in order to assess drought stress and planting date effects applied on original plant, on the electrical conductivity rate of the subsequent seeds, this research was performed in two parts at the research field and laboratory during spring 2008. the field experiment was performed as a completely randomized block design (crbd) with 20 treatments and three replications. treatments included the se...

Maize (Zea mays) has traditionally been a major cereal staple in southern Ghana. Through breeding and other crop improvement efforts, the zone of cultivation of maize has now extended to the northern regions of Ghana which, hitherto, were the home to sorghum and millet as the major cereals. Maize yield in the northern Ghana is hampered by three major biophysical constraints, namely, poor soil f...

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

Yield and relationships among head traits were recorded in order to better understand the effects of planting date and cultivar selection on crop quality characteristics and to help increase the efficiency of cultivar development, evaluation, and selection. A total of seven cultivars of fresh market-type cabbage (Brassica oleracea L., Capitata Group) were planted in May and June of 1999 and 200...

introduction nowadays oilseed crops are considered as the second most important sources of energy in the diet. in this regard, cultivation of oilseed crops such as safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is important due to quality of oil seed and medicinal properties. different planting dates leads to adaptation of vegetative and reproductive growth of plant to temperature, day-length and various ...
