The current research was carried out to investigate grain yield and components and their genetic diversity and heritability of some important agronomic traits, in 19 chickpea genotypes, based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in Research Field of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan, Iran in 2011-2012 growing seasons. The ANOVA results showed that, there were highly significa...

Limited information is available on the effect of residues rates and slope direction on dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield.  This study was carried out to determine the effects of residues rates and tillage direction on grain yield and yield components of the Sardary wheat in a dryland region in Zanjan. Five wheat residues rates (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% surface cover) were applied and i...

One of the main problems in crop production in Iran is the difference between actual yield and attainable yield which is called yield gap. Thus, identifying yield constraints and yield gap are important. Therefore, a study was conducted in 60 farms in Parsabad Moghan, during 2013-14 and 2014-15 crop years using Comparative Performance Analysis (CPA). In this study, several attributes related to...

In this study, the optimum irrigation depths for corn grain production under different conditions, i.e. maximum grain yield production and maximum benefit under limited land and water conditions, were determined under sprinkler irrigation in Bajgah (15 km. north of Shiraz). The results showed that, the optimum depth of irrigation for maximum grain yield production was 77.0 cm. Because of low pr...

Due to the increasing need of the country to imported edible oil and rapeseed importance among oilseeds, efforts to increase its grain yield and oil content are of high importance. Therefore, recognizing the traits that increase grain yield of rapeseed has an important role in the success of breeding programs. Thus, sixteen rapeseed genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design...

In order to assessment of relationships between effective traits on grain yield and also determination of cause and effect relationships between of them, 121 native and exotic cultivars available in the collection of Rice Research Institute of Iran were evaluated in a simple lattice design (11×11) with two replications for 12 important agronomic traits. The results of analysis of variance showe...

Rice is one of the high water consuming crops and it is important to utilize methods in its production to promote water use efficiency. In order to achieve this purpose, a split plot experiment was conducted in direct-seeding of rice in Kazerun region of Fars province, Iran, in 2007. Five irrigation treatments (full-season flooding, full-season alternating, flooding until tillering stage, flood...

     To estimate heritability and association between traits traits, 148 recombinant inbred lines and their parents (Yecora Rojo and No. 49) were evaluated in Alfa lattice design with two replications under normal and water deficit conditions during two cropping season (2013-15). Results showed that there were significant differences between genotypes for all studied traits. The estimated herit...
