the ability to speak two languages in the world is a remarkable achievement. there is a good reason to believe that bilingualism is the norm for the majority of people in the world because 70% of the earth’s population are supposed to be bilingual or multilingual. various investigations have shown that the native language impacts foreign word recognition, and this influence is adapted by the de...

To study the effect of seed priming on seedling emergence characteristics of lentil and evaluate its interaction with drought stress at flowering stage, an experiment was carried out as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research station of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran. The main factor consisted drought stress with two levels (conventional irrig...

Limited time for crop residue decomposition and complete seedbed preparation in double-cropping necessitates reduced tillage which is associated with its shortcomings. Information about seedbed preparation aspects in double-cropping of wheat and mungbean in Isfahan is lacking. For this reason, the effects of various seedbed preparation methods on growth, seed yield and yield components of mungb...

Determining environment – associated alterations in grain yield is important in yield assessment under drought stress. Therefore this study was carried out to determine the correlation coefficients and direct and indirect effects of effective components on yield in four drought - tolerant and susceptible cotton cultivars. Cotton cultivars were considered as sub plots and 3 levels of irrigation ...

It is believed that various types of field bean, including pinto, white and red, differ in adaptability to high temperatures and may, thus, differ in response to delay in planting. In order to evaluate this response, an experiment was conducted during 1996 at the Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan University of Technology, using a randomized complete block design with split-plot layout. Mai...

In order to evaluate the intensity and stage of drought stress on agronomic characteristics and drought tolerance of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), a split plot factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Shahrekord University in 2013 and 2014. Drought stress treatments and levels of irrigation regimes were considered at vegetative g...

Littele is known about the relationships of different traits in safflower using wild and cultivated species. In this study, 46 safflower genotypes from five different species were evaluated under normal and deficit irrigation and the relationship of traits was assessed. Results showed that water stress had significant effect on head yield per plant, number of seeds per head, head diameter and 1...
