Correlation coefficient analysis conducted on 22 triticale x bread wheat derivatives along with six checks to select true- breeding derivative(s) for future hybridization programme with tolerance to drought and cold stress conditions as well as better quality traits revealed significant correlation of grain yield with spikelets per spike, biological yield, harvest index, leaf area index. Intere...

Correlation coefficient and path analysis studies was conducted with eight parents and their 28 F1 crosses for twelve component characters including seed yield and revealed significant positive association of pods per plant, harvest index and clusters per plant with seed yield in parental generation whereas in F1 generation, significant positive association of clusters per plant, pods per plant...

A multitrait selection index (I T ) for Zimbabwean Jersey cattle was constructed. The breeding objective was defined in terms of production and functionality traits. The production component of the index included milk yield (M), butterfat yield (F), protein yield (P), butterfat percent (F%), and protein percent (P%), while the functional component included the somatic cell count (SCC). The inde...

in order to evaluate the effects of yield and yield components and weed diversity and density in row intercropping for wheat and canola, a field experiment was conducted based on a complete randomized block design with three replications at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during two growing seasons of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. treatments included four pa...

drought stress is considered as the most important environmental abiotic stress, affecting grain yield of crop plants especially in arid and semi arid regions. increasing and utilization of the genetic diversity can be a useful strategy in breeding for drought resistance. in this study, twenty iranian durum wheat landraces along with two check cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete b...

to survey the effects of chemical and biological phosphorus on the yield and essential oil of satureja hortensis l. as an important medicinal plant, factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replicates at research station of faculty of agriculture, urmia university in 2011. the treatments were chemical phosphorus fertilizer with four levels (0, 50, ...

this research was carried out for evaluation of competitive ability of some wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) of recommended wheat in dargaz region with common weed of feral rye (secale cereale). experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 growing season. experimental factors were included four wheat cultivars of says...
