In order to study effect of plant density on yield and seed yield components of forage vetch in rain-fed and supplemental irrigation conditions, two separate experiments were conducted at the research filed of faculty of agriculture, Lorestsn University, during 2008-2009. Three species of forage vetch (Vicia narbonensis, V. sativa and V. dasycarpa) and in three plant densities (100, 150 and 20...

This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity of alfalfa genotypes by multivariate analyses using agronomic and morphological traits. For this purpose, 20 alfalfa genotypes with local control Baghdadi was considered as the first factor and three harvest was used as the second factor. This experiment was performed to split plot at the time in randomized complete block design with...

To evaluate the effect of supplemental irrigation and seed priming on yield and some quantity and quality characteristics of vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) rainfed maragheh cultivar, an experiment was carried out at the Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Urmia, West Azarbaijan province, Iran, during 2011. The experiment was laid out using split-plot, based on Randomized Complete Bl...

In order to study the effects of intercropping maize with legume on forage quantity, field experiments were carried out at the Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Iran, in 2006 and 2007 growing seasons. Two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids (SC704, SC301), vetch (Vicia villosa), bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia), berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) and commo...

This study was conducted to quantitatively evaluate selfed (S1, S2 and S3) and open pollinated (OP1, OP2 and OP3) generations of alfalfa in terms of inbreeding depression and general combining ability of S2 families of alfalfa ecotypes. Selfing of selected plants to produce three generations of S1, S2 and S3 generations were performed under the field conditions and the clones of each selfed- ge...
