the seedbed preparation and cereal residue present due to limit of maize (zea mays l.) growing period are a major challenge in double cropping after winter cereals in iran as: shahrekord. in this research, effects of various seedbed preparation methods and crop residuea managements on vegetative growth and yield of forage maize (ksc 704) were studied in a barley-maize double cropping during 200...

maize hybrid ksc 703 (k47/3 x mo17) produced grain yield 12.034 t/ha over seven locations in 2010, compared to ksc 704 with 12.034 t/ha, as check. during two years evealuation ( 2011-2012) over 12 locations, this hybrid revealed grain yield 11.291 t/ha, comparing to ksc 704 with 9.506 t/ha, showing 1.785 t/ha (18.8%) yield increase. on farm experimants carried out in islam abad, ravansar, mahta...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

samples with stalk rot, yellowing and stunting symptoms from maize fields in western provinces of iran were collected. after cultured of them on eosin methylen blue (emb) medium, twenty bacterial strains with metallic green color colonies on emb medium were selected for identification tests. according to the biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, these strains were identified as dickeya ze...

in order to investigate the effect of zinc element application on growth and some morphophysiological of maize (single cross 704) an experiment was conducted during 2010 at greenhouse. experimented design was complete randomize factorial with four replications. treatments of experiment were soil salinity (4, 8 ds.m-1 and 0 as a control) and different zinc concentration including 0, 10 and 20 mg...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying deficit irrigation on aboveground biomass, leaf area and root biomass for maize hybrid 704 single-cross. experimental treatments included 4 different irrigation levels, 5 growth stages with three replicates in a completely randomized factorial statistical design. aboveground biomass, leaf area and root biomass in 4 longitudinal sec...

In the present study, some nutritional imbalances, specific ion toxicity and yield-ion concentration relationships in maize under water, nitrogen (N) and salinity stresses were assessed. Effect of different levels of irrigation water (I1=1.0ETc+0.25ETc as leaching, I2 =0.75I1 and I3 =0.5I1) as main plot, salinity of irrigation water (S1=0.6, S2= 2.0 and S3=4.0 dS m-1) as sub-plot and N fertiliz...
