in order to determine the effect of different tillage methods on grain yield and yield components of two wheat cultivars an experiment was conducted in sanandaj in during 2005 and 2006-2007. experiment was carried out in a split plot design based on rcbd with four replications. the three methods of tillage, including moldboard plow, chisel plow and no tillage were arranged as main plots, and tw...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...

the aim of this study was to investigate the genotype effect on nitrogen remobilization and its relationship with yield and grain protein concentration in genotypes of wheat during grain filling. twelve wheat cultivars different in origin and varying with grain yield and grain protein percentage were selected. a randomized complete block design was used. plants were harvested at anthesis and ma...

understanding of wheat root system is important in dryland conditions. root development, important factor in wheat production under water limiting conditions, can be affected by environmental factors especially nitrogen fertilizer. a field experiment was carried out to study the nitrogen rates and application times on root morphology of three rainfed wheat genotypes, using a split-splitplot bas...

poor wheat stand establishment is a major cause of yield loss, particularly in rainfed and poorly irrigated environments. seeds of eight wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) including irrigated and rainfed varieties, belonging to three different climates of iran (hamedan as cold, karaj as temperate and sarpolzohab as warm climates) were primed using osmoprimig treatments through use of urea ,...
