in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with...

optimum management of intra- and interspecific competitions are key subject in most agroecosystems. the objective of this experiment was the study effect of intra- and interspecific competitions and n rates on yield and yield components of wheat which was carried out in agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012. the experimental design was split–plot based on r...

Since many of the quantitative plant characters of economic values are highly influenced by environmental condition, the progress in breeding in such a population is primarily conditioned by the magnitude, nature and inter-relations of genotypic and non-genotypic variations in plant characters. Therefore we estimated phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlation coefficients and path coef...

'Dwarf stature' maize variety offers promises to withstand unfavorable growth environments of Kharif season. But, for developing such variety, dwarf stature inbred lines must be available. Here, twenty-four F3 populations of white maize were evaluated though assessment of their genetic variability, heritability, and character association for selection of dwarf stature promising lines based on y...

to study the effect of seed sowing rate, different levels of nitrogen and different sowing dates on canola cultivar hyola401, a field experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 at safiabad agricultural research center. the design was a split split plot in a completely randomized block basis of 3 replications. main plots consisted of 3 levels of sowing dates (6, 26 nov and 16 dec), sub plots of 3...

Water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. In order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Agricu...
