evaluating of some physiological indices for recognizing water deficit effects, selecting water deficit tolerant oilseed rape genotypes and also evaluation of drought effects on seed and oil yields and its components were the goals of this study. the experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in east azarbaijan research center for ...

background & aim: milk thistle [silybum marianum (l.) gaertn] is an annual or biennial plant, native to the mediterranean area, which has spread in north and south of iran. a fruit of milk thistle contains a relatively high amount (approx. 20%) of oil, which exhibits wound-healing, anti-burn, and hepatoprotective properties. experimental: in this research, a pot experiment was conducted usi...

this research was investigated to study relationship among seed yield, seed yield components and morphological traits and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield of 100 safflower genotypes in two water environments (normal and drought stress) at research farm of isfahan university of technology during 2012. seed yield had positive correlation with number of head per plant, seed per head...

drought is one on the most important factors limiting the productivity of spring chickpea in drylands of iran. sixtym genotypes of chickpea from icarda's germplasm accessions, as well as one drought susceptible check (ilc 3279), were sown in spring of 2010 at two locations, sanandaj and maragheh, in the western highlands of iran for one year. the experiment in each location was laid out in a ra...

introduction canary seed (phalaris canariensis l.) is a forage plant from poaceae family. this plant is drought tolerant. canary seed is originally a native to mediterranean region, which can be grown commercially in several parts of the word, especially in semi-arid conditions. increasing growth of population and lack of ability of pastures to satisfy the food requirement of animal has led to ...

seed production, as well as other economical and ecological attributes, is an important character in grasses. knowledge on the genetic diversity of seed yield and yield components on iranian tall fescue accessions, as a high productive and adaptive grass is limited. this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity of seed yield and seed components, determine relationships betw...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Nutrient management may be achieved by the involvement of organic sources, bio fertilizers, and micro-nutrients. OBJECTIVES: Assessment effect of chemical and biological fertilizer on seed yield, its components and plant height of...

in order to evaluate the effects of seed priming and different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of two corn (zea mays) hybrids, an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in agricultural research station of shahrood university of technology. the treatments were urea levels (150, 250, 350 kg/ha) ...
