partitioning of photoassimilates between the sinks is one of the most important physiological processes related to the yield of crops which are affected by drought stress. therefore, the effect of drought stress in flowering and grain filling stages, on the percentage partitioning of photoassimilates among different organs was studied in 14 rapeseed cultivars in a split plot experiment based on...

Effect of genotype x environment interaction was studied on relationship between yield and three yield components in 20 genotypes of chickpea. Significant differences were found between genotypes for the three yield components at all the locations. It was found that the pattern and strength of correlation between number of seeds pod and yield, between number of seeds pod and number of pods plan...

in order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, ardabil, iran, in 2007. experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...

to investigate effects of different super absorbent polymer and animal manure ratios on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of soybean under drought stress, a split plots experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in marvdasht, iran in 2009. main factor included of irrigation with 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from pan class a and su...

sowing date and plant density are important factors in grain yield of cow pea. in order to study effect of sowing date and plant density on yield and yield components of cow pea, an experiment was conducted in research farm of ramin university of agricultural and natural resources in 2008. the experimental design was split plots in randomized complete design with four replications. the experime...

to study the nature and magnitude of gene effects, heritability and number of effective factors for grain yield and some yield components in rice, six generations viz., p1, p2, f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 were prepared from the crosses of shapasand × irfaon-215 and irfaon-215 × saleh and grown in a randomized complete design with three replications. results of analysis of variance showed significant di...

to study effect of fe and zn spraying on some characteristics of mungbean, an experiment was designed as factorial based on randomized complete block with three replications in urmia university, 2012. treatments were nutrition systems (organic, chemical, integrated and no nutrition) and micronutrients (fe, zinc, no foliar application and water spraying). the plant height, pod length, number of ...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance contributes to improving the process of generating bean genotypes adapted to these conditions. Field studies were conducted at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture ...

Three genotypes of alfalfa viz. Medicago sativa (Zhongmu No. 1, Zhongmu No. 2) and M. varia (Caoyuan No. 3) grown in the filed were investigated for the contribution of pod wall and leaves by shading all pods and leaves on July 15, 20 and 25, respectively. Date was recorded for total pod weight (TPW), pod wall weight (PWW), seed weight per pod (SWP), seed number per pod (SNP) and single seed we...
