Harvest index is a measure of success in partitioning assimilated photosynthate. An improvement of harvest index means an increase in the economic portion of the plant. Our objective was to identify genetic markers associated with harvest index traits using 203 O. sativa accessions. The phenotyping for 14 traits was conducted in both temperate (Arkansas) and subtropical (Texas) climates and the...

In order to study seed yield and seed yield components in bean under reduced irrigation condition and assessment drought tolerance of genotypes, 15 lines of White beans were evaluated in two separate RCB design with 3 replications under stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties in terms of traits under study, indicating...

to study the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of some important agronomic traits associated with yield in white beans, 30 genotypes of white bean were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with four replications in two environments under water stress and non stress conditions. analysis of variance for most of the traits showed significant differences among genotypes, indicating t...

Best nitrogen management practices are the pre-requisite to warrant high maize yield. Thus, experiments were conducted to study the “effect of tillage and split application of nitrogen on hybrid maize” under semi-arid conditions of Pakistan, during fall 2008 and 2009. The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design with split-plot arrangement, replicated three times in a net p...

short growing season in cold regions is an important factor in not achieving a maximum root yield in sugar beet crop. in an investigation on possible ways to limit the effect of short season culture on the crop, six harvest dates and three sugar beet varieties were considered. the experiment was conducted as a factorial with randomized complete block design in three replications, from 1996-1998...

in order to investigate the effect of insufficient irrigation on remobilization percent and plant dry mater in three spring safflower (cartamus tinctorius l.) genotypes, a field experiment was conducted at research farm, faculty of agriculture, the university of birjand, iran, during 2008-2009, as a spilt plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications. irrigat...

considering importance of baby corn as a new food, this study was conducted to evaluate effect of different sowing date; planting density and harvest methods on growth and yield of baby corn ksc403su varieties in agricultural research center and natural resources of khorasan razavi province during on 2007-2008. was considered at three levels of sowing date (14th  june, 3th  july, 24th july) as ...

background and objectives: production and use of fertilizers in common agriculture have been many environmental problems. while the application of organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers have a important role in soil fertility, increase quality of production and safety of agricultural ecosystems. pumkin, is an important annual herbaceous plant belongs to the cucurbitaceae family due...
