Understanding the physiological processes associated with high yield traits in modern cropvarieties is essential to further increase grain yield and improve nutrient management strategies.Field trials were conducted to study the effects of fertilization and variety on the grain yield ofrice (Oryza sativa L.) with two fertilizer levels and 18 modern varieties. The objectives were toevaluate yiel...

breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. to assess the efficiency of different selection methods, 50 genotypes of tall fescue (festuca arundinace) were evaluated under two moisture conditions including full irrigation (normal environment) and deficit irrigation (stress environment). the experiment was conducted according to a randomi...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

concentration of co2 in the atmosphere is likely to increase up to 550 µmol mol-1 by the middle of 21st century. such an increase in the atmospheric co2 would affect plant growth, and as well the productivity of crop plants. a field experiment was conducted with two potato cultivars namely kufri surya and kufri chipsona-3 grown inside open top chambers (otcs) at ambient (385±30 µmol mol-1) vs. ...

in order to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield, yield components and dry matter remobilization of different rice genotypes, a field experiment was carried out at the farm of ramin agricultural and natural resources university (ahwaz/iran) during 2007. experiment was arranged in a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. four nitrogen fertil...

in order to evaluate row spacing and microelements spraying on yield and some morphological traits ofpeppermint, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with fourreplications in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2010-2011. threelevels of row spacing (50 × 10, 50 × 20 and 50 × 30 cm) and two levels of microelements (no spra...

abstract this research was conducted in hamadan province for evaluation of potato cultivars reaction to cultivation date. this experiment was performed in split plot design based on randomized complete block in thee replication with two factors, containing, i. main plots are planting date including: 9 april, 25 april, 10may, 26may, 10 june, 26 june 2. and subplots are cultivar with three levels...

effect of different amounts of sulfur fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) and 200 kg/ha of thiobacillus inoculant on yield, quality and storability of two edible onion cultivars red rey and white qom were investigated. the experiments were conducted at experimental field and laboratories of the department of horticulture, seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran in 2007-08 cro...
