Abstract:   This research was conducted to investigate the effect of sowing date on growth and yield of five rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars. The experimental design consisted of four randomized complete blocks (CRDB) in a split-plot arrangement. Four convetional sowing dates (11 September, 27 September, 12 October and 27 October) as main plots and five rapeseed cultivars (RGS00...

In order to examine the responses of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) to drought stress at different growth stages, four breeded genotypes and a local one of proso millet were selected and planted in a split-plot design with five irrigation treatments and three replications.This experiment was conducted in two locations, Birjand and Sarbisheh. Irrigation treatments included well - watered, drou...

Grain yield has a usually the low heritability, consequently to predict this trait it is recommended to use some morphological characters having a high heritability with high correlation with grain yield. To study of relationships between traits and to find out traits having the high influence on grain weight, 36 winter wheat cultivars were planted through a randomized complete block design wit...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is one of the most important factors in reducing yield and barley production in rainfed arid regions, and counteracting or reducing the effect of stresses as a useful solution to increase barley yield. Therefore, improvement of stress-tolerant and suitable barley cultivars for arid and semi-arid regions is essential. Material and Me...

With the aim of comparing the grain yield and yield components of 16 oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) mutant lines with cultivars Talayeh, Zarfam, Express and Okapi as check cultivar an experiment was conducted based on  randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-2016 cropping season in experimental field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute (SPII) in Karaj. Analysi...

This experiment was carried out to study the effect of irrigation intervals and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on chlorophyll index, yield and yield components of grain sorghum. A factorial experiment was done based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the Agriculture Research Station faculty of Agriculture, Bu- Ali Sina University in growing season of 2011. Irri...
