Low quality of irrigation water along with increasing salinity level has reduced the olive yield over recent years in Iran. Screening of salinity tolerance in olive cultivars using gas-exchange parameters, water use efficiency, and relative leaf chlorophyll content are important in olive development programs. This study was carried out to assess the salinity tolerance of four olive cultivars (A...

In order to study effect of drought stress on morphologic traits, yield and yield components of 28 new hybrids of corn to heat and drought stress in addition 6 commercial hybrid (as control), an experiment was carried out on based of complete randomized block design with three replication under normal irrigation and drought stress in Khorasan Razavi Agricultural Research and Natural Resources I...

A breeding hexaploid salt tolerant wheat line (MS-81-14) was produced from crossing of an Iranian salt tolerant wheat line (1-66-22) with Inia cultivar (from CIMMYT) at Karaj Research Station in 1991-92 cropping season. The F1 plants were grown at Karaj in 1992-93 cropping season, furthermore F2-F6 populations were evaluated under salinity stress conditions (EcSoil&Water = 8-12 ds/m) in Isfah...

In order to study and compare quantitative and qualitative traits of different forage vetch species under rainfall and supplemental irrigation conditions, two seprate experiments (rainfall and supplemental irrigation conditions) were conducted of faculty of Agriculture, Lorestsn University, Iran, during 2008-2009. Three species and three plant densites were combined factorially based on a rando...

Among the crops, cereals have been special important and triticale is the most successful man made cereal. In present research, water deficit stress effects on 19 triticale genotypes (X Triticosecale wittmack) and two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum), Shiraz (sensitive to water deficit stress) and Kavir (tolerant to water deficit stress) were tested. Therefore, two separate field experiments...

In order to investigate the effect of Hexaconazole (HEX) on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivars under water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in the Faculty of Agriculture of Tarbiat Modares University in the year 2010-2011 as a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design arrangement. Factors examined in this study were s...
