A two-year study (2007-2008) was carried out to explore the effect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on yield, dry matter and harvest index of Marfona potato cultivar in Isfahan Agricultural Research Center, Iran. A randomized complete block design with a split plot arrangement with three replications was used. The main plots were three levels of nitrogen (100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1) an...

In order to evaluate effect of planting date and plant density on grain yield, yield components and some quality and morphological traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an experiment was conducted at the research center of agricultural and natural resources of west Azerbaijan in Urmia rain-fed research farm during 2005-2006 growing season in a split plot arrangement, based on a completely ra...

To increase grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and nitrogen apparent recovery fraction (NARF) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out in Karaj Soil and Water Research Station farm for two consecutive growing seasons in 2004-05 and 2005-06. The experimental design was RCBD with 6 treatments (T1= Control T2= 150 kg ha-1 of N as urea in 3-split applications T3= 1/3 N...

Borage (Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant and its production to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry has a high value. The objectives of this work were to evaluate water quality and different fertilizer systems on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of borage. The experiment was conducted as a split-plot arrangement based on compelet block design with ...

Modification of planting season from spring to autumn in order to use green water, has been introduced as an effective and consistent agronomic strategy with climate change. For this purpose and in order to increase the cultivation of autumn sugar beet as a strategic crops in increasing the self-sufficiency of sugar in the country, it is necessary to implement research programs including determ...
