in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...

an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...

The main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (SOM) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients. The effect of different amounts of nano iron oxide powder and urban solidwaste compost coated sulfur (USWCS) on the chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil was investigated. The experimentwas conducted using a randomized complete block des...

augment of germination rate is important in seedling establishment and crop yield. a set of study in laboratory & field conditions at agronomy department of university of tehran was conducted during 2004-2005. in lab. experiment the effects of seed priming was evaluated on germination indices (germination percentage and rate) of chickpea genotypes in a factorial experiment of 4×3×2 arranged in ...

determining general and specific combining ability of lines is necessary to use them as parents of hybrid varieties. in addition, estimates of the heritability of characters helps in selecting suitable breeding methods and predicting genetic gains of the traits. to determine general and specific combining abilities and gene effects of agronomic characters, five cms lines and four restorer lines...

abstract nickel is a heavy metal distributed ubiquitously in nature. it accumulates in soil as a result of human activities, including mining and industries development. it may be poisonous to plants, humans, animals and microorganisms. the present study was implemented as a factorial experiment with a randomized complete block design (rcbd), of three replications in calcareous soils of karaj a...

in order to investigating the effects of planting date and harvest time on the quality performance of pear millet, an experiment was conducted in agriculture research station of gorgan in a randomized complete block design with four replications and factorial arrangement. this experiment included five planting dates (may 5th, may 25th, june 14th ,july 4th, july 24th) and three harvest times (90...
