a breeding program was started in safiabad agricultural research center in 1999, to produce an improved maize hybrid with a relative heat stress tolerance. consequently at 2005 a few s6 lines with having moderately tolerance to high temperature were obtained. these combinates were then evaluated for three consecutive years in three sub-tropical regions of the country includes khzestan, ilam and...

to study genetic diversity and drought tolerance in sesame genotypes, an experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 was conducted at the agricultural research field, university of birjand under stress and non-stress conditions. the aim of this study was the testing of yield, tolerance index and bi-plot analysis. materials included genotypes birjand, kh...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

to study the effect of variable irrigation in spring on water use efficiency, quantity and quality of root and sugar yield of two sugar beet cultivars shirin and rasolan, an experiment was conducted at safiabad agriculctura research center during 2003-04 and 2004-05 cropping seasons. the experiment was designed in  a split plot with four replications in which five water supply treatments 25, 50...

this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...
