in order to study the effect of mallow weed competition and nitrogen (n) rates on grain yield and yield components of wheat cv. chamran, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment was designed as a split-plot with three replications and additive series. the n application rates were assigned in the main-plots (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg.n.ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of target common...

A field experiment was conducted on deep vertisols of Bhopal, India to evaluate the manural potential of three organic manures: farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), phosphocompost (PC) vis-a-vis 0%, 75% and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer-NPK and to find out the most productive cropping system at various combinations of organic manures and chemical fertilizers. The seed yield of inte...

Chloride (Cl) as a yield and growth-limiting nutrient has been the object of experimental attention for the last several decades. Long-term experiments were conducted from 1996 to 2002 at Hennessey and Perkins, Oklahoma to evaluate the response of winter wheat grain yield and nitrogen (N) uptake to 0, 15 and 30 kg Cl ha rates. A randomized complete block experimental design with three replicati...

Intercropping often results in increasing production than sole per unit land area, but theunderlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Plants showed different physiologicalcharacteristics in intercropping and sole. However, less information was shown the relationshipsbetween plant aboveground biomass (AB), phosphorus accumulation (PB) and remobilizationand the yield advantage. Here, field exper...

In years 2007-2008 field experiment with spring wheat was conducted on the parcels (14 m ) with 2m deep concrete walls, filled with six different soils. The goal of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of soil quality on yield and technological properties of spring wheat varieties. The results of the conducted experiment showed that the highest level of spring wheat yielding were obtai...

to identify important attributes/factors that contribute to grain and biological yields of wheat, 9912 sets of diverse data from field studies were extracted, and supervised attribute-weighting models were employed. results showed that when biological yield was the output, grain yield, nitrogen applied, rainfall, irrigation regime, and organic content were the most important factors/attributes,...

introduction integrated nutrient management involving crop residue/green manures and chemical fertilizer is potential alternative to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhance soil quality and thereby sustain higher productivity. the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management practices and npk levels on yield components and yield of wheat....

A field experiment was conducted with four wheat varieties Raj4134, HD2733, NW 1014 and K9006 for characterization of heat stress tolerance traits under heat stress condition. Heat stress was induced by delayed sowing of 35 days from normal date of sowing so that grain filling stage of wheat could experience severe heat stress. Data related to plant height, chlorophyll content, starch content a...

soil erosion by water is the main factor of land degradation, particularly in semi-arid regions where soil productivity is usually low and lowering soil quality can severely decrease crops yields. this study was done in an area of 900 km2 in the semi-arid agricultural region of hashtroud in northwestern iran to determine the relationship between soil productivity and soil erodibility. wheat gra...

to locate the genes controlling adaptability in bread wheat using ammi (additive main effect and multiplicative interaction) model, twenty-one substitution lines derived from the parents chinese spring (recipient) and chayan (donor) were used in a randomized complete block design with three replications in three different environments in the agricultural college of razi university, kermanshah, ...
