Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. In addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. In order to screen drought tolerant genotype in Chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated...

The goal of this study was to observe the impact of agro-management practices like, irrigation and nutrition on two pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars named Climax and Meteor at Horticultural Research Area, U.A.F. Growth parameters like Main stem Length (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf Area (cm), number of pods per plant, length of pod (cm) number of seeds per pod and reproductive attributes l...

Thirty genotypes of Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus) were evaluated to study the genetic variability on yield, yield contributing and related characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to first pod set, days to maturity, number of pods per cluster, pod length, width of pod, weight of 10 green pods, number of single podded clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and protein content. The ra...

This study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of Faba bean. To this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in Behbahan region at South eastern part of Khuzestan Province of Iran. The experimental treatments included Ni...

Explosive dehiscence ballistically disperses seeds in a number of plant species. During dehiscence, mechanical energy stored in specialized tissues is transferred to the seeds to increase their kinetic and potential energies. The resulting seed dispersal patterns have been investigated in some ballistic dispersers, but the mechanical performance of a launch mechanism of this type has not been m...

Grain yield is the most important quantitative character in breeding of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), depending on both the genotypic potential and environmental conditions of soybean growing. Essentially, all of the genetic gains in soybean yield have been achieved by traditional breeding methods, involving hybridisation and phenotypic selection (CORYELL et al., 1999). Grain yield is a c...
