels. Because N deficiency reduced the number of flowering nodes and the number of seeds per pod, the sucrose flow bleed...

detopping in some plants reduces vegetative growth and increases transporting of photosynthate materials to specific sinks such as seeds. to study the effects of detopping removal and plant density on yield and yield components of faba bean (vicia faba l.), an experiment was carried out as a factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at farm resear...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of sowing dates and plant density on grain yield and its components in chickpea var. arman, a field study was conducted at ekbatan research field station of agricultural and natural resources research center of hamedan province under rainfed condition during 2009-2010 cropping season. treatments were arranged as split plot on the basis of rand...

introduction grain legumes are considered as the second source of human nutrition after cereals and play an important role in community food supply, sustainable agriculture and economic profitability. among grain legumes, common bean has the most consumption in the world compared with others. however there are always some constraints in common bean production and drought is most important facto...

This study shows that enhancement of soil fertility along with the yield of chickpea due to nodulation by the Rhizobium is possible to some extent. Data on plant height (cm) at maturity, primary branches/plant, days to flower, pods/plant, pod dry weight/plant (g), seeds/pod, seed dry weight/pod (g), 50 seeds weight (g), nodules/plant, fresh weight of nodules/plant and dry weight of nodules/plan...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Coordination of sugar transport and metabolism between developing seeds and their enclosing fruit tissues is little understood. In this study the physiological mechanism is examined using two genotypes of asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) differing in pod wall and seed growth rates. Pod growth dominates over seed growth in genotype 'Zhijiang 121' but not...
