the present study aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of bread and durum wheat. to this end the experiment was conducted in 2010-2011 in south west of iran as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plot included four levels of nitrogen 60, 120, 180, 240 kg.ha-1 and the sub plot included four...

Successful production and development of stable and adaptable genotypes only depend on the positive results achieved from the interaction between genotype and environment that consequently has a significant impact on breeding strategies. In this regard, we conducted an experiment to study genotypic differences of 16 lines durum wheat under both zinc sufficient and deficient stress during 2014-2...

Wheat–cotton double cropping practices on a large scale in cotton belt of the Yellow RiverValley and the Yangtze River Valley in China. Field experiments were conducted to determinethe effects of wheat–cotton double cropping on cotton biomass accumulation and yieldformation during 2011/12 and 2012/13 growing seasons. Two cotton cultivars, Siza 3 (mid–latematurity) and CCRI 50 (early maturity), ...

to investigate the effect of dose and applying time of paraquat on soybean weed control, especially wild melon, factorial experiment conducted as a randomized complete block design with four replications in 2009 in dashte naz co. sari-iran. the treatments included different doses of paraquat (0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 liters per hectare of commercial material) and different growing stages of wild me...

Our sowing date experiment took place in the Demonstration Garden of Institution of Plant Sciences, Centre for Agricultural Sciences of University of Debrecen, in 2012-2014. The paper contains data of test year 2014. Our purpose, besides several other examinations, was to observe how sowing date influences the leaf area index and the activity of photosynthesis of maize hybrids, and how those fa...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. in addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. in order to screen drought tolerant genotype in chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated conditio...

Abstract In order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, Karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and Gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.Parents together with F1, F2, F3, BC1and BC2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.Grain weight per...

understanding the variation of kernel number per unit area (kno) is an important factor in respect yield and in identifying opportunities to increase potential yield. some crop models are for dependence on kernel number prediction to yield simulation. in order to quantify the relationship between kernel number per unit area and influencing parameters (environment and non-environment-based facto...
