Objective: An increasing number of studies have reported on shifts in timing and length of the growing season, based on phonological, satellite and climatologically studies. Changes in the timing and length of the growing season (GSL) may not only have far reaching consequences for plant and animal ecosystems, but persistent increases in GSL may lead to long-term increases in carbon storage and...

in order to assess the drought tolerance in 15 lentil genotypes, a field experiment was conducted during 2001-02 growing season in dryland agricultural research institute (dari) station of shirvan, in northern khorasan, iran, under rainfed and irrigated conditions. the experimental design was rcb with three replications. data for agronomic traits of plant height, number of empty and filled pods...

In this study, the relation between leaf area and its dimensions was estimated using a non-destructive method. This method is based on this fact that the leaf shape does not change during the growing season. In this method, leaf area during the growing season is estimated based on the dimensions of the smallest leaf in the initial stage of plant growth or at any growth stage by measuring the le...

seven maize inbred lines were crossed in a complete diallel cross design at the seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran, during the 2006 growing season. the parents and 42 f1 hybrids were grown in the research field of islamic azad university of firoozabad, firoozabad, iran, using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, during the 2007 growing season. the ha...

The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

the aim of this study was investigation the combined effect of terminal heat of last growth season and competition between plants on phenology, yield and components yield in faba bean. a field experiment with 3 sowing dates (28 november 2011, 15 december 2011 and 7 january 2012) and 4 plant densities (8, 12, 16 and 20 plants m-2) was conducted on faba bean (cv. barkat) at agricultural science r...
