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...

Screening of twenty-four candidate plus trees from naturally available Pongamia pinnata genetic resources was carried out to elucidate the genetic variation and relationship of pod and seed traits on germination capacity to select the best planting material for higher productivity. The experiment conducted at Forest Research Centre, Institute of Forest Productivity Mandar, Ranchi during 2005-20...

African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...

to evaluate the effect of biofertilizers on yield and yield components of a soybean cultivar (m9) under water stress condition, a study was carried out in a split plot randomized complete block design with three replications at research station of bu ali sina university in 2012. the main plots included three levels of irrigation after 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from a pan and subplots inclu...

the effects of sowing date and crop density of chickpea on population and infestation of pod borers were studied in a randomized complete block design by factorial arrangement with three replications in the chickpea growing region of greet, khorramabad in 2007 until 2009. experimental factors comprised of sowing dates (march 14, march 30, and april 21) and crop density (25, 50 and 75 plant.m-2)...

in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical phosphorous fertilizers and various proportions of maize and grass pea intercropping on yield and yield components of both crops, two experiments were conducted simultaneously in research farm of kerman university and commercial convention farm of bardsir-dashtkar in 2009-2010. the experimental design at two regions was randomized c...

Nodule CO2 fixation is of pivotal importance for N2 fixation. The process provides malate for bacteroids and oxaloacetate for nitrogen assimilation. The hypothesis of the present paper was that grain legume nodules would adapt to higher plant N demand and more restricted carbon availability at pod formation through increased nodule CO2 fixation and a more efficient N2 fixation. Growth, N2 fixat...

The effects of water stress on morphometric characteristics of wild radish seeds as well as the expression of its seed dormancy were investigated in a pot trial at Roseworthy, South Australia in 2005. This experiment was carried out in a completely randomised design with five water regimes (control, S4, S5, S6 and S8) and four replicates. The water stress was exerted by withholding irrigation a...
