to study response of bread wheat cv. sardari to row spacing and seeding rate and to determine the desirable seed density under cold rain-fed conditions a two-year study (2008 and 2009) was carried out in qamloo research station located in kurdistan. a strip plot design with three replications was used. four rows spacing including 15, 17.5, 20 and 25 cm as horizontal factor and four seeding rate...

proportionality of wheat cultivars growth patterns to the area’s agro climatic condition will improve crop production. the objective of this study was identifying the phenology of a wide range of wheat varieties in iran, as well as evaluating the relationship between phenology and drought stress tolerance under late season drought stress. in this experiment, 36 wheat genotypes were studied unde...

heat stress is one of the main obstacles for crop production in many areas of the world including southwest of iran. in order to evaluation the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of wheat, an experiment was conducted during 2010-2011 under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress (late sowing date) conditions on 11 wheat genotypes including yavaro...

to investigate the yield and agronomic traits of winter bread wheat genotypes in irrigating condition and also to determine the relationship of these traits with grain yield, 15 advanced genotypes of wheat along with three conventional cultivars where studied using randomized complete block design in three replications in 2010 growing season at kheyr-abad agricultural research station. the anal...

reported grain yield increased 3.9 and 7.4% cycle 1, respectively, over two cycles of selection in barley Increasing kernel weight has been proposed as a method to increase (Hordeum vulgare L.). Durum wheat (Triticum turflour extraction in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Recurrent selection was initiated to increase kernel weight while maintaining gidum L. var. durum) grain yield improved ...

ABSTRACT- Barley (Hordeumvulgare L.) is one of the most important cereals in the world which is used as human and cattle feed and for malt production. One of the most important steps in a hybrid and selection breeding program of barley is the selection of suitable parents with high general (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for grain yield. In order to estimate the combining ability and...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five plants densities (100,200,300,400 and 500 grain m-2) on yield and its components in three rain fed barley cultivars (ezeh, mahor and dopar). a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research center of khorramabad city in the east of iran (in 2006-2007). in th...

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...

drought stress is considered as one of the main important factors reducing field crop yield, thus leading researchers to study the related physiological characteristics may reduce drought effects. this experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement institute (spii) in karadj, arak and jolgeh rokh for three cropping seasons (2008-2011) to evaluate drought tolerance of br...
