physical characteristics of agricultural products are the most needed parameters in the design of grading, handling, processing and packing systems. among physical characteristics; dimensions, mass, volume, projected area as well as surface area are the important factors in sizing systems. for an assessment of morphological and physical characters in walnut, four genotypes of sizable kernels, l...

to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

light, amber and dark colored kernels were rated by eye on a scale of 3 different genotypes (zh1, zh2 and zh3). the oil content was measured using the soxhlet extraction method, ranged from 57.26 to 68.29%, for zh1 (light) and zh2 (amber) respectively. fatty acid compositions were measured using gas chromatography. the main fatty acids were linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids, respectively. als...

fusarium head blight (fhb) is an important disease in wheat worldwide that reduces grain yield, quality as well as contaminates grains to the mycotoxins. thirty spring wheat genotypes including 28 bread wheat and two durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for fhb under a randomized complete block design with three replications. grain yield and its components were evaluated by using two environmen...

abstract to study the effects of xenia and methaxenia on the pistachio nut, 4 male genotypes from among all male genotypes provided by rafsanjan pistachio research institute were selected. the flowering period of the chosen genotypes was the same as 3 female cultivars of kalleghoochi, ohadi, and ahmadaghaii. by using split plot in the form of completely randomized blocks design, we conducted va...

in this research the quality of walnut kernels under impact loading were studied. due to unavailability of specific varieties of walnut in iran, the tests were carried out on the available genotypes. three different genotypes from walnut orchards of azarshar region were selected and were collected in 2009. a drop test device was designed and constructed to perform the experiments. the impact te...
