The previously reported activity of benzyladenine and selected other cytokinin analogs to increase pod set in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) was further investigated to define the structure-activity relationship and evaluate the effects of the cytokinins on yield parameters. Enhancement of pod set was found to be greatest with N-6 saturated alkyl substituted analogs, and was only weakly assoc...

to investigate the effect of wild mustard plant density and nitrogen fertilizer on morphological characters, yield and yield components of canola a split-plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out in bu-ali sina university of hamedan, in 2009. 4 levels of nitrogen fertilization (100, 150, 200 and 250 kgn h-1) were assigned to main-plots and p...

A study was conducted at the National Agriculture Research Center, Islamabad during summer 2001 on 27 genotypes of soybean to determine the correlation and path analyses of yield and its components. Significant differences among genotypes for characters viz., leaf area, chlorophyll content, first pod height, days to 50% flowering, days to flowering completion, days to pod initiation, days to 50...

In order to elucidate the effect of sowing date on oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) yield and yield components, three varieties including Tower, Rafal and Global were sown from November 7 to December 22, 1998-99 in four dates with 15day intervals in Dezful region. A split-plot design based on randomized complete blocks with four replications was used in which levels of sowing dates and cultivar...

Because triiodobenzoic acid increases pod number, albeit variably, in soybean (Glycine max), we tested other auxin-transport inhibitors. Morphactins, especially methylchlorflurenol (MCF), were found to be very active (optimal concentration 10 micromolar) when sprayed onto the foliage. Applications at 1 week after the start of flowering were most effective, producing a 40% increase in pod number...

in order to study the effect of different redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) density on yield, yield components of soybean cultivar and determining competitive cultivar, a field experiment was carried out at mazandaran agricultural research station 2006. experiment was set up at a randomized complete block design with five rates of pigweed (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 plant per square meter) and t...

genetic variation of 20 genotypes (15 exotic collected from icarda, and 5 endemic collected from various regions of iran: ardebil, oshnaviyeh, qazvin, shahre kord and mashhad) were studied during the 2007-2008 growing season, using morphological and phenological traits. the resultant data were examined for normality test and were then analyzed according to randomized complete block design (rcbd...

An experiment was carried out in the field laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to investigate the flowering pattern, floral and pod abscission under untreated and GABA (mixture of GA3 and Abscissic acid) treated soybean and their trends concern to yield. The variety of soybean PB-1 (Shohag) was used in the investigation. GABA at 0.5, 1.0 ...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...
