genetic diversity in bean collection can be used in breeding program for selection of genotype with desirable agronomic traits. fifty two accessions of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris) has been evaluated for genetic diversity of agronomic traits, grain quality and determination of association between grain yield and some morphological traits at research farm of national plant gene bank of iran,...

Medicago spp. is the most important forage crop in many regions of the world.Annual medics have distinct advantages over perennial Medicago. These species have fastergrowth rate in cultivation year, higher crude protein percentage, tolerance to pests and morevigorous seedlings. Morphological and physical aspects of pod and seeds of annual medicsplay a major role in the tolerance of the plants t...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and the relationships between studied characteristics with seed storage proteins, 60 genotypes with three colors (white, red and pinto bean) were studied using an augmented design with three blocks and four varieties as controls. the majority of studied traits were significantly different between large and small s...

Dissipation and persistence study of imidacloprid on peas as seed treatment revealed presence 6.47 9.92 mg kg-1 residues green pea leaves at a dose 1.8 g 3.6 a.i. per kg seed, respectively after 19 days treatment. Residues dissipated below limit quantification 0.01 49 54 were found in immature pod with succulent seeds, seeds (shelled), mature soil dry fodder (without root pod).

The present study was conducted to find out correlation and path analysis for 10 yield attributing traits using 159 diverse pea genotypes. Correlation studies revealed that the days 50% flowering, node at which 1st pod appears, number of pods/plant, seeds/pod, length, weight picking had significant positive with total yield/plant while, plant height shelling percentage were negatively correlate...

an experiment was conducted at assossa agricultural research center (aarc) station during 2008 cropping season in order to study the effects of co-inoculation of bradyrhizobium japonicum (tal-378 and tal-379) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (psb) (pseudomonas spp.), and conventional farmers’ fertilizer level (combined and individual application of 46n kg ha-1 and 46 p2o5 kg ha-1) on nodulat...

Orchid seeds, which are produced in abundance, are particularly small and light. Some orchid species are anemochorous, i.e., bear seeds that are dispersed by wind. To characterize the seeds of Japanese orchids, we measured the size of seeds and embryos of 68 Japanese orchid species. Most orchid seeds had a length of 0.3 to 2 mm and a width of 0.07 to 0.2 mm. Embryo length and width were 0.1 to ...

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...
