milk thistle is used traditionally as a hepaprotective agent and supportive treatment of liver disorders. the most problems in milk thistle harvest are tall height, seed shedding and being spinous. in this trial, effects of 3 native populations (p1: isfahan violet flower, p 2: ahvaz white flower and p3: ahvaz violet flower) and 3 topping levels (t1:control, t2: topping in 7 leaves stage and t3:...

in order to evaluate phenological and morphological responses of cold tolerant chickpea genotypes to entezary culture in mashhad conditions, 81 cold tolerant chickpea accessions were cultured during growing year 2006-2007 in research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was carried out in lattice design with three replications including 9 blocks per rep...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

in order to evaluate a better sowing date of chickpea cultivars in dry land conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research station of bahar (hamadan province) during 2005-2006 cropping season. two planting time included winter and spring and four chickpea cultivars (cvs.) including one local (check) and three improved cv...

this study carried out in a factorial layout on completely randomaized block design with three replications, to evaluate the above- and below- ground competition between sesame (sesamum indicum) and pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus), and their impacts on sesame yield and yield component. the experimental treatments were all combination of crop-weed competition (shoot competition, root competitio...

in order to investigate the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of chickpea genotypes, determining the best drought tolerance index and genotypes, an experiment carried out in the saatlu agricultural research station of uromia in 2008-2009. the experiment was split plot based on the randomized complete blocks design with four replications, in which, four levels of irrigation as ...
