the effects of plant densities (25, 35 and 45 plants m-2 as d1, d2 and d3 respectively), and inoculation with rhizobium bacteria (without rhizobium, with rhizobium and rhizobium + microelement application), on growth and yield were studied in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.). experiment was carried out in 2008 at research farm of the faculty of agriculture of university of mohaghegh ardabil, a fac...

to evaluate the effect of seeding rate on important agronomic traits in three winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars, two field experiments were carried out as split plot arrangement in a complete block design with three replications during 2006-2008 growing seasons. three rapeseed cultivars (okapi, modena and licord) and three seeding rates (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha)) were randomized in main p...

abstract in order to study the effect of planting density and branch pruning on growth, yield and quality of greenhouse muskmelon, a study has been conducted using a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications and three factors, including cultivar (galia-52 and mirella), branch pruning (1 and 2 branch per plant), and plant density (2, 2.4, 2.8 and 3.6 plants p...

to determine the association between genetic parameters and traits in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes, a field experiment was conducted with 17 chickpea genotypes using a randomized complete block design with four replications at the ilam agricultural and natural resources research center in the 2004 growing season. genetic parameters including genetic, environmental and phenotypic vari...

in order to investigate the effect of seed rate on seed yield and yield components of three rapeseed varieties, a split- plot experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replicates during 2008-2009 at baykola agricultural research station, neka, mazandaran province. in this experiment four seed rates (5, 7, 9 and 11 kg.ha-1) as main plots, three rapeseed cultivars (hy...

the effect of shoot pruning (2, 3 and 4 branches per plant) and fruit position selection (on main branch vs on main and lateral branches) on yield and qualitative characteristics of two greenhouse grown pepper (capsicum annuum l.) cultivars (torkal and paramo) was studied through a factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized block design, of three replications. results indicated th...
