to study yield and its relationships with yield components in 10 varieties of foxtail millet (kfm1 to kfm10), an experiment was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center in rcbd design with three replications for a period of three years (2003 to 2005). vegetative and reproductive characteristics of each cultivar were recordered during the growing seasons. three year results showed si...

in order to study the effect of planting date on duration of phenological periods in wheat cultivars, a randomized compelet block design experiment with four replications was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources research station. the factors were eight sowing dates (14 december, 20 january, 18 february, 20 march, 16 april, 21 may, 30 july and 6 august) an...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is used as medicinal plant in many Asian countries and has been reported to have forage quality similar to alfalfa. Fenugreek is an annual crop and may have the potential to diversify forage production systems in the central High Plains. This study evaluated forage dry matter (DM) production and the nutritive value of three fenugreek cultivars as influen...

in order to study the yield and forage quality of intercropping barley (hordeum vulgare) and mustard (sinapis alba) in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with three replications was carried out at farm research station, gonbad -e- qabus university. factors were included as three planting dates (15 november, 6 and 20 december 2006) and fo...

Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...

soil affected by salt (nacl) is a major problem worldwide and in areas with potential agriculture; lands in many countries are not enough to support crop production. the development of salt tolerant cultivars would be enhanced by better understanding of the genetic control of tolerance to salt stress. a new cereal, tritipyrum, a range of amphiploids between triticum spp. and thinopyrum spp....

production of halophyte plants with saline water and soil and feeding them to livestock is one of the most sustainable methods of conservation in desert ecosystem regions. kochia is a high salt resistant plant that can widely use as forage for livestock in arid ecosystems with lack of appropriate water and soil resources. in order to investigate potential of forage production of five different ...
