introduction the demand for food and agricultural products are increasing in a line of population increasing in the world (alexandratos, 2003). it is possible to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products via extending the farms and producing more products (astaaraei and koocheki, 1995). environmental problems caused by synthetic fertilizers and the high levels of producing and ...

leaf rolling, especially in cereals, mechanisms for reducing the light receiving surface of the leaves to reduce transpiration rate in response to drought caused. to investigate the effect of drought stress on leaf rolling and leaf anatomical characteristics, yield and yield components in field experiment was conducted bahonar university . in this experiment, five varieties of wheat (shole, omi...

Biological fertilizers are compounds comprising various free living microorganisms that are able to change the basic nutrients into available form through biological procedures. Being an important source of nutrients in sustainable agriculture, these fertilizers lead to better seed germination and development of root system. In order to investigate the effect of biological fertilizers on the me...

Six varieties of durum wheat were included in a full diallel mating design during 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 cropping seasons in the farm of Maragheh Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Iran. Parental durum wheat genotypes and their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design with two replications in the growing seasons of 2005-06. The highest values of ...

to study yield and its relationships with yield components in 10 varieties of foxtail millet (kfm1 to kfm10), an experiment was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center in rcbd design with three replications for a period of three years (2003 to 2005). vegetative and reproductive characteristics of each cultivar were recordered during the growing seasons. three year results showed si...

Wheat grain yield consists of three components: spikes per plant, grains per spike (i.e. head or ear), and grain weight; and the grains per spike can be dissected into two subcomponents: spikelets per spike and grains per spikelet. An increase in any of these components will directly contribute to grain yield. Wheat morphology biology tells that a wheat plant has no lateral meristem that forms ...

effects of five seeding rates (350, 425, 500, 575 and 650 seeds per m2) on four wheat cultivars (kavir, mahdavi, shiraz and roshan) were studied under salinity stress, during 2000-2001 crop seasons in roodasht agricultural research station, esfahan. a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. plants were irrigated with saline water (with ec...
