In order to evaluate the effect of drought stress and nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels on yield, yield components and protein content of two barley cultivars (Yousef: six-rowed and Nimrouz: two-rowed), field experiments were conducted at the Fars Agricultural Research Center – Zarghan Station, during 2010-11 and 2011-12 growing seasons. The experiment was carried out as split-split plot based on ...

In order to investigate the effects of sowing date (SD) and single irrigation (SI) amounts on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat varieties, a field experiment was conducted as split-split plots arranged in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2002-2004 at main station of Dryland Agricultural Research Institute in Maragheh, Iran. Treatments included three s...

Supplementary irrigation moderates the damage caused by drought stress in rainfed agriculture. Meanwhile, the application of nano fertilizers and methanol as the foliar application can be considered as effective management strategies to improve production under dryland conditions. For this purpose, the effect of supplementary irrigation, nano fertilizer spraying, and methanol foliar spraying wa...

Triticale as a man-made cereal is well known for having tolerance to environmental stresses and thus recommended for planting in marginal lands. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant enzyme activity of 18 triticale lines comprising 9 doubled haploid (DH) and 9 corresponding advanced lines (F7) and two bread wheat cultivars (Rowshan and kavir) in research farm and laboratory ...

This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between different traits, detecting factors affecting this relationship and to identify components of seed yield in canola under drought and normal conditions. Twenty eight canola cultivars were evaluated for morphological, agronomic and physiological traits under water stress and normal irrigation according to a randomized block desig...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in rapeseed grain yield under limited moisture conditions. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1) on canopy surface temperature and some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two rapeseed cultivars (Okapi and Natalie) under full irrigation and late season ...

To investigate the effect of  the timing of nitrogen fertilizer application on grain yield and quality of bread wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress conditions, two field experiments were conducted at Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab in West Azerbaijan, Iran, in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 cropping seasons. Experimental treatments were arranged as split plot factorial in randomiz...

  Photosynthesis and wheat grain yield responses to supplemental irrigation with different amount of applied water under dryland conditions were investigated. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was conducted research farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University during 2004-2005. Five levels of irrigation including dryland conditions, irrigation at stem elongation, booting, flowering an...
