to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

the evaluation of gene bank germplasm collection for morpho-physiological traits is important in the breeding programs. although phenotypic variation was considered, it is likely that this phenotypic variation is largely genetic and therefore directly useable for breeders, especially for those traits with high heritability such as heading and maturity time, plant height, kernel number and weigh...

in order to determine the relationship between the variables grain yield and biological yield and some important agronomic traits, and to find the direct and indirect effects of important agronomic traits on both grain and biological yields, 364 soybean genotypes (3 planting dates) were studied. the study was based on a design augmented with 3 checks and 6 blocks implemented, in seed and plant ...

applying a suitable tillage method is vital to chickpea production in dryland conditions. hence, eight tillage methods were studied using strip plots in a randomized complete block design with three replications over three years at the dryland agricultural research institute in maragheh, iran. the amount of rainfall in the three years of the study were 202, 264 and 203 mm, respectively, which w...

in order to investigate the effects of vermicompost and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics, yield and yield components of marshmallow (altheaeofficinalis l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season of 2012. experimen...
