in order to study the effect of nitrogen on competition between wild oat (avena fatua) and wheat (triticum aestivum) at vegetative growth stage, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. first factor was five densities (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plan...

in order to study grain yield, yield components and growth indices in wheat, the experiment was carried out with five wheat cultivars at rbcd arrangement with 4 replications at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources. the cultivars included zagros, tajan, kohdasht, durum and n81-18 line. to measure studied traits (leaf, stem and shoot dried weight and leaf area) fifteen...

Common wheat is a hexaploid species with most of the genes present as triplicate homoeologs. Expression divergences of homoeologs are frequently observed in wheat as well as in other polyploid plants. However, little is known about functional variances among homologous genes arising from polyploidy. Expansins play diverse roles in plant developmental processes related to the action of cell wall...

A knowledge model with temporal and spatial characteristics for the quantitative design of a cultural pattern in wheat production, using systems analysis and dynamic modeling techniques, was developed for wheat management, as a decision-making tool in digital farming. The fundamental relationships and algorithms of wheat growth indices and management criteria to cultivars, ecological environmen...

For estimation of grain yield in wheat, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is considered as a potential screening tool. Field experiments were conducted to scrutinize the response of NDVI to yield behavior of different wheat cultivars and nitrogen fertilization at agronomic research area, University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) during the two years 2008-09 and 2009-10. For recordi...

abstract in this study, willingness to pay of 180 wheat farmers in khorasan razavi province to remove weeds in different options and different growth stages in 2008 through logarithmic regression was investigated. the results indicated that farmer's total annual income, being perennial of weeds and dummy variables percent of removing weeds in growth different stages, had positive and significan...

The present study investigates remote sensing based approach of large-area crop water requirement using vegetation indices as proxy indicator of crop coefficient (Kc). This study is an attempt to estimate the reasonably proper Kc for lowland rice and wheat and subsequently crop evapotranspiration (ETc) in rice-wheat system using multitemporal IRS P6-AWiFS data integrated with meteorological dat...

Five organic supplements namely cotton seed meal (CSM), peanut meal (PM), wheat bran (WB), rice bran (RB) and soybean meal (SBM) were supplemented to the wheat straw @ 10% and 20% (on dry weight basis). Mycelial growth and enzyme activity of Lentinus edodes strain Le-S were recorded at periodic intervals of 10 d upto 30 d. Maximum mycelial extension rate was obtained with 10% rice bran suppleme...
