 To study the effects of plant density and species on forage and grain yield of Vicia sp., anexperiment was conducted in College of Agriculture, University of Lorestan, under dry farming conditions during 2007-2008 growing season. Three levels of plant density at 100, 150 and 200 seed per square meter along with three species of Vicia including Vicia narbonensis, Vicia sativa and Vicia dasycarp...

In order to study the relationship between grain yield and some of agronomic traits under drought stress condition, an experiment with 305 bread wheat inbred lines derived from a cross between Roshan × Falat and 25 drought tolerant and susceptible varieties along with 4 check varieties (Roshan, Falat, Mahdavi and Shahpasand) was conducted in augmented complete block design, at Research Field of...

In order to evaluate the effect of different periods of weed interference and weed control on plant height, seed yield and yield components of common bean, an experiment was conducted at the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Hamadan, Iran, in 2011. The experiment was a randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. Treatments included two groups of weed interference ...

To study the effect of seed priming on seedling emergence characteristics of lentil and evaluate its interaction with drought stress at flowering stage, an experiment was carried out as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research station of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran. The main factor consisted drought stress with two levels (conventional irrig...

Mutagenesis has been one of the important sources of genetic diversity and Plant mutants can be important bio-resources for crop breeding and functional genomics studies. Breeding conventional methods for generating of genetic variability are of low efficiency. We showed that treatment of seeds of rice(Hashemi cultivar) with 0.8% EMS for 8 h caused visible phenotypic variations on M2 rice mutan...

In order to evaluate biofertilizer, nitrogen and humic acid effect on quantitative and qualitative traits of chickpea (ILC 482 line) this research was carried out at the Agricultural Research Field of Kurdistan University, Sannadaj, Iran. A factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental treatments included three levels of lea...

Mycorrhizal fungi can be integrated in soil management to achieve low-cost sustainable agricultural systems. Hence, the effects of non-using (M1) and using (M2) of mycorrhizal fungi on reduction of phosphate fertilizer consumption, growth and yield of maize under different levels of phosphate fertilizer (P1: zero, P2: 20, P3: 40, P4: 60, P5: 80 and P6: 100% recommended) were investigated in a f...
