Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

irrigated barley is grown on about 50,000 hectares in the warm agro-climate zone in the south of iran. the average grain yield of barley in these areas is 2,000 kg/ha. wide adaptability and high grain yield stability are important assets for barley varieties to be grown by farmers. zahak barley cultivar was initially selected from international barley germplasm received from cymmit and based on...

Three maize hybrids (Baber, Pioneer 30P45 and Syngenta 6621) were compared for yield and yield components and correlations were worked out among the yield parameters at various nitrogen levels in an experiment conducted at Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2009. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete blocks with split plot arrangement having three replication...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...

to determine the correlation between grain yield and its components in some grain corn hybrids and their cause and effect relationships in various fertilizer application methods, an experiment was carried out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with two fertilizer application methods (urea foliar application and soil application method), four grain corn hybrids (ns 640, kons...

an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of humic acid spraying on  grain yield and yield components of wheat, in agricultural research and natural resources center of tehran province, in 2010-11. a split-plot layout within randomized complete block design with three replications were used. main plots were three irrigation treatments contains of normal irrigation, non-irriga...

in order to determine the appropriate plant density of spotted bean in yasouj, a field experiment was conducted in 2008 as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. three spotted bean cultivars (keshavarzi, talash and oshtori) were sown at five plant densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 plant.m-2). results showed that effect of plant density, cultivar and interactio...
