Durum wheat (Triticum durum desf.) is one of the most important cereal crops used to make pasta, macaroni and other foods. Understanding the complexity of the genotype × environment interaction (GEI) and its impact on determining the most stable genotypes, mega environments and other adaptation goals has been a special concern for the plant breeders. Various methods exist for the stability anal...

Supplementary irrigation moderates the damage caused by drought stress in rainfed agriculture. Meanwhile, the application of nano fertilizers and methanol as the foliar application can be considered as effective management strategies to improve production under dryland conditions. For this purpose, the effect of supplementary irrigation, nano fertilizer spraying, and methanol foliar spraying wa...

  In order to study the effects of different levels of irrigation, nitrogen and plant population on yield, yield components and reserved dry matter remobilization of seed corn (SC. 704 hybrid) a research was conducted at the experimental field in Khuzestan Natural Resources and Agricultural Science University in summer, 2004. This research was made based on three split-plot field experiments, R...

Salinity is one of a major abiotic stress, specifically on arid and semi-arid areas that has influenced on crop growth and reduced grain yield. The purpose of present study was identification of agronomic traits related to wheat grain yield variation under control and salinity conditions. In order to produce a population of 272 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), a cross between two bread wheat cu...

Six rainfed durum wheat genotypes (Chehel daneh, Gerdish, Zardak, Syrian-1, Waha and Knd1149//68/ward) and their complete diallel progenies of F1 generation were evaluted in a randomized complete block design with two replications. Analysis of variance indicated genetic differences among genotypes. General combining ability (GCA) was significant for all of the studied traits except hundred grai...

To evaluate the effect of nitrogen slowly released from pellet, composed of manure and urea fertilizer on the Nitrogen efficiency and morphological Characteristics and grain yield of corn hybrid (S.C704), a field experiment was carried out in Aboureihan research farm of Tehran University in 2009. The factorial design of the study comprised a randomized complete block with three replications. Th...
