most part of durum wheat is produced in semitropical dryland regions in iran. heat and drought stresses are the main constraints in these regions. so, identification of durum wheat cultivars with high yield and tolerant to these stresses is the main breeding strategy in dryland agricultural research institute. the genotype capeiti was evaluated at gachsaran agricultural research station from 19...

evaluating of agronomic traits and their relationships with grain yield are important in plant breeding. in order to evaluate agronomic traits and their effects on grain yield, 76 durum wheat landraces as well as 4 local checks were studied in augmented design with 4 blocks under rainfed condition in maragheh and ardabil locations. the result showed that there is remarkable diversity among land...

lack of sufficient information on conservation tillage systems leads to the dominating use of conventional tillage practice in most parts of iran. testing other management practices may help in decision making regarding the types of tillage systems that reduce soil deterioration. a three- years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of conventional (ct), reduced (rt) and no-till (n...
