given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of tarbiat modares university during 2007 growing season. experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. in this research, sow...

Hoagland’s nutrient solution (HS) * was used as a tool to investigate whether or not the phyto­ chrome-mediated appearance of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) * and ascorbate oxidase (AO) * in the mustard seedling cotyledons is simply a modulation of the appearance of these enzymes in the dark (basal level). HS was applied to the mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedling at sowing instead of distille...

in order to investigation of sowing date effect on yield of millet species and its impressible from duration of phonological periods and development rate, an experiment was conducted based on complete randomized block design as combine analysis in four replications at eight sowing dates (30 april, 1 jun, 31 may, 4 july, 5 august, 1 september, 2 october and 3 november) and three millet species (...

1 Wheat Research Center, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh ABSTRACT. Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using rand...

The experiment was conducted under a controlled environment to study the effects of different temperature regimes (15/10°C,20/15°C, and 25/20°C day/night) and sowing depths (0, 2, 4, and 6 cm) on the seedling emergence and early growth (height gain) of wheat (cv. Marvdasht) and wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum).The cumulative emergence and plant height gain over time were modeled with the use of...

The influence of pre-sowing treatments using hydropriming, osmopriming and halopriming in laboratory and/or nursery tests on seedling emergence, seedling weight and plant growth of endive and chicory was examined. Halopriming (KNO3) or growth regulators (gibberelic acid; GA3) improved the rate of germination of endive and chicory and reduced the mean germination time needed. 30 min pre-sowing t...

Conventional seedbed preparation for spring sown crops in Sweden includes 3±4 harrowings followed by sowing, but there is a great interest among farmers to reduce this tillage. Since the soil is normally at ®eld capacity after winter, the conventional system implies a major risk of soil compaction and the farmer has to wait for the soil to dry before seedbed preparation can be started. A new te...

to study the root allelopathic effects of cool season crops on germination and early growth of three crops (sorghum, corn, and soybean), an experiment was conducted in seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran. the experiment consisted of four cool season crops (wheat, barley, rye and pea) and control as the main plots, three spring-crops (corn, soy...

Sunflower is one of the most important edible oil that growth of annual crops, it is grown over a widely area and is considered a crop adapted to an every environmental conditions, in order to study growth analysis of sunflower under sowing date and cultivars in dry condition a farm experiment was conducted a split plot arranged in a complete randomized block design with three replications in t...
