Humic acid fertilizer (HA) incorporation is a common method for improving crop growth and soil fertility. However, the effects of HA on rice are still unknown. We conducted two-year field experiment to determine radiation use, growth, yield grown with five different rates: 110 kg?ha?1 100% urea (pure nitrogen) (T1); 30% 70% (T2); 50% (T3); (T4), 1500 (T5). The results showed that T2 treatment h...

intercropping may be helpful manner to increase interception and utilization. the aim of this study was to compare radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping with sole cropping. an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad in the growing season of the year 2008. the experimental treatments were: 1- sole crop of bean 2...

While improving the efficiency at which rice plants take up fertiliser nitrogen (N) will be critical for the sustainability of rice (Oryza sativa L.) farming systems in future, improving the grain yield of rice produced per unit of N accumulated in aboveground plant material (agronomic N use efficiency; NUEagron) through breeding may also be a viable means of improving the sustainability of ric...

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...

in order to investigate effective morpho-physiological traits related to salinity resistance, and their relationship with grain yield as well as study of salinity tolerance and susceptibility indices in 169 barley recombinant inbred lines, a  population of barley derived from a cross between arigashar and igri, this experiments were carried out using alpha lattice design with two replications d...

Understanding processes of maize (Zea mays L.) growth and production of grain in highyielding, irrigated conditions offers hope to understand yield potential in many other environments. In this study we investigated such processes at the plant level, and attempted to simulate maize yields at the field level and county level in the high yielding region of the High Plains of Texas. In addition, w...

in order to study the effects of sugar cane harvest machinery traffic on bulk density and cone index variation, a survey was conducted in 10 farms of deabel khozaiee sugarcane agro-industrial company, ahvaz, in 2006. in this experiment, two types of harvesters including wheel half track and tire wheels with 14 tons of weight, versus two types of tractor and basket transporters, with 10 and 18 t...

pulses crops with nitrogen fixation ability have a special place in the crop rotation. in order to comparethe agronomic characteristics of five promising lines of pinto beans with sadri and local khomeincultivars as control a study was conducted at 2011- 2012 cropping seasons, in three cities offereidoonshahr, dehaghane and semirom in isfahan province. randomized complete block design withfour ...

Harvest index is a measure of success in partitioning assimilated photosynthate. An improvement of harvest index means an increase in the economic portion of the plant. Our objective was to identify genetic markers associated with harvest index traits using 203 O. sativa accessions. The phenotyping for 14 traits was conducted in both temperate (Arkansas) and subtropical (Texas) climates and the...
