in line with an investigation regarding to evaluation of the compatibility of the asian pear cultivars with iran climatic conditions – currently being carried out at the horticultural department of tarbiyat modares university (tmu) – the present preliminary study was performed in two regions in isfahan. asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) cultivars (grafted on european pear seedling rootstocks) w...

ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008...

Planning the artificial pollination of agricultural crops requires knowledge of the floral biology and reproductive system of the crop in question. Many studies have shown that rapeseed (Brassica napus Linnaeus) is self-compatible and self-pollinated, but its productivity may be increased by insect visitation. In the present study, the floral biology and the response of productivity to insect v...

fruit yield efficiency and some vegetative characteristics of commercial and spur type apple. cultivars was evaluated in dr. nakhjavani field station, orumieh, iran, in 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. apple cultivars included: red spur, red chief, golden spur, yellow spur, fujii, red delicious, cooper spur, red cooper spur, jonathan, golden delicious, oregon spur, jonagold. the experimental desi...

In order to investigate the changes in fatty acids composition of rapeseed lines under Chitosan application, a factorial split-plot experiment was conducted based on RCBD in 3 replications during 2 years (2014-2016) in Karaj, Iran. Irrigation and Chitosan as main plots and cultivar in sub-plots were considered. In this study, treatmen...

in order to study the effect of planting date on phonological stages and quantity traits of four cultivars of winter rapeseed, an experiment was carried out in 2008-2009 at the research field of agriculture research station of boyerahmad. the experiment was carried out in using factorial with randomized complete block design and four replications. four planting dates (september 12, september 22...

Drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. In order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2009-2010 growing season. The cultivars were...

The objectives of this study were to develop Rapeseed Cultivation Simulation-Optimization-Decision Making System (Rape-CSODS), and validate it in order to design rapeseed planting, regulate and control its growth and development, and fulfill its high yield, good quality, high benefits, and standard production eventually. The models in Rape-CSODS were developed based on field experiments with 3 ...
