in order to study the effects of wild mustard density on grain yield and yield components of canola cv. hyola 401 under different rates of nitrogen fertilizer, a field experiment was conducted in 2011-2012. the layout was split-plot in a completely randomized block design and three replications. main-plots included four levels of nitrogen (0, 70, 140 and 210 kg ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of ...

An objective drought index that measures the dry and hot conditions adversely affecting crop yields is used in a regression analysis to test whether corn and soybeans have become more drought tolerant. Results indicate that corn yield losses from a drought of a given severity, whether measured in quantity terms or as a percentage of mean yield, have decreased over time. The null hypothesis that...

We propose two new methods for attributing the risk of a portfolio or system to its components, when it is required to produce non-negative risk components that sum to the risk of the portfolio or system as a whole. One method attributes risk entirely to losses, taking profits for granted. The other method does allow profits in some scenarios to offset losses in other scenarios to some extent, ...

in a sustainable agriculture system, application of the fertilizers which are nature friendly and suitable for plants is essential. this becomes more important when dealing with medicinal plants. therefore, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was set up in the 2012-2013 on nigella sativa l. treatments were nano­fertilizer (pharmks®) (at 2 levels ...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

Background & Aim: The genus Satureja belonging to the family of lamiaceae and consists of over 235 different species throughout the world. Fourteen species grow naturally in IRAN of which eleven species are endemic. Different species of Satureja are used in food, Healthy, cosmetic and medical industry. This reseach has been carried due to selection and introduction of...

abstract the present study was aimed to investigate the planting dates effects on yield associated traits and also determining stability of the result of factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis in different planting dates of rapeseed genotypes at biekol agriculture research station during 2011-12 cropping season. result of split plot analysis exhibited significant genotypes effects for...
