chickpea (cicer arietinum) is the third most important pulse crop in the world, grown widely across asia and the middle east. weed is one of the main limiting factors in chickpea (cicer arietinum) production. several characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum), such as slow plant emergence, short plant height, and chickpea morphology allow weeds to compete effectively. to investigate the effe...

investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

in order to evaluation of plant densities and row spacing effects on growth and yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted by using four plant densities (125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2),two row spacing (12.5 and 25 cm), in a randomized complete block design with three replicates in anbare-ololum reign in rainfed and saline conditions during 2008-2009. results showed that leaf area index (...

the diamondback moth, plutella xylostella (linnaeus, 1758) (lep.: plutellidae) is the most destructive insect pest of crucifer plants throughout the world. in order to study its seasonal population fluctuation, sampling was conducted in the cauliflower fields of south of tehran from late may until october 2011. one hectare cauliflower field in the middle of a large field was randomly selected i...

abstract rosa damascena has attracted considerable attention in horticulture, biochemistry and in pharmacology because of the fragrance of the flowers and the high content of its bio-logically active substances. there is limited information available on factors controlling flower yield and its components. the present study reports an investigation on flower yield and the various factors affect...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant population and nitrogen rate on yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l, hybrid 704) in 2008 at mamasani region, fars province. the experiment was conducted as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. experimental factors was four plant population (75000, 90000,105000, and 130000 plant h...
