Eight maize varieties viz. four composites (Mohor, Barnali, Khoibhutta, and BARI Maize-6) and four hybrids (BARI Hybrid Maize-1, BARI Hybrid Maize3, BARI Hybrid Maize Top 1 & Pacific 984), were tested for their response to zinc fertilization (0 and 3 kg Zn/ha) at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Jessore (AEZ-11, High Ganges River Floodplain) during 20022005. The varieties were...

in order to obtain high yielded and tolerant to drought stress maize hybrid a breeding program was started in safiabad agricultural research center in the 1999 and a few s6 lines attained in 2005. then interactive components were created and evaluated in the preliminary and semi-finals experiment during two consecutive years. after preliminary studies, nine hybrids were selected which they were...

in order to determine radiation use efficiency and phenological and physiological characteristics of three maize hybrids on seven plant densities, an experiment was conducted during 2006 growing season in mashhad, iran. three maize hybrids including late-rippening maize (704), medium-rippening (504) and early-rippening maize (260) and seven plant densities including d1=3, d2=5, d3=7, d4=9, d5=1...

in order to investigate effect of application of nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (n1: 100% chemical fertilizer, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, n3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...

drought stress is the most important environmental constraint contributing to grain yield instability of maize(zea mays l.). evaluation of maize genotypes under different stresses would be useful for identifying genotypes that combine stability with high yield potential for stress-prone areas. this study was conducted to estimate grain yield stability of maize hybrids and to identify hybrids th...

Drought stress is considered as the most important limiting factor for growing of crops such as maize. Under low irrigation conditions, proper nutrition of plants can improve the effects of drought stress. This experiment was carried out in order to investigate the effect of nutrition management along with application of zeolite on agronomic traits of two hybrids of maize under deficit irrigati...

This work was aimed at assessing whether in silage maize it is possible to replace precisionplanting with a volumetric seeding in the perspective of developing hybrid machines to strip tilland sow both high density crops like winter cereals and low density crops like maize. This inorder to reduce the number of machines in the farm, simplify logistics and reduce amortizationcosts. Two experiment...
