Scarcity of water for irrigation is an alarming issue of Pakistan and the problem is being magnified rapidly with the passage of time. Shortage of water is thus, a limiting factor in increasing per unit area wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield that is staple food of most of the people. Eventually, the gap between production and consumption is widening day by day and Pakistan is now suffering fro...

Objective: Wheat is the most important crop in Iran. Self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. In spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in Iran is less than its world average. Methods: In order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...

abstract in order to study of relationship between timing and duration of phenological events and grain yield of wheat plants, an experiment was performed at moghan college of agriculture and natural resources-university of mohaghegh ardabili research farm during 2010-2011. the plant materials (81 wheat cultivars) were evaluated using a simple lattice design with two replications under irrigate...

in order to determine the practical method to predict economic production of wheat in competition with feral rye by using regression models, a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in dargaz. iran. experimental factors were included wheat cultivars (sayson, alvand, chamran and sepahan) and feral rye densities (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80...

the introduction of canola (oilseed rape; brassica napus l.) as a new source of vegetable oil production in iran prompts evaluation of the performance of this crop under different tillage systems. a field experiment was conducted to determine the impact of depth and intensity of tillage on soil physical properties, crop establishment and yield of irrigated winter canola in a loam soil (typic ha...

to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

introduction determining the proper time for planting under different climate depends on the factors such as rainfall, temperature and length of day which are the most important aspects of crop production. its importance is because of the severity of these effects on different genotypes to achieve potential production. because different genotypes respond differently to planting delays. sowing d...

a field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (d1, d2 and d3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (n1, n2 and n3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha nitrogen, respectively). the experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design in three replicates. results indicated t...
