a field study was conducted to evaluate the agronomic response of eight isolines of cv. clark on a clay loam soil (at karaj-iran, 35048´) to four plant population densities of 11.3, 18.5, 68.5, and 103.4 plants per square metre. significant yield increase was obtained as a result of higher plant density. differences among the cv. clark isolines were significant (p

Four fibre crops (hemp, kenaf, maize and sorghum) considered amongst the most suitable for the conditions of Northern Italy were compared in 1995 and 1997, over two irrigation regimes (rainfed conditions and restoration of 100% ETp) and in two locations (Bologna and Milano). Three harvests were carried out on each crop at different development stages. At each harvest time data on yield and yiel...

kochia is a halophyte plant and is a good source of forage for livestock under saline irrigation. in order to investigate the salinity effect on morphological and forage characteristics of kochia, an experiment was conducted. three saline waters (5.2, 10.5 and 23.1 ds m-1) and three kochia ecotypes (birjand, borujerd and sabzevar) were allocated as main and sub plots, respectively, in a split p...

the present experiment was carried out to investigate the nutritive value of banana tree leaves and stems silage by use of in vitro gas production and as well in situ nylon bag techniques. experimental treatments were comprised of: 1- stems and leaves of banana trees (control), 2- stems and leaves of banana trees’ silage without addition of any additive, 3- stems and leaves of banana trees’ sil...
