Forage production is primarily limited by weather conditions under dryland production systems in Brazilian semi-arid regions, therefore sowing at the appropriate time is critical. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the CSM-CERES-Pearl Millet model from the DSSAT software suite for its ability to simulate growth, development, and forage accumulation of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum...

this study was conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm, iran, golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on azivash (corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. treatments were four sowing dates such as may 5, jun 5, ju...

The effect of different pre-sowing seed treatments and sowing dates on germination and rootstock quality of ber was assessed to standardize a combination which could yield optimum germination and quality rootstock. Of the fourteen pre-sowing treatments, highest seed germination and best seedling growth was obtained in T10 x D2 (seed soaking in water for 48 hours followed by 6 days storage in mo...

abstract persian shallot (moseer) belongs to alliaceae family, is a perennial medicinal and industrial edible alliums in iran. very little information is available about different aspects of this species particularly on its agronomical production. in order to determine optimum sowing date and plant density in persian shallot, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on complete randomize...

to study the effects of sowing dates, irrigation intervals and different cultivars on sugar beet root rot disease management and its quality and quantity yields, an experiment was conducted in a split- factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the field of sugar factory jame. two irrigation intervals: eight days and 16 days were allocated in main plots, and d...

introduction the study of growth parameters such as net assimilation rate (nar), leaf area ratio (lar), relative growth rate (rgr) and leaf area duration (lad) are important for analyzing yield constraints. the growth parameters can be used to understand the crop response to environmental variables during the growing season. the aims of the present study were to 1) consider the growth indices u...
