inheritance of yield and its contributing characters in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) was studied in a 8×8 diallel cross through griffing and jinks-hayman analyses. both general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) were highly significant for seed yield, seed weight and branches per plant, while only gca for seeds per pod and oil content and only sca for pods per plant an...

adjustment of plant density is an important base on light, water and soil nutrients for increasing seed yield. to determine of plant density in new red bean lines (phaseolus vulgaris l.), this experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at lordegan region (chaharmahal and bakhtiari province) in 2004-2005. factors were new red bean lin...

Castor is one of neglected African oil crops with little research attention in Nigeria. In the present research, eighty-six castor genotypes were evaluated at three locations in Niger State, Nigeria. The aim was to estimate the extent of genetic variability and also to examine the associations among the seed yield and its components. The treatments were laid out in an Alpha Lattice Design with ...

in order to study the effects of sowing date and plant density on forage yield and some morphological characteristics of corn, an experiment was conducted in gorgon research station in 2008. in this experiment two sowing date (18 april and 21 june) and six plant densities (25000, 45000, 65000, 85000, 105000, and 125000 plant per hectare) were evaluated in form of factorial experiment (2×6) with...

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting bacteria on growth characteristic of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a completely randomized design based on factorial arrangement (3×6) with three replications was used. the first factor consisted of three cultivars of wheat (c...

in order to study genetic diversity in 178 accessions of lentil (lens culinaris medik) originated from warm climate regions of iran, this experiment was conducted in 2009 at research farm of the national plant gene bank of iran in karaj. experimental design was an augmented experiment with six blocks and each block containes 30 accessions. accessions were compared with promising lines including...

in order to find the superior genotypes and high yielding potato varieties, the experiment was carried out on 33 introduced potato genotypes and varieties based on a complete randomized block design with four replications, in which a number of morphological characteristics were investigated. results of analysis of variance on the recorded traits revealed that the studied genotypes were signific...
