drought causes significant reductions in crop productivity in many parts of the world, including iran. identifying genotypes tolerant to drought stress is therefore one of the foremost goals of crop breeding programs. this study investigated the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components of new winter rapeseed lines, and identified new winter rapeseed lines tolerant to term...

water deficient is one of the most important limiting factors in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) production in arid and semiarid areas speciallyiran, which is the best approach to deal with the introduction of resistant and compatible varieties to drought stress. the response of fourteen rapeseed cultivars to water stress was studied in a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block de...

to determine sugar content and root yield variation of new sugar beet hybrids under different irrigation levels, an experiment was carried out at zarghan agricultural research station offars agricultural and natural resources research center, shiraz, iran. the study was conducted as split block based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years, 2009-10, using lin...

to assess the radiation use efficiency (rue) of different rice cultivars under transplanting (tp) and direct-sowing (ds) systems and scrutiny of weed effect, a split-plot factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011 at haraz extension and technology development center in mahmoudabad city, mazandaran. the main plots were two plant...

Delay in sowing and low precipitation (<300mm annual) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) farming is the major problem in the irrigated and rainfall lands of Iran. A factorial experiment for evaluating the effects of seed priming on wheat cultivars was carried out under laboratory, greenhouse and at two field conditions during seasons of 2008-2010. Arrangement of treatments were Zarrin, Shariar, Sa...

abstract cumin (cuminum cyminum) is one of the most important medicinal plants in iranian dry region. in order to study the effects of irrigation times and salinity stress on yield and yield components of cumin, an experiment was conducted at the research farm ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2009. factors including irrigation times (1: one time irrigation, 2: two times irrigation 3: three tim...

abstract in order to evaluate crop water stress index (cwsi) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of shiraz university, shiraz, during 2009 growing season. five wheat cultivars including shiraz, bahar, pishtaz, sistan and yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [irr...
