production of high rapeseed yield is important in rapeseed breeding programs. with regards to the importance of estimation of general combining ability (gca), specific combining ability (sca), additive and dominance genetic variances, gene action, heterosis and heritability, an experiment was carried out in a 9×9 diallel design. nine parents with 36 crosses were studied in a randomized complete...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is one of the important sources of vegetable oils and protein-rich meals. Canola ranks third in global production of oilseed crops and fifth among economically important crop next to wheat, rice, maize, and cotton. The present work was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effect of Ethylmethyl sulphonate (EMS) on the yield contributing characters of brassica nap...

in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical phosphorous fertilizers and various proportions of maize and grass pea intercropping on yield and yield components of both crops, two experiments were conducted simultaneously in research farm of kerman university and commercial convention farm of bardsir-dashtkar in 2009-2010. the experimental design at two regions was randomized c...

ABSTRACT Erythrina velutina Willd. (Fabaceae) is drought tolerant and has the potential for reforestation in semi-arid region. The response of its seeds to environmental conditions each production area influences their size, weight, physiological potential, health. Thus, this study aimed assess how different regions Paraíba influence biometric characteristics E. seeds. Seeds from 19 mother plan...
