Drought stress is the major problem in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Investigating the response of different cultivars of crop plants to drought stress can help to select the tolerant ones for agriculture in arid lands. In this study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with two common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgari...

nowadays, protection of environment and safe agricultural production are an important aims of the sustainable agriculture. also, in attention to abundance of saline soil and water resources in the country, the present research was designed to evaluate pgpr inoculation effect on some morphological and physiological traits of two green bean plant cultivars under salinity stress conditions. a gree...

In order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in Isfahan. The experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Isfahan (51° 48' E, 32° 40' N).Main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class A and cultiv...

Understanding how elevated CO2 affects dynamics of nodal leaf growth and N assimilation is crucial for the construction of high-yielding canopy via breeding and N management to cope with the future climate change. Two soybean cultivars were grown in two Mollisols differing in soil organic carbon (SOC), and exposed to ambient CO2 (380 ppm) or elevated CO2 (580 ppm) throughout the growth stages. ...

this research was carried out for evaluation of competitive ability of some wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) of recommended wheat in dargaz region with common weed of feral rye (secale cereale). experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 growing season. experimental factors were included four wheat cultivars of says...

this research was investigated to evaluate growth indices and competitive ability of two wheat ) triticum aestivum l. (cultivars in interference with two species of narrow and broad leaf weeds as two separated experiments based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university, during 2008-2009. in both experiments, alvand and sayson...

In order to evaluate the impact of different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of two forage sorghum cultivars, a 2-year field experiment was carried out at the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. Two factorial experiments were carried out in randomized block design with three replicates, in which the treatments included...

Measurement or estimation of leaf area is essential for understanding crop responses to experimental treatments. The objective of this study was to develop regression models for estimating leaf area of field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) from measurements of leaf dry weight (LDW), vegetative components (stems and leaves) dry weight (VDW) and plant height (PH). Three cotton cultivars (Del...

to study the effects of foliar application of common and nano-sized iron sulphate on five sunflower cultivars (alster, olsion, hysun36, yourflour and hysun33) under two levels of salinity (0 and 100 mm nacl), a pot experiment in factorial based using a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. plant height, leaf area, shoot weight, chlorophyll content and the conce...
