To study the effects of planting date and density on yield and its components in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under dryland conditions of Khorram-Abad, an experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 growing season at the Agricultural Research Station of Lorestan Weather Department. Three sowing dates (March 6, March 21, and April 5) and two chickpea genotypes (Greet and Flip 93-93) wit...

In order to investigate the effect of sugar plant effluent on shoot solute percentage, yield components and grain yield of two wheat cultivars, a two year field experiment was conducted on a farm near Eghlid sugar plant during 2004-2005. Treatments consisted of two wheat cultivars (Alamot and Zarin) and two irrigated treatment: irrigation with effluent and irrigation with spring water (control)...

An experiment was conducted at Rasht Rice Research Institute, in 2001 to study trait relationships and to determine the direct and indirect effects of different characteristics on grain yield of rice (Orgza sativa L.). A 9x2 factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with 3 replications was used. The two factors were 9 cultivars, namely: Hashemi, Ali Kazemi, Binam, Sepeedroud, Nem...

Recently, application of biofertilizers has been introduced as a new strategy in crop nutrition. In order to investigate the effect of application methods of biofertilizer in combination with nitrogen levels on yield and yield components of weed-infested triticale a field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University in 2013-14 growing seas...

Mutagenesis has been one of the important sources of genetic diversity and Plant mutants can be important bio-resources for crop breeding and functional genomics studies. Breeding conventional methods for generating of genetic variability are of low efficiency. We showed that treatment of seeds of rice(Hashemi cultivar) with 0.8% EMS for 8 h caused visible phenotypic variations on M2 rice mutan...

To study the genetic control of grain yield and its components in rice using Hayman graphical method, 56 progenies obtained from diallel mating with eight parents (64 genotypes in total) were evaluated using randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of the Rice Research Institute of Iran in 2013. Agronomic traits, grain yield and its components were measured and...

To compare the yield and yield components of 10 promising dryland barley genotypes with a conventional cultivar (Reihan03), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design in Miyaneh region in the 2010-2011 growing season, and their agronomic and morphological traits were recorded. Genotypes were significantly different in terms of all the studied traits, and genoty...
