need to increasing agricultural land in order to improve food resources in the past two centuries recentlead to widespread changes in land use and improper management of these lands. continue thisprocess can lead to land degradation and desertification, and improve such soils is very costly;therefore, prevention of land degradation is more desirable. this function requires to research on theuti...

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) has a high potential for forage production inboth rangelands and cultivated rainfed areas of Iran. It is well adapted to semi-arid areas ofwest and north of country where annual rainfall is 250–350 mm. To study the seed and DryMatter (DM) yield and agronomic traits, six genotypes of Lathyrus sativus L. and twogenotypes of Lathyrus inconspicuous L. were provided b...

Introduction Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is one of the most important species of the Lathyrus genus. It has two subspecies : spp. asiaticus Zalk., which has small, coloured seeds, occurring mainly in the continental part of Asia and Africa and spp. europaeus Zalk. with large seeds, occurring predominantly in Central Europe and European Russia. According to Vavilov (8) its genetic centre is ...

Wind erosion not only affects agricultural productivity but also soil, air, and water quality. Dust and specifically particulate matter ≤10 μm (PM-10) has adverse effects on respiratory health and also reduces visibility along roadways, resulting in auto accidents. The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) was developed by the USDA-Agricultural Research Service to simulate wind erosion and prov...

The growth and yield of peas cultivated on eight different soils, as well as the diversity of pea microsymbionts derived from these soils were investigated in the present study. The experimental plot was composed of soils that were transferred from different parts of Poland more than a century ago. The soils were located in direct vicinity of each other in the experimental plot. All soils exami...
