Can the height of a rice plant be measured from space? TanDEM-X, a mission designed to generate high accuracy global elevation models, has been shown to be capable of doing just that [1]. The growth of a rice plant can be observed starting from its vegetative phase, through its maturation phase until harvest. The measured height is very accurate, with a root mean square error ranging from a few...

genotypic variation is useful to breeders when selecting genotypes to improve particular traits. inorder to study of genetic diversity 20 genotypes of hordeum murynum studied in the form of randomized complete block design the experimental field of islamic azad university shahre rey branch with 3 replication in the year 2012. notes traits was conducted including days to heading, days to maturit...

Effects of biofertilizers and stacosorb polymer* on yield and yield components of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) under drought stress were evaluated using a split-factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the agricultural research farm of Lorestan University, Khorramabad, Iran in 2013. The factors included drought condition (stressed a...

to estimate the optimum and effective amount of nitrogen fertilizer for quantity and quality improvement of three new durum wheat lines, this research was conducted in gachsaran dry-land agricultural research station for a duration of 4 years (2003-2007). the study was performed as a factorial expriment, using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. two factors of: 4 nitrogen ra...

plant population density (ppd) and nitrogen (n) have large effects on chickpea growth and yield. to study these effects on chickpea (var. kourosh) a factorial experiment (4×3) in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research farm of college of agriculture & natural science, karaj (iran) in 2006. four ppd treatments were 16, 32, 48 and 64 plant m-2 and n amo...

in order to effect of different mulch materials and optimal chemical, organic and biological fertilizer management on ecological agriculture characteristics in common purslane (portulaca oleracea l.) in khuzestan conditions, a filed experiment was conducted at experimental field of ramin agriculture and natural resources university in ahwaz, south-western of iran, during 2010- 2011 growing seas...

Best nitrogen management practices are the pre-requisite to warrant high maize yield. Thus, experiments were conducted to study the “effect of tillage and split application of nitrogen on hybrid maize” under semi-arid conditions of Pakistan, during fall 2008 and 2009. The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design with split-plot arrangement, replicated three times in a net p...
