The study was conducted during 2013/14 main cropping season in Ebinat district with the aim of studying effects seeding rates and row sowing methods on growth, yield components tef. Planting material improved tef variety ‘Quencho’ (DZ-01-387) used as a test crop for experiments. Two factors 3 (5, 7.5 & 10 kg/ha) inter-row spacing (15cm, 20cm 25cm) were combined to form 9 treatment. treatments l...

Cereals and grasses adapt their structural development to environmental conditions and the resources available. The primary adaptive response is a variable degree of branching, called tillering in cereals. Especially for heterogeneous plant configurations the degree of tillering varies per plant. Functional-structural plant modeling (FSPM) is a modeling approach allowing simulation of the archi...

Tiller leaf anatomical features of nine Alopecurus species collected from high mountainous areas in Turkey were evaluated the present study. Detailed descriptions studied taxa and an identification key generated using are given. Clustering principal coordinate analysis (PCA) methods applied based on a total 14 characters. Anatomical differences between detected characters taxonomic interest ide...

in order to study the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot yield and essential oil content of lavender, this experiment was conducted in the research institute of forest and rangelands, karaj, iran, in 2013-14. the treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha) and cow manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 ton/ha). the experimental design was a factorial experiment based on randomized ...

Tillage erosion is a potential contributor to the total soil erosion occurring within cultivated fields. No study has been carried out on tillage erosion associated with cereal-based production systems, which are the predominant form of crop production in the Canadian Prairies. Previous tillage translocation studies have focused on primary tillage implements (i.e. mouldboard and chisel ploughs)...
