The present study in a two-year experiment investigated the influence of drought and sowing time on protein composition, antinutrients, and mineral contents of wheat whole meal of two genotypes differing in their water requirements. Different thermal conditions prevailing during the grain filling period under different sowing time generated a large effect on the amount of total soluble proteins...

Machinery for sowing wheat directly into rice residues has become more common in the rice-wheat systems of the north-west Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, with increasing numbers of farmers now potentially able to access the benefits of residue retention. However, surface residue retention affects soil water and temperature dynamics, thus the optimum sowing date and irrigation management for...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of sowing dates and plant density on grain yield and its components in chickpea var. arman, a field study was conducted at ekbatan research field station of agricultural and natural resources research center of hamedan province under rainfed condition during 2009-2010 cropping season. treatments were arranged as split plot on the basis of rand...

In arid and semi-arid regions of the world bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield is highlylimited due to late season heat stress, mostly occurring during the reproductive phase. Hence thecurrent study was conducted to evaluate the effect of late season heat stress on grain yield andyield components of 20 spring bread wheat cultivars. For this purpose, a stripe block experimentincluding four ...

To evaluate the performance of wheat plant height and spike-related traits under delayed sowing conditions, a screening trial was conducted for germplasm that exhibits resistance to late early maturity. The differences stability different dates were analyzed using 327 sources from wide range areas. results showed mean values generally decreased along with delay in dates. Broad-sense heritabilit...

We examined the effects of the sowing time on the yield production and oil content of the sunflower hybrids in 2010 and 2012. The crop year and the sowing time had both a strong impact on the yield, on the oilcontent and yield. By delaying the sowing time both the yield crop result and the oil yield increased. In 2010 in terms of crop yield and oil yield results PR64H42 was the best, in 2012 NK...
