'Dwarf stature' maize variety offers promises to withstand unfavorable growth environments of Kharif season. But, for developing such variety, dwarf stature inbred lines must be available. Here, twenty-four F3 populations of white maize were evaluated though assessment of their genetic variability, heritability, and character association for selection of dwarf stature promising lines based on y...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

chickpea (cicer arietinum) is the third most important pulse crop in the world, grown widely across asia and the middle east. weed is one of the main limiting factors in chickpea (cicer arietinum) production. several characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum), such as slow plant emergence, short plant height, and chickpea morphology allow weeds to compete effectively. to investigate the effe...

hamoon is a new bread wheat cultivar derived from progenies of a cross made between falat and roshan. it is of spring habit and early maturity, 90-100 cm plant height, white spikes and thousand kernel weight of 40-45 gram. it is tolerant to lodging and environmental stresses(drought and salinity) as will as yellow rust. hamoon has hard grains of amber colour with averae protein content of 10.5%...

BACKGROUND: Addition of fertilizers to supplement the natural soil fertility is essential for modern crop production, and precise management of nutrient elements is essential for a sustainable agriculture production. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assessment effect of different level of micronutrient crop production and seed protein content of whea...

The aim of this study was to determine nature and extent of variability parameters and their utilization in barley breeding programme. A total of 45 F1s along with their parents and F2 populations were evaluated in a randomized block design with 3 replications during Rabi (winter season) 2014. The various traits measured were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf area...
