In order to study the physiological and morphological characteristics of canola cultivars at different planting dates, an experiment was carried out in 2008-2009 at the Agriculture Research Station of Yasouj. A factorial with Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications was conducted. Four planting dates (September 12, September 22, October 2 and October 12) and four cultivars (Zarfa...

In order to investigate the effect of planting date on yield and yield components of grain sorghum cultivars, a factorial experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Yasouj University, in 2010, based on randomized complete blocks design and three replications. The studied factors included nine sorghum cultivars (SOR 1003, SOR 834, SOR 808, SOR 1008, SOR 1011, SOR 1009, SOR 1006, SOR 857 and SO...

Climate change and the global warming phenomenon is one of the main concerns of human societies. In this study, the impact of climate change on rice, as the main crop in Guilan province, Iran and soybean production as the second crop was investigated. To adapt to the negative impact of climate change in future, optimal crop calendars were indentified for different rice and soybean cultivars usi...

The aim of present study was determination of optimum planting date for soiless culture of three strawberry comertial cultivars for Sari climatic conditions in northen Iran. A factorial pot experiment, based on completely randomized design, was conducted with four planting dates at one month intervals from October 1st to December 30th for three strawberry cultivars (Gaviota, Queen Elisa and Cam...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an oilseed crop and can have a considerable contribution to vegetable oil production in the country, since it has a high adaptability to different environmental conditions. This crop is grown in summer time as a second crop in Isfahan province. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the agronomic characteristics of the safflower breeding line...

  Using growing degree days (GDD) for expression of duration of plants’ developmental stages is preferred over calendar time. Therefore, determination of GDD and zoning of regions is very important for on time and correct agronomic practices and also for better land use. To determine the required GDD for developmental stages of spring safflower cultivars, the data obtained from planting-date ex...

Although safflower is known to be a cool-season crop, it is usually planted as a summer crop in Isfahan. Thus, an experiment was conducted in 2000 at the Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan University of Technology, to study the effects of date of planting on growth, yield components, and seed yield of safflower. Five planting dates (March 12, April 12, May 10, June 8, and July 12) and four ...

In order to study the effect of planting date on five cultivars of wheat (Khazar1, Falat, Zagros, Kohdasht, Karim) an experiment was conducted as a split-plot randomized complete block in Research Farm of Gonbad Kavous University, Gonbad Kavous, in northern Iran at 2013-2014. Main plots contained nine planting dates (November 4th, November 19th, December 3rd, December 18th, January 2nd, January...
