An investigation was carried out with 48 genotypes of pea obtained through line x tester mating and were tested using a randomized block experimental design three replications. The result showed highly significant difference for all the 14 characters under study. variability, heritability genetic advance as percent mean studied characters. A high genotypic coefficient variation observed traits ...

velvetleaf (abutilon theophrasti) is one of the most important weeds of soybean fields in golestan province. a field experiment was conducted in gorgan agricultural research station in 2007 to determine the critical period for velvetleaf control in williams soybean (glycine max (l.) merr.) cultivar using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. treatments were included two sets o...

A chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) collection consisting of 445 Kabuli-type collected from different locations Iran was evaluated based on six qualitative and 14 quantitative morphological descriptors. Chickpea accessions were widely varied in plant height, the number pods per plant, dry weight, 100-grain grain yield, harvest index. Grain yield positively correlated with (r = 0.39**), pod fertilit...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and the relationships between studied characteristics with seed storage proteins, 60 genotypes with three colors (white, red and pinto bean) were studied using an augmented design with three blocks and four varieties as controls. the majority of studied traits were significantly different between large and small s...

In order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of Zn and Mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. Williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. Treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two lev...

Chickpea is the second most important legume crop largely grown under semi-arid tropics where terminal drought is one of the major constraints for its productivity. A trait-based selection had been considered more beneficial in drought tolerance breeding to overcome the environmental influence on drought yields. Large number of traits had been suggested in literature, with less indication on th...

in order to evaluate times and rate applications of zinc fertilizer on quantity and quality of faba bean, an experiment was carried out to form factorial in randomized of complete block design with four replications at farm research of gonbad kavous university during 2009 – 2010. two times of application were including before flowering and beginning of pod setting and five rates of application ...

this study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

Cowpea is an important grain legume of arid and semiarid regions of Asia and Africa. Productivity of cowpea is low and stagnant. Conventional breeding approaches aimed at improvement of yield per se have not been successful so far in breaking the yield barrier. Manipulation of physiological processes such as photosynthesis is expected to yield positive results. A land race ‘Goa local’ with a ve...
