Seed yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is important in determining the effective distribution of new cultivars to farmers. Many genetic and environmental factors affect seed yield. This study was conducted to explain seed yield variation induced by either environmental conditions or cultivars. We analyzed seed yield, aboveground phytomass, harvest index, and seed yield components for a set ...

in order to investigation of nitrogen fertilizer split application effect on quantity yield and grain quality of rice varieties, an experiment was carried out based on rcbd design as split plot experiment in three replications in langroud in 2006. mainand sub factor were variety (hashemi and bahar 1) and five nitrogen fertilizer split application (split of 150 kg.ha-1 n at transplanting, stemmi...

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...

A field experiment was carried out at the Didactic and Experimental Farm in Swadzim near Poznań in 2004-07. Two maize cultivars were studied, six nitrogen doses and magnesium doses. The effects of the mentioned factors exerted on the utilization of nitrogen from the applied mineral fertilizer and on the nitrogen harvest index were studied. The impact of nitrogen fertilization on the mineral int...
