Analysis of generation mean was carried out in six crosses of rice viz., ADT 41 / ADT 46, ADT 41 / CO 47, ADT 41 /TKM 9, ADT 41/ Jeeragasamba, ADT 41/ACM 98003 and ADT 41/AS 90033 for hulling percentage, milling percentage, head rice recovery, kernel length, kernel breadth, kernel L/B ratio, kernel length after cooking, linear elongation ratio and alkali spreading value. The scaling test showed...

to investigate the genetic diversity of persian walnut (juglans regia), 608 different walnut genotypes of neyriz region were evaluated for 30 morphological characteristics including kernel color, fruit shape, shell seal, shell texture and kernel plumpness, kernel weight, percentage of kernel as well as thickness of shell. the correlation between was traits in most cases significant at either 1 ...

Researchers are currently developing new value-added uses for almond shells, an abundant agricultural by-product. Almond varieties are distinguished by processors as being either hard or soft shelled, but these two broad classes of almond also exhibit varietal diversity in shell morphology and physical characters. By defining more precisely the physical and chemical characteristics of almond sh...

The effect of three salicylic acid (0, 50 and 100 mg l-1) and K2SO4 (0, 0.1 and 0.2 %) levels on some characteristics nut and physiological parameters of pistachio trees cv. ‘Owhadi’ were investigated. Treatments were applied at endospermic growth stage of seed and cotyledons appearance. The results showed that potassium increase yield, splitting percentage; nut fresh mass and kernel dry mass a...

the wild pistachio (pistacia atlantica mutika) exists in 2.4 million hectares of iranian forest. in spite of high nutritional and medical value of this fruit, its use and processing are still performed manually. the objectives of this research are to design, to construct and to evaluate the performance of a pistachio hulling machine. the pistachio of kerman province was chosen as the case of st...

The Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most valuable resources in Iran because of its multi benefits. The present study was conducted in Meshkin-Shahr in Ardabil province to investigate the important quantitative and qualitative characteristics of 31 walnut genotypes. Classification of genotypes was analyzed using the cluster method. The results showed that among selected walnut ge...

in this research, we studied physical, chemical and biochemical characteristics of pistachio entitled pistacia vera cv. daneshmandi and was compared to three pistachio including of badami sefid, kalle ghoochi and akbari. the examined characteristics were fresh and dry weight of seed, green shell and also kernel, weight of hard shell, seedless and early opening nut, comparing the seed and kernel...

to determine the effect of n-fertilizer on nitrogen harvest index (nhi), crop production and growth indices of corn (s.c.704 cultivar), an experiment was conducted with five nitrogen rates (100, 140, 180, 220 and 260 kg n/ha) in a randomly complete block design in four replicates. the effect of n-fertilizer rates on variation of grain yield, number of kernels, 1000-kernel weight, nitrogen harve...
