Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is one of the most important factors in reducing yield and barley production in rainfed arid regions, and counteracting or reducing the effect of stresses as a useful solution to increase barley yield. Therefore, improvement of stress-tolerant and suitable barley cultivars for arid and semi-arid regions is essential. Material and Me...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: In order to investigate the effect of foliar application of main elements and micronutrients on morpho-physiological and yield traits of rice plants with the aim of increasing yield and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, experiments in the cropping years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 in the research farms of Nowshahr city (Mazandaran) was implemen...

Considering to drought stress importance as most important limiting factor in rice production in world, identification of tolerant genotypes to drought can be a valuable approach to deal with the drought stress. In the present experiment plant materials contains 53 rice genotypes including 31 aerobic and 22 lowland (landrace) rice that were grown in two conditions under drought stress and norma...

     Drought stress is the most important environmental stress that affects many morphological, physiological and, especially, yield traits of arable crops. In this research, a cross between the cultivar Gaspard (dehydrated susceptible parent) and DN11 line (drought resistant parent) was performed. F1, F2, F3, BC1 and BC2 generations along with parents, were planted and compared in a randomized...

In order to study agronomic and morphological traits in maize hybrids in Hammedan, two early (108 and 301), three medium (604, 647 and TWC647) and two late maturing (704 and 711) hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station in Hammedan in 2005. 33 morphological and phonological traits were recorded fr...

Identifying selection indices is the most important step of a breeding project that aims to improve grain yield. The definition of the selection index is usually done by evaluating the variables in multivariate statistical methods. In the present study, the relationship between grain yield and its components in bread wheat genotypes was determined by multivariate statistical methods. The experi...
