the first damage of sugar beet ladybird was (bulaea lichatschovi hum.) reported in 1972 from south of russia. in iran, the first report of high damage of this insect on the leaves was reported from sugar beet fields of karaj in 1962. adult ladybird is reddish bown with 3.5-4.5 mm length. thorax has 6 black points. on elytres there are 20 blackish brown spots. the ventral body is black. the ante...

in order to evaluate of drought tolerance in different canola varieties based on stress evaluation indices in terminal growth duration, an experiment was conducted as split-plot design on randomized complete block design with four replications at experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2005 and 2006. results using stress susceptibility index (ssi) and tolerance inde...

background: estimating dosimetric parameters for small fields under non-reference conditions leads to significant errors if done based on conventional protocols used for large fields in reference conditions. hence, further correction factors have been introduced to take into account the influence of spectral quality changes when various detectors are used in non-reference conditions at differen...

  Abstract In order to evaluate morpho-physiological traits of confectionery sunflower under different irrigation regimes, an experiment was carried out under field conditions in Agricultural Research Center of West-Azerbaijan province, Urmia, Iran in 2012. Fifty six confectionery sunflower landraces were arranged in 7 × 8 rectangular lattice design with two replications in each one of well-wat...

the effect of drought on the seed yield and some associated characteristics of common been under normal and drought stress conditions and determination of durable genotypes to drought were studied by planting 32 genotypes in two separate augmented designs in normal and stress conditions. these genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the field of facul...
