safflower is an oilseed crop with high adaptability to rainfed conditions of iran. it is native crop in iran and due to some morphological characters specially root system it shows good resistance to drought stress. in present investigation to study genetic variation in fall planting of safflower in rainfed condition 100 genotypes were evaluated in a 10×10 simple lattice square design with two ...

plant population density (ppd) and nitrogen (n) have large effects on chickpea growth and yield. to study these effects on chickpea (var. kourosh) a factorial experiment (4×3) in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research farm of college of agriculture & natural science, karaj (iran) in 2006. four ppd treatments were 16, 32, 48 and 64 plant m-2 and n amo...

in order to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield component of potato, (solanum tuberosum l.) and researching for direct and indirect effects of some important agronomic traits, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. chlorop...

introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...

A field study was conducted in northern France over two consecutive years to evaluate the combined effect of conventional tillage (CT) vs no till (NT) with or without cover crops (cc) and nitrogen (N) fertilization on various agronomic traits related to N use efficiency in winter wheat. Five years after conversion of CT to NT, significant increases in N use efficiency, N utilization efficiency,...
