In this study, the effect of some pre-treatments (conventional and 40 kHz 200 W ultrasound soaking) on corn drying was studied. One-hour pre-treated samples were dried at 80, 90 100 °C in laboratory type convective air dryer for 240 min time. The moisture contents physical characteristics such as length, width, thickness, equivalent diameter, volume, sphericity, thousand kernel weight hectolite...

The study diagnosed engineering properties on varying moisture content of sunflower seed and kernel from 7.6 to 25% (wet basis). On increasing moisture, dimensional values increased for both seed and kernel. Bulk density, true density and porosity were found higher for kernel as compared to seed at each moisture content. On increasing the moisture content from 7.6 to 25%, true density, porosity...

We present an experiment done on a bar(+) wheat line treated with 14 different concentrations of glufosinate ammonium-an effective component of nonselective herbicides-during seed germination in a closed experimental system. Yield components as number of spikes per plant, number of grains per spike, thousand kernel weight, and yield per plant were thoroughly analysed and statistically evaluated...

hamoon is a new bread wheat cultivar derived from progenies of a cross made between falat and roshan. it is of spring habit and early maturity, 90-100 cm plant height, white spikes and thousand kernel weight of 40-45 gram. it is tolerant to lodging and environmental stresses(drought and salinity) as will as yellow rust. hamoon has hard grains of amber colour with averae protein content of 10.5%...

Tunisia is considered as a diversification centre of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and barely (Hordeum vulgare). It is characterised by large genetic diversity; however, several genotypes are in the process of disappearance. The safeguard and rehabilitatation of this genetic inheritance requires genetic characterisation, evaluation and in-situ and ex-situ conservation. In this context, a l...

in order to evaluate some morphological traits of durum wheat genotypes, 18 elite lines selected from advanced regional durum wheat yield trials. these materials along, with two checks dena (durum wheat) and parsi (bread wheat) were examined using rcb design with three replications at isfahan research station in two consecutive cropping season. during the cropping season some trials such as the...

effects of five seeding rates (350, 425, 500, 575 and 650 seeds per m2) on four wheat cultivars (kavir, mahdavi, shiraz and roshan) were studied under salinity stress, during 2000-2001 crop seasons in roodasht agricultural research station, esfahan. a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. plants were irrigated with saline water (with ec...

In this study, the physical (color, grain size, equivalent diameter, sphericity, kernel surface area, volume, thousand weight, hectoliter dry weight and wet weight), physicochemical (technological) (dry water absorption capacity, index, swelling gluten Zeleny sedimentation delayed sedimentation) chemical (moisture, protein contents) properties of most grown bread wheat varieties (Triticum aesti...
