sowing date is an important determinant of yield in canola. cultivation of winter rapeseed cultivars in semi arid regions of iran however it has high potential for production, but, mentioned cultivars are late maturity and this late maturity cause to that silique formation and seed filling periods mature in the same time with hot and dry weather condition. in contrast, spring rapeseed cultivars...

for investigation quantitative and qualitative properties of different lines and cultivars of rapeseed, 19 selected lines from advanced inbreeding progenies, and zarfam variety (as check), totally 20 lines and varieties, were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj, during 2005-6. morpholo...

in order to induce of genetic variation and selection of genotypes with desirable traits, seeds of three varieties of rapeseed sarigol (pf), rgs003 and zarfam were treated with different doses of gamma ray 500, 700 and 900 gy. to confirm the stability of the induced genetic traits, 66 mutant lines from m4 generation were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications. twe...

in order to evaluate the seed yield and qualitative traits and oil in some winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) varieties as affected by micronutrient elements, this experiment was performed during 2011 - 2012 cropping seasons as split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications, in arak, iran. micronutrient fertilizers including of zero as check, fe, zn, mn, fe ...

One of the main factors limiting the yield and productivity of irrigated rice in the Sahel of West Africa is the high cost of fertilizers and inefficient use of nutrients in the cropping systems. A two-year experiment was conducted over four consecutive seasons at Ndiaye (16°11’N, 16°15’W) and Fanaye (16°32’N, 15°11’W) along the Senegal River Valley to investigate alternative fertilizer managem...

in order to investigate the effect of seed rate on seed yield and yield components of three rapeseed varieties, a split- plot experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replicates during 2008-2009 at baykola agricultural research station, neka, mazandaran province. in this experiment four seed rates (5, 7, 9 and 11 kg.ha-1) as main plots, three rapeseed cultivars (hy...

Seed fatty acid (FA) composition, oil and protein (meal) was assessed on five canola (Brassica napus) varieties in 14 cropping environments in southern Australia, including several low rainfall drought-stressed environments. We modelled the relationship between seed quality attributes and growing season rainfall and temperature using a linear mixed model. Variance components for variety and yea...

Farmers in Assam's North Bank Plains Zone are generally resource-poor and have limited adaptation ability; rainfall anomalies make the Zone's rainfed agriculture very sensitive, risky, unprofitable. Participatory on-farm trials involving 25 farmers (5 from each village) representing different land situations for evaluating various adaptive strategies on rice-based cropping systems were conducte...

Rice-rice system and rice fallows are no longer productive in Southeast Asia. Crop and varietal diversification of the rice based cropping systems may improve the productivity and profitability of the systems. Diversification is also a viable option to mitigate the risk of climate change. In Eastern India, farmers cultivate rice during rainy season (June-September) and land leftovers fallow aft...
