in order to study the responses of grain yield of chickpea to drought stress and application methods of nitrogen fertilizer, an experiment carried out as split-plot at campus of agriculture and natural resources, razi university, kermanshah, iran, during 2009-10 and 2010-11. the supplementary irrigation at three levels (1. without irrigation, 2. one irrigation at flowering, 3. two irrigations a...

a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) plus nitrogen and phosphorous chemical fertilizers on relative agronomic efficiency of p and n fertilizers and some agronomic parameters of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivar n-80-19, an experiment was conducted at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2008-2009. ...

In a field experiment conducted during Rabi 2002-03 at Pantnagar, seed inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae (LB-4), PSB (Bacillus megaterium) and PGPR LK-786 (Kurthia sp.) alone significantly increased the nodule number at different intervals, nodule dry weight at 45 and 90 DAS, plant dry weight at 70 and 90 DAS and N uptake by grain and straw in lentil over the uninoculated cont...

Observational studies show inverse associations between intake of whole grain and adiposity and cardiovascular risk; however, only a few dietary intervention trials have investigated the effect of whole-grain consumption on health outcomes. We studied the effect of replacing refined wheat (RW) with whole-grain wheat (WW) for 12 wk on body weight and composition after a 2-wk run-in period of con...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

application of sewage sludge as a cheap and waste material is increasing for supporting plant essential elements especially in the soils of arid and semiarid regions. in the present greenhouse research, the effect of ardabil municipal sewage sludge on n, p, k, pb, cr, ni and cd concentrations in soil and plant and also spring wheat yield and growth indices was studied as a randomized complete b...

The objective of this study was to determine whether reconstituting field-dried and early-harvested sorghum grain affected the fermentation characteristics and feed value of the ensiled grain when fed to feedlot heifers. In Trial 1, sorghum grain was harvested at 14% moisture, rolled, and reconstituted to 25, 30, or 35% moisture, then ensiled in laboratory-scale silos. Lactic acid concentration...

in order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, ardabil, iran, in 2007. experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...
