to determine chromosomal localization and relationship between field and laboratory indicators of drought tolerance, an experiment was conducted in 2003-2004 cropping season at sararood agricultural research station, kermanshah, iran. seven genotypes of wheat-barley disomic addition lines provided by international center for agricultural research in dryland areas (icarda), their donor and recip...

This paper quantifies advances of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station (KAES) wheat breeding program for two time periods: (1) 1911 to 2006 and (2) 1977 to 2006. Using multiple regression, increases in yields of wheat varieties grown in Kansas are quantified, holding growing conditions and other improvements in productivity constant. Differences in KAES variety yields and those released b...

Cyanophyta of some paddy-fields of Golestan province (North of Iran, near the Caspian Sea) have been studied during 2006–07. Phormidium subinerusatum, P. tenue, P. jadinianum, P. purpurascens, P. lucidum, P. fragile, Microcoleus palaodus, M. lacustris are new records for Golestan province and Iran. Results showed that  P. subinerusatum, P. tenue were dominant in all stations. P. fragile, in spr...

in order to evaluate the effects of convention and conservation (no-tillage and reduced tillage) tillage methods on wheat and chickpea yield and yield components and soil physical properties under rainfed conditions in kermanshah (n: 34°19', e: 47°17'), some experiments were performed in sararood dryland agricultural research station during three cropping seasons (2011-2014). in the f...

to study the effect of different fertilizing systems on macro and micro nutrients uptake by annual medic (medicago scutellata cv. robinson) an experiment was conducted under dry farming and irrigated conditions at two research stations (sararood dryland agricultural research institute and soil fertility research station in mahidasht) during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments consi...
