Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated...

In this study the artificial pollination of pistachio was investigated. Two types of pollen of local selective genotypes (Q1 and Q2) which were different pollinizers were used. The experiment had six treatments. Qazvini and Ohadi cultivars were pollinated with supplementary pollinations as treatment which was covered with cotton bag, natural pollination as a control which was not covered and tw...

in order to study of variation and relationships between morphological traits with yield and its components in three grain sorghum cultivars (kimia, sepideh and payam) and nine promising lines (mgs1-mgs9) received from seed and plant improvement institute, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with four replications in birjand agricultural research station, in two grow...

A 2-yr field and laboratory study investigated insect resistance of the maize, Zea mays L., inbred Tex6, which has previously demonstrated resistance to Aspergillus ear rot and aflatoxin production, relative to susceptible inbred B73. Field studies indicated significantly greater resistance to insect feeding of V4-V8 growth stage Tex6 plants compared with B73 plants in both years, primarily to ...

The performance of ear recognition is influenced by pose variation. For the similar position of ear and profile face, a multimodal recognition method is proposed based on the feature fusion of ear and profile face information. A model for ear and profile face feature fusion and recognition is built. The Log-Gabor features of ear and profile face are first extracted separately, and two features ...

DCPTA (2-diethylaminoethyl-3, 4-dichlorophenylether) and CCC (2-chloroethyltrimethyl- ammonium chloride) have a great effect on maize growth, but applying DCPTA individually can promote the increase of plant height, resulting in the rise of lodging percent. Plant height and lodging percent decrease in CCC-treated plants, but the accumulation of biomass reduce, resulting in yield decrease. Based...

In this study, we examined the genetic control of the number of leaves above the first ear in maize. The F₂ generations and the backcrosses were obtained from 2 contrasting lines for this trait. All generations were assessed in a completely randomized block design with 2 replications. The number of leaves above the ear was counted when the plants were in the tasseling stage at the level of plan...

in order to evaluate the interference effect natural population weeds and plant density, an experiment with randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with 4 replications was conducted in 2006 in a field experiment at ramin agricultural and natural resources university, khouzestan. treatments included two factor, plant density of corn at three levels (4, 7 and 10 plants m-2) and ...

in order to study the effects of sowing date and plant density on forage yield and some morphological characteristics of corn, an experiment was conducted in gorgon research station in 2008. in this experiment two sowing date (18 april and 21 june) and six plant densities (25000, 45000, 65000, 85000, 105000, and 125000 plant per hectare) were evaluated in form of factorial experiment (2×6) with...
