Agronomic research suggests Australian farmers may increase wheat yields by 13 to 47% and reduce risk of crop failures by sowing crops earlier than is currently practiced. This study investigated the potential to use remote sensing to assist in evaluating changes in farmer sowing date practices in response to research recommendations, using study paddocks in the southern Australian cropping reg...

in order to apply suitable methods for sugar beet seed sowing and determine the relation between yield and growth parameters in saline soils, two salt tolerant progeny lines were sown by five methods for two years (1995 and 1996) using a split plot design. growth parameters such as leaf area index, crop growth rate, total dry weight and relative growth rat were analysed. ph and ec of the soil a...

this study was conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm, iran, golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on azivash (corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. treatments were four sowing dates such as may 5, jun 5, ju...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) grown in semiarid regions is often exposed to short periods of high-temperature (HT) stress during reproductive development. Objectives of this research were (i) to quantify the effects of short episodes of HT stress during reproductive development on physiological, growth, and yield processes of grain sorghum and (ii) to identify the stage(s) most sensitive ...

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

abstract nowruzak (salvia leriifolia) of lamiaceae family has a good capability for domestication in khorasan’s natural habitats. in order to investigate the effect of sowing design and depth in seedling emergence and permanence, a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design was performed with three replications. results indicated sowing design in all three parameters, sow...

Coriander is an annual and herbaceous plant, belong to the apiaceae family. This plant is cultivated world widely. It is well known for having medicinal properties. The aim of this experiment was to study seed quality of species grown in Kermanshah conditions. The experiment was carried out in research farm, Campus of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. Coriand...

An experiment was conducted to study the different biochemical constituents imparting resistance and susceptibility rust of sorghum disease caused by Puccinia purpurea Cooke. For this, five resistant (R) susceptible (S) genotypes were inoculated at 30 days after sowing (DAS) studied both inoculation (DAI). Reduction in chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, soluble protein, reducing sugar, non su...
