An experiment was conducted at Rasht Rice Research Institute, in 2001 to study trait relationships and to determine the direct and indirect effects of different characteristics on grain yield of rice (Orgza sativa L.). A 9x2 factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with 3 replications was used. The two factors were 9 cultivars, namely: Hashemi, Ali Kazemi, Binam, Sepeedroud, Nem...

Enhancing the quality of transplant to reduce production costs is an important in tomato production. For this reason, the effects of growth retardants and the planting date on the tomato plant (Cheff) were investigated in this study. The first experiment involved five treatments (Paclobutrazol 0, 250 and 500 mg/L and Cycocel 0, 500 and 1000 mg/L), based on a complete randomized design in Labora...
