to investigate the effects of drought stress and different combinations of animal manure with super absorbent polymer on yield and yield components of corn, a split plots design was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in fars agricultural research center in 2007. irrigation treatments were assigned as the main factor in three levels: 70, 105 and 140 mm evap...

during grain development, appropriate water status of soil has key importance for starch accumulation in grains and hormone changes. for this, the study carried out on two iranian wheat cultivars pishtaz and karaj 3 in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications under irrigated and drought in a field experiment at research farm of agriculture college...

The reconciliation of economy and environment is a key factor in achieving sustainability.The European Union wishes to achieve the sustainability of its agriculture in order to producehigh quality food materials and to manage energy crisis and the risks related to climate andmarket fluctuations. These risks can be mitigated by reducing negative impacts of agriculturalactivities on the environme...

for evaluation the effect of morpho-physiological parameters on yield and yield components of barley genotypes, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design in 4 replication in gorgan agriculture science and nature resource field experimental during 2006-2007. the trait was 10 barley genotypes: bomi, torkaman, eize, siah, sahra, 1-yeknavakht, 14g, 11g, 5g and 15g. the resul...

in order to study the effect of different nitrogen fertilizer rates and source-sink limitation treatments on yield and yield component of contrast rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment was carried out in the rice research institute of iran-deputy of mazandaran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 f...

in order to investigate the effect of various rates of phosphorus fertilizer and efficiency amount of broadcasting and banding methods on yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.), a field experiment were arranged in a split-plot design based on a randomized complete block design with four replications at the research field, ramin agricultural and natural resources university, mollathani...

water use efficiency is positively correlated with grain yield, and being used for indirect selection of high wheat yield in drought prone environments. yet little is known about genetic control of water use efficiency. in this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between 8 bread wheat to study the genetic of water use efficiency. parents and f1 progenies were plant...

Selection indices provide useful information to breeders who usually base selection on means and ranks. Knowledge on selection criteria for improving tef grain yield is very limited. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to develop selection criteria for improving tef grain yield through indirect yield component selection via a selection index. Different trait combinations along with thr...

abstract in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of three chickpea cultivars, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at mashhad. six irrigation regimes including i1= full irrigation, i2= irrigation at branching, i3= irrigation at flowering, i4= irrigation at pod formation, i5= irrigation at seed filling stage, and i6=...
