Field studies with and without Bradyrhizobium was carried out with five mungbean varieties to observe the yield and yield attributes of mungbean. Five mungbean varieties viz. BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5, BINA mung-2 and Barisal local, and the rhizobial inoculum (Bradyrhizobium strain BAUR-604) were used. The seeds and stover were dried and weighed adjusting at 14% moisture content and...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effect of competition between common weed in chickpea’s form in kermanshah and chickpea (cicer arietinum). it was carried out in sararood experimental station in kermanshah province in 2000. split plot factorial was considered as an experimental design that had four replications. the weeding was main factor with two different levels (whole season w...

to evaluate the agronomic characteristics in three brassica species (rape, indian mustard, and turnip) and to determine the best stress tolerance indices, 16 brassica cultivars were studied under controlled conditions in -0.6 mpa of stress and as well under field (either stressed or irrigated) conditions at the dryland agricultural research station, kermanshah during 2004-05. the results showed...

to investigate the effect of plant density and supplemental irrigation on agronomic characteristics, chlorophyll content and light interception beneath the canopy of three chickpea genotypes under dryland conditions, an experiment was conducted at research station of lorestan agricultural research center located at chegini, khoramabad, during 2004-2005. the study was conducted using a split-spl...

In order to choose an efficient breeding procedure, it is necessary to have knowledge of the genetic system controlling agronomically important traits. Common bean is one of the major legumes containing large amount of proteins and other valuable nutrients. The aim of this study was to determine genetic parameters for yield and yield components, using six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and B...

drought is a major limiting factor for agricultural production in most parts of the world and landraces areimportant genetic resources for crop improvement in dry areas. during the 2007-2008 cropping season, 23 chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes consisting of 21 kabuli chickpea landraces provided by the national plant gene bank of iran and two known commercial varieties (hashem and arman) ...

Pods play a key role in encapsulating the developing seeds and protecting them from pests and pathogens. In addition to this protective function, it has been shown that the photosynthetically active pod wall contributes assimilates and nutrients to fuel seed growth. Recent work has revealed that signals originating from the pod may also act to coordinate grain filling and regulate the reallocat...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...
