leaf rolling, especially in cereals, mechanisms for reducing the light receiving surface of the leaves to reduce transpiration rate in response to drought caused. to investigate the effect of drought stress on leaf rolling and leaf anatomical characteristics, yield and yield components in field experiment was conducted bahonar university . in this experiment, five varieties of wheat (shole, omi...

Water stress causes defoliation, which can reduce yield and root quality of sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.) through altered gas exchange characteristics of the leaves. In a two-year experiment, three sugar beet cultivars (Europa, Rival and Corsica) were subjected to three defoliation levels (control-C, moderate-MD, severe-SD) and re-watering after their exposition to drought for a month. Leaf ph...

Sustainable and successful development of the bioenergy industry strongly depends upon the amount and quality of bioenergy feedstock produced. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been identified as a model lignocellulosic bioenergy crop in the U.S. Information regarding its growth and development is considered critical for making management decisions, production of high quality feedstock and ...

grain yield loss in rice (oryza sativa l.) caused by blast disease, magnaporthe grisea (hebert) barr, is a major concern of rice growers worldwide. blast is considered as the most injurious disease of rice in iran, resulting in severe loss especially to susceptible rice cultivars. in order to assess yield loss caused by blast pathogen and develop an appropriate model, different disease onsets a...

This study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of Faba bean. To this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in Behbahan region at South eastern part of Khuzestan Province of Iran. The experimental treatments included Ni...

Quinoa is a promissory crop in the Andean region, on average, grain yield was 1.62 t ha-1 with nearly 2,000 year 2017. This study examined response of quinoa to radiation transmission, growth, and development different stages, under three planting densities order todetermine differential responses identify which aspects are determinants process yield. For present experiment, sowed differentdens...

on-farm experiments were designed to investigate the response of maize establishment and grain yield to variation in tillage systems. the tillage treatments included arara ploughing followed by zig-zag harrowing and arara ridging (t1); emcot ploughing fol-lowed by zig-zag harrowing and emcot ridging (t2); mouldboard ploughing followed by disc harrowing and mouldboard ridging (t3); disc ploughin...
