Anethum graveolens Linn. (Umbelliferae, A. graveolens) is a widely used spice with a long history of traditional medicinal use for the treatment of various ailments. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in medicinal and aromatic plants is affected by abiotic stresses such as water deficit. This study was carried out to evaluate seed yield and essential oil of dill under five irrigation dis...

quantitative valuations of observed heterosis for 11 traits of 15 f1 hybrids generated by half diallel crosses of six diverse rice cultivars (domsefid, hashemi and binam, three iranian local cultivars; dorfak, kadous and ir30, three improved cultivars), were made in this study. fifteen f1 hybrids and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at t...

in order to produce new hybrids and evaluate the general and specific combining ability of sunflower inbred lines and restorers, four inbred lines and six restorers were selected in 2004. twenty-four f1 hybrids were derived in 2004 and evaluated on a rcbd design with three replications in 2005. the results of variance analysis showed that treatments were significantly different for all traits e...

in order to study the effect of irrigation on fatty acid composition, oil and protein content of sunflower cultivars included azargol, allstar, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted at experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university in 2007. treatments were arranged on split plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. the irrigation treat...

In order to evaluate the relationship between morphological characters in rice lines two populations at F3 generation were grown in research field of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resource University, Sari, Iran, during 2012. Statistical analysis on important agronomic traits showed that maximum standard deviation belonged to total grain number followed by filled grains per panicle and grai...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 and 2011 to investigate the optimization of nitrogen levels under different age of seedlings transplanted on growth, chlorophyll content, yield and economics of hybrid rice. Fifteen treatment combinations consisted of three levels of seedlings age (10, 20 and 30 days) and five levels of nitrogen viz. N0, N50, N100, N150 and N200 kg h...
