long term use of fallow in wheat-based cropping system of dry and semi-dry lands can increase erosion and decrease soil fertility. legumes as substituting crops for fallow could improve sustainability in this area. this study was conducted to evaluate the substituting of some legumes for fallow in a 2-yr wheat rotation at research stations in north khorasan province (natural resources research ...

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of vermicompost and biostimulant on the growth and biomass in the coriander plant height, wet weight of plant ,dry weight of plant and biomass yield. The experiment was carried out as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture C...

  Abstract Two experiments with factorial arrangements on the basis of randomized complete block design in three replications were conducted in 2007 and 2008, to evaluate chlorophyll content index (CCI), fluorescence of chlorophyll, proline content and grain yield of three soybean cultivars (Williams, Zan and L17) under a non-saline (control) and three saline (3, 6 and 9 ds/m NaCl) conditions...

Crop productivity continues to decline due to a wide array of biotic and abiotic stresses. Salinity is one of the worst abiotic stresses, as it causes huge losses to crop yield each year. Kinetin (Kn) has been reported as plant growth regulator since long, but its role in improving plant growth and food quality under saline conditions through mediating phytohormonal cross-talk is poorly studied...

Herbicide plays the main role in guaranteeing the quantity and quality of food. Soybean reactive oxygen species scavenging system eliminates the herbicides’ side effects on the plant by activating antioxidant enzymes, which affects the yield. So, we investigated this procedure to reveal the effect of herbicides on food production. Methods: Experiments were carried out in two locations of Alborz...

A field experiment was conducted on deep vertisols of Bhopal, India to evaluate the manural potential of three organic manures: farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), phosphocompost (PC) vis-a-vis 0%, 75% and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer-NPK and to find out the most productive cropping system at various combinations of organic manures and chemical fertilizers. The seed yield of inte...

abstractbackground and objectives the oilseeds after cereal, the world's second largest food supply make up. environmental stress has always been one of the most important factors reducing crop yield and production are gone and counter or reduce the effects of stress as a useful strategy to increase the quality and quantity of the products has been considered. flooding conditions are said ...

to study the response of yield,yield components,protein and oil content of soybean cultivars to delay in planting in shirvan region, an experiment was conducted at research farm of the faculty of agriculture, shirvan in 2010. in this study, nine soybean cultivars (habit, hack, black hack, cencutry, cloumbos, clark, sahar, zane and willams) were evaluated at different sowing dates (20 may, 4 jun...

Previous research indicates a correlation between leaf area index (LAI) and yield of full-season soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], which is a single crop planted early in the season. Leaf area index values of at least 3.5-4.0 in the reproductive stages are required for maximum potential yield. It is unknown how yields of double-crop soybean, which is planted late into harvested small grain fi...
