In order to evaluate the effects of seed priming with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on dry matter remobilization and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2009 at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. Factors included seed priming of...

The results of recent trials for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have influenced farming practice in the UK by encouraging the use of lower seed rates. Spink et al. (2000) have demonstrated that, particularly if sown early, wheat can compensate for reduced plant populations by increased tiller production. Results from seed-rate trials are usually analysed separately for each environment or ...

Wild bees provide a free and potentially diverse ecosystem service to farmers growing pollination-dependent crops. While many crops benefit from insect pollination, soft fruit crops, including strawberries are highly dependent on this ecosystem service to produce viable fruit. However, as a result of intensive farming practices and declining pollinator populations, farmers are increasingly turn...

In order to evaluate canopy and organs temperature depression (TD) under heat stress conditions and the effects of plant morphology on organs temperature depression and their association with grain yield, two field experiments were conducted using six wheat cultivars (Behrang, Chamran, Kauz, Koohdasht, Karim and Montana) planted on three dates (early, optimum, late) in 2014-2015 and 2015 -2016 ...

in order to study the yield and growth indices of spring safflower as double cropping, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at the research farm of faculty of agriculture, yasouj university, iran. the experiment was a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. factors included of combination of four sowing dates (may 16, june1, june 16 and july 2) and four cul...

evaluation of weed population and their interference on lentil varieties at different sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in khorramabad during 2005-06 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in factorial arrangement with 4 replications. the experiment had 3 factors including: planting date at three levels (autumn, winter, and spring) weed interfer...

in order to evaluate yield and yield components properties of cold-tolerant chickpea under winter sowing and complementary irrigation conditions, two experiments in the context of partial balanced block design with 81 chickpea genotypes and three replications were carried out. complementary irrigation was performed during growing season including irrigation immediately after sowing, 20 days aft...

considering importance of baby corn as a new food, this study was conducted to evaluate effect of different sowing date; planting density and harvest methods on growth and yield of baby corn ksc403su varieties in agricultural research center and natural resources of khorasan razavi province during on 2007-2008. was considered at three levels of sowing date (14th  june, 3th  july, 24th july) as ...

shallot (allium altissimum regel.) is a medicinal, industrial and perennial plant that has underground tubers. it is one of the most important allium species in iran, which normally grows in semi-cold to very cold highlands. because of being a wild plant, shallot is encounter with water deficit during its growth season. therefore evaluation of water requirement of shallot is important. in order...
