African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...

the present investigation was carried out to study the variability, heritability, correlations and path coefficient analysis in 14 kabuli type chickpea genotypes during three successive cropping seasons (2011-14), in a randomized complete block design with four replications. combined analysis suggested significant differences between genotypes for most of characteristics. the highest phenotypic...

this research was investigated to study relationship among seed yield, seed yield components and morphological traits and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield of 100 safflower genotypes in two water environments (normal and drought stress) at research farm of isfahan university of technology during 2012. seed yield had positive correlation with number of head per plant, seed per head...

Water stress and soil nutrients affect the growth of medicinal herbs as well as the quantity and quality of their essential oils. The effect of drought stress and different fertilizers on yield and morphological traits of Ajowan was studied in a split-plot experiment on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in Qaen, Iran. The main plot was devoted to irrigation...

Twenty four lines were crossed with two testers in an L x T mating design to estimate the combining ability for seed yield in sunflower. Non-additive genetic variance played a preponderant role in the inheritance of all the characters studied viz., days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, head diameter, volume weight, hundred seed weight and seed yield per plant. The lines 27, 43...

background and objectives: milk thistle (silybum marianum), a medicinal plant of the asteraceae family that have been used long time ago, in the treatment of liver disease. sowing date of this plant has not been determined, therefore, this study was necessary. this plant was identified as a weed, this plant is identified as a weed, while silymarin in the seeds are used in the anti-hepatitis and...

This research was made during the 2011 and 2012 growing periods in the trial filed of "Research Station for Management of Soil Water and Desertification" according to “Randomized Blocks Design” with 3 replications. Research material was the following chickpea genotype; CA119, CA128, CA149, CA150, CA222, CA250, CA254 and other 2 commercial varieties named as Gökçe and Yaşa. Some agronomical char...
