This study was conducted to determine whether selecting an optimum sowing date couldimprove yield. The experiment consisted of sowing a film-covered, drip-irrigated cotton field onfour sowing dates from April to May in 2011-2012 at the Agrometeorological ExperimentalStation of Wulanwusu, which was in an arid region of north-western China. Late sowing datesproduced less yield and water-use effic...

in order to determine the best planting date and seeding rate of two triticale genotype in mashhad climate condition on 2007-2009 growing season, an experiment was carried out, using a split-plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replication, at torogh agricultural research station, mashhad, iran. main plots devoted to five seeding dates and factorial combination of th...

the chamomile species of anthemis triumfettii (l.) all is one of important medicinal plant belong to compositae family and it grows as wild species in zagros and alborz mountains, iran. the aim of this study was to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits and their relationships with essential oil. seeds of seven accessions were sown in jiffy pots and transferred to field using rando...

introduction determining the proper time for planting under different climate depends on the factors such as rainfall, temperature and length of day which are the most important aspects of crop production. its importance is because of the severity of these effects on different genotypes to achieve potential production. because different genotypes respond differently to planting delays. sowing d...

introduction nowadays oilseed crops are considered as the second most important sources of energy in the diet. in this regard, cultivation of oilseed crops such as safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is important due to quality of oil seed and medicinal properties. different planting dates leads to adaptation of vegetative and reproductive growth of plant to temperature, day-length and various ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fodder provision in species-rich grasslands, i.e. herbage growth, proportion of leaf, and leaf and stem digestibility, is difficult to predict for short periods of time, such as between two defoliations or less. The value of two methods based on plant traits for evaluating these agronomic properties was examined. METHODS One method is based on plant trait measurements on t...
