in order to study the correlation between morphophenological and quantitative traits with yield and to determine the most important traits for yield, 600 ecotypes of mung bean were evaluated in normal and limited irrigation conditions through augmented design. computation of correlation coefficients showed that in two conditions, number of pods per plant, harvest index and biological yield had ...

A pot experiment was conducted at a net house of the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, in the ‘rabi’ season of October, 2009 to March, 2010 to evaluate the effects of gibberellic acid (GA) on growth, physio-biochemical, yield and quality parameters of chickpea cultivar DCP 92-3. Surface sterilized seeds of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were soaked in four concentrations viz., 0,1...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...

Two field experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of terminal drought on chickpea grown under water-limited conditions in the Mediterranean-climatic region of Western Australia. In the first experiment, five desi (small angular seeds) chickpeas and one kabuli ( large round seeds) chickpea were grown in the field with and without irrigation after flowering. In the second experime...

introduction bean (vicia faba l.) has the great old history of crop cultivation to date would be pushed back to a fairly long day plant, resistant to frost and cool season crop and up to 5 degrees celsius tolerated. bean prefers wet and cold conditions. excessive heat may cause fetal growth problems, loss and reduce the number of seeds per pod bean flowers to the growth of plant and fruit set o...

The biology of the pentatomid Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) feeding on cultivated and non-cultivated plants was studied in the laboratory. Nymph mortality varied from approximately 60 on corn (seed mature) to 77% on wheat (ear immature); no nymphs survived on seedlings of corn or wheat. Nymph developmental time on soybean, corn or wheat (seed, pod or ear) varied from 25.5 to 32.8 days. Body we...

In this experiment, the possibility of growth promoting of exogenous salicylic acid during two growth stages on chlorophyll content, yield and yield components of canola plant was investigated. For the purpose of improving above traits, salicylic acid was applied in four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µM) during two different growing stages (first time; when temperature was close to 7-10 °...

A linear equation of regression was used for establishment of the influence of quantitative characteristics on the grain productivity in forage pea and for development of a model for breeding work. The model for pea plant with high productivity was characterized by average height of 60–70 cm, 8–10 formed pods, 30–40 seeds per plant and 160–260 g in regard to 1000-seed weight. The obtained resul...
