A field experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi (winter) season of 2008-09 to observe the efficacy of two herbicides on the yield of lentil (BARI masur-5). Paraxon, Whipsuper, Ronstar and Topstar were the herbicidal treatments applied after sowing of seeds and two leaf stage of weeds according to their mode of action. Dry weight of weed sample...

this study was conducted to evaluate traits that have an effect on yield, and genetic variation for these traits, including dry matter accumulation, remobilization, and traits associated with them, in 10 grain sorghum genotypes obtained from the national plant gene bank of iran under moisture stress conditions. field trials were carried out in the 2008 cropping season using split-plot arrangeme...

in order to adapt the results of previous researches on annual forage legumes in zanjan province to cold regions condition of iran, yield and quality characters of two outstanding species namely grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.) and common vetch (vicia sativa l.) were evaluated in summer fallow cultivation condition for one year in 28 locations over 11 provinces of the country. in the variance an...

this research was carried out for evaluation of competitive ability of some wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) of recommended wheat in dargaz region with common weed of feral rye (secale cereale). experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 growing season. experimental factors were included four wheat cultivars of says...

this experiment was carried out in experimental farm of agricultural faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during 2010. the design was split plot with three replications. main plots were the medicinal plant species consist of: blond psyllium (plantago ovate forssk.), clasping peperweed (lepidium perfoilatum l.), qodumeh shirazi (alyssum homolocarpum l.) dragon's head (lalementia iberi...

A field experiment was conducted during 2006-07 and 2007-08 at Ludhiana to study the effect of different agronomic practices on growth, grain yield, malt yield and losses of malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).The study revealed that plant height, dry matter accumulation, grain and straw yield were statistically at par with different method of sowing during both the years. Similar trend was also o...

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

the effects of an azotobacter chrococum isolate (strain ag11) and vermicompost and their combined effects on a rain-fed winter wheat (var. zagros) nutrient uptake and growth and soil water content were investigated with a farm trial.  the dry matter yield was determined in 5 occasions. gravimetric soil water content, soil microbial respiration and the number of azotobacter were determined at sa...
