drought stress is one of the important environmental factors reducing grain yield of plants in arid and semiarid regions. study the effect of water deficit stress on yield, water use efficiency and harvest index of sesame varieties, this experiment was conducted as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, at agriculture and natural resources research cen...

introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...

effects of drought stress and chemical treatments was studied on growth and developmental traits of four barley cultivars using a split- split plot design (rcbd) in agricultural research farm, kerman university in 2013-14. main plots consisted of irrigation (control and drought stress after flowering), sub-plots consisted of four barley cultivars (ʻnosratʼ, ʻafsalʼ, ʻyousofʼ and ʻuh12 lineʼ) an...

drought is a major limiting factor for agricultural production in most parts of the world and landraces areimportant genetic resources for crop improvement in dry areas. during the 2007-2008 cropping season, 23 chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes consisting of 21 kabuli chickpea landraces provided by the national plant gene bank of iran and two known commercial varieties (hashem and arman) ...

introduction safflower is native to iran, and is cultivated for high adaptability, low water requirement, resistance to drought and useful unsaturated fatty acid (ashri et al., 1977). identification of effective agronomic traits and relationship between them are important aims under water stress conditions. among these characters, grain yield is the most important trait that is genetically poly...

in order to study drought stress, zn and, fe foliar application on grain yield and yield components of sorghum (sorghum bicolar l .moench)in sistan region, an split plot experiment was carried out base on randomized complete block design with 3 replications during summer2010. three irrigation levels (normal irrigation, pre-anthesis drought stress and post-anthesis drought sress) ialocated in ma...

In order to investigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield and its components, a study was carried out (2011) as split plots in randomized complete blocks design in Isfahan (32° 40'  N,51° 48' E). Main factor was drought stress in four levels including irrigation after 80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan (class A) and subplots were three cultivars (Sirena, Record...
