African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...

Three faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cross populations, i.e. Giza 40/Giza 3 (Cross No.1), Slaim/Giza 3 (Cross No.2) and Slaim/311/1170/81 (Cross No.3), were made for selection by three methods, i.e. Mass selection (MSM), pedigree selection (PSM) and Picking-pod (PPM) from F to F generation during 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2 4 2007/2008 seasons at Mattana Agricultural Research Station, ARC, Isna, Qena...

Seed weight is a very important and complex trait in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). The seed weight of rapeseed shows great variation in its natural germplasm resources; however, the morphological, cytological and genetic causes of this variation have remained unclear. In the present study, nine highly pure inbred rapeseed lines with large seed weight variation and different genetic backgrounds ...

in order to study of hydropriming, planting depth and nitrogen split application effect on yield and yield components of double cross hybrid of corn, an experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. nitrogen split application included (400 kg/ha at sowing date, 100 kg/ha at sowing date and 300 kg/ha 25 to 50 days after sowing da...

abstract supplementary irrigation for suitable crops production in most area of iran is necessary. in order to study supplementary irrigation effects on yield and yield components of three lentil (lens culinaris medik.) cultivars, an experiment was carried out as split block based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research field, college of agriculture, ferdowsi uni...

in order to understand the effect of plant density and different fertilizers on sesame (sesamum indicum l.) production, an experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were fertilizers in four levels (cow manure (30 t.ha-1), municipal compost (30 t.ha-1), chemical fertilizer (250 kg ammonium ...

the effect of electromagnetic field was examined on zinnia (zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. the seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mt in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. the experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

a randomized complete block design with four replications and a split plot arrangement was conducted in 2010, in order to study the effect of limited irrigation on yield and yield component of sweet corn. water levels were (100%, 80%, and 60% replacement of plant water requirement) which served as main plots. subplot was a factorial arrangement of three different sweet corn varieties (merit, ob...

Correlation coefficient and path analysis studies was conducted with eight parents and their 28 F1 crosses for twelve component characters including seed yield and revealed significant positive association of pods per plant, harvest index and clusters per plant with seed yield in parental generation whereas in F1 generation, significant positive association of clusters per plant, pods per plant...
