Effects of seed rates on grain, straw and oil yield of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were studied for two years in the semi-arid central Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. Three trials, two under rainfed and one under supplementary irrigations, were conducted using seed rates of 6, 12, 24 and 48 kg ha -1 corresponding to intra-row spacing of 20, 10, 5, and 2.5 cm, respectively. There was significan...

in order to study the effects of intra and inter-row spaces and planting pattern on the yield components, seed and oil yield of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.), a field experiment was conducted as split-split plot based on randomized block design with three replications during 2009-2010 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. two levels of inter-row space (1 an...

Biodiesel production from vegetable oil has gained attention as an alternative fuel to minimize the usage of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases pollution. In Malaysia, oils from local fruit seeds of papaya and rambutan are potential feedstock for biodiesel production due to their high lipid contents and easily available. In the present study, papaya and rambutan seed oils were extracted v...

for different agronomic traits in sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) inbred lines were estimated using “line × tester” analysis method. six new restorer lines were crossed with four cms lines as tester in 2006 growing season. the 24 f1 single cross combinations were planted in complete randomized block design with four replications in khoy field research station in 2007 growing season. there were...

One of the most important aromatic plants is Pimpinella anisum. The genus Pimpinella contains 23 species that are found wild in different regions of Iran. Pimpinella eriocarpa is distributed in south and west of Iran. In this research, the oil composition of P. eriocarpa was studied. Essential oils were isolated by hydro-distillation from the arial parts and seeds of Pimpinella eriocarpa indivi...

Nevertheless, PSR23 still can be considered only partially domesticated. Remaining obstacles include an inCuphea is a potential new crop for temperate regions. It produces determinate growth habit, continued seed shattering, and stores in its seeds medium chain length fatty acids, which currently and only partial self-fertility. are derived commercially from seeds of tropical palms. The growth ...

glasswort(salicornia europaea l.) as an important halophyte plant is capable to accumulate nacl in aboveground part (fully edible) in considerable quantity. to evaluate the effect of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of seed and oil, and also harvest index of glasswort, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications a...
