this study was conducted to evaluate 13 promising triticale lines and cultivars based on yield traits, metabolizable energy and anti-nutritional compounds. the experiment was carried out using a rcb design with three replications at the seed and plant improvement institute, karaj and gonbad, during 2008-2009 cropping season. these genotypes were studied in the next year, at the animal science r...

bitter asafetida (ferula assafoetida l.) is one of the medicinal-rangeland plants belonging to apiaceae family. the resin which is through incision secreted of the root has medicinal properties. the effect of rain on resin yield of this plant is one of problem of natural resources offices. the main aim of this study was to find out the effects of the irrigation on the resin yield, plants surviv...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress at different phenological stages on growth indices of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivar jam, an experiment was carried out at the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, using a completely randomized design with four replications. drought stress was applied by preventing irrigation until the soil mois...

in order to study the effect of deficit irrigation at reproductive growth stages on growth and grain yield of four sunflower cultivars namely: azargol, allstare, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at the experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university. the experimental design was a split plot one, based upon a randomized comp...

Current study was carried out to assessment the effects of zeolite on seed yield, physiological and biochemical traits of sorghum in response to different irrigation regime according split plot arrangement based on complete randomized block design with three replications in Varamin region (Central of Iran). The main plots consisted of different irrigation regime at four levels [Normal irrigatio...

in order to evaluate the interference effect natural population weeds and plant density, an experiment with randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with 4 replications was conducted in 2006 in a field experiment at ramin agricultural and natural resources university, khouzestan. treatments included two factor, plant density of corn at three levels (4, 7 and 10 plants m-2) and ...

Rapeseed-mustard constitutes an important source of edible oil next to soybean, grows under diverse agro ecological situations such as timely / late sown, rainfed / irrigated, sole-& / or mixed crop with cereals (wheat, barley etc.) and rabi (October-April) pulses (chickpea, lentil etc.), where high temperature is the main constraint not only at germination but also at grain filling stage. Flow...

introduction lentil with about 28 percent protein occupies the second after soybean. it is one of the major crops in developing countries as a complement to cereals and is an excellent source of protein and amino acids in the diet. results of studies shown that for most crops, including lentil, the occurrence of drought stress in some phenology stages cause irreparable damages to yield. therefo...

in order to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals and harvesting time on yield and yield components of anise (pimpinella anisum l.) a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, university of zanjan in 2010. for this purpose a spilt-plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. three irrigation intervals (every 7, 1...

Production of high quality seeds in African leafy vegetables has not been practiced due to varying reasons including incorrect harvesting stages and fertilizer rates. Jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) pods do not ripen simultaneously and fruits left to dry on mother plant long before harvesting, which face seed quality deterioration. Timely seed harvesting ensures maximum seed quality attrib...
