abstract to evaluate the effects of the irrigation termination in different growth stages on yield and its components of autumn’s canola cultivars in isfahan region. an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 in kabotar abad research station. a split plot layout within a randomized complete block design with tree replication was used. main plots were seven level of the irrigation cut-off time (d1...

The present study were carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, NDUAT, Faizabad during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 entitled “standardization of biofortification and hydropriming for enhance seed yield and its quality parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.)” The objective of the study was assessing the comparative performance of yield and qual...

Cowpea is an important grain legume of arid and semiarid regions of Asia and Africa. Productivity of cowpea is low and stagnant. Conventional breeding approaches aimed at improvement of yield per se have not been successful so far in breaking the yield barrier. Manipulation of physiological processes such as photosynthesis is expected to yield positive results. A land race ‘Goa local’ with a ve...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. in addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. in order to screen drought tolerant genotype in chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated conditio...

Combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. Parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects, respectively. The variance due to GCA and SCA showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgar is L.) demand is increasing with an alarming rate around the world, especially in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Therefore, increased bean yield per hectare i.s the best way to meet the world demand rather than expansion of area under cultivation. The objectives of this experiment were to determine the genotypic variations for green bean and dry seed yield and ma...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...
