in order to investigate the effective factors on the reduction of rain-fed wheat yield, an experiment in 45 fields was conducted in the township of bandar-gaz in 2012. in this research, all information such as crop management operations, seedbed preparation, cultivar, site preparation, seed sowing, weed combating, planting and harvesting issues, time of toxicant spraying, used seed rate were co...

Super high-density (SHD) olive orchards are rapidly expanding since the first plantation was set up in Spain in the 1990s. Because there are no long-term studies characterizing these systems, it is unknown if densities above a certain threshold could trigger competition among fully-grown trees, compromising their development. Over 14 years we have evaluated the performance of the major olive cu...

in order to evaluate the effects of sugar beet sowing date, planting density and cultivar on solar radiation interception, the present study was conducted in kamal-abad agricultural research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in 2005 and 2006. the experiment arranged was in split-split plots based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications. the sowing date, plan...

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint to rice production and Zn is also often deficient in humans with rice-based diets. Efforts to breed more Zn-efficient rice are constrained by poor understanding of the mechanisms of tolerance to deficiency. Here we assess the contributions of root growth and root Zn uptake efficiency, and we seek to explain the results in terms of specific mechanisms. ...
