The unpredictability and large fluctuation of the climatic conditions in rainfed regions do affect spring wheat yield and grain quality. These variations offer the opportunity for the production of better quality wheat. The effect of variable years, locations and sowing managements on wheat grain yield and quality was studied through field experiments using three genotypes, three locations for ...

Herbage yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) depends on forage management or environmental conditions that change C and N resource acquisition, and endogenous plants factors such as root organic reserves and number of active meristems. The aim of this work is to study the influence of two sowing dates in summer (12 July or 9 August), N fertilization (0 or 100 kg ha(-1)) and/or irrigation appli...

heat stress is one of the main obstacles for crop production in many areas of the world including southwest of iran. in order to evaluation the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of wheat, an experiment was conducted during 2010-2011 under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress (late sowing date) conditions on 11 wheat genotypes including yavaro...

Mustard is Bangladesh's leading oil crop, produced only during the winter (rabi) season. The sowing date a key factor determining mustard's optimum growth and development. Because of global warming, gradual changes in season weather parameters over time creating challenge mustard cultivation. Thus, present investigation assessed role different planting dates on several modern varieties to discl...

an experiment conducted to study the effects of transplanting dates on rapeseed (brassica napus l.) yield and its components as second crop after rice in agriculture faculty of ghlilan university. this research was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 3 replications on the pf (sarigol) cultivar. treatments consisted various dates of transplanting in cluding 1st november, ...

abstractbackground and objectives: all changes in the development stages of plants results in the change of one or more yield components and finally, the ultimate yield and manipulation of these periods means to create new possibilities for increasing yield. accordingly, planting date has a significant impact on plant growth and development during the growth season, so that any shift in plantin...

Canola sensitivity to delayed sowing date should be managed in such a way that the observance of crop rotation with less reduced in seed yield. The research was conducted to evaluate the yield variation of Hyola401 hybrid, affected by sowing date and nitrogen fertilizer treatments. In this study, the effect of planting date and different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on effective characteristi...
