to study the effect of plant density on seed yield and yield components of two lentil cultivars a field experiment using factorial design based on a complete block design was conducted with three replications at research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran (karaj) in 2008. treatments were lentil varieties (ziba, mardom), and plant densities (80, 160, 240, ...

a split plots experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out at field research center of islamic azad university, shoushtar branch during 2012 to find out the suitable sowing date and urea fertilizer used in chamomile (matricaria recutita). main plots including three sowing date (9, 19 and 29 february 2012) and subplots including four levels of urea fertilizers (5, 10, 15...

in order to evaluation of plant densities and row spacing effects on growth and yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted by using four plant densities (125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2),two row spacing (12.5 and 25 cm), in a randomized complete block design with three replicates in anbare-ololum reign in rainfed and saline conditions during 2008-2009. results showed that leaf area index (...

the effects of plant densities (25, 35 and 45 plants m-2 as d1, d2 and d3 respectively), and inoculation with rhizobium bacteria (without rhizobium, with rhizobium and rhizobium + microelement application), on growth and yield were studied in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.). experiment was carried out in 2008 at research farm of the faculty of agriculture of university of mohaghegh ardabil, a fac...

BACKGROUND The DefH9-iaaM gene fusion which is expressed specifically in placenta/ovules and promotes auxin-synthesis confers parthenocarpic fruit development to eggplant, tomato and tobacco. Transgenic DefH9-iaaM eggplants and tomatoes show increased fruit production due mainly to an improved fruit set. However, the weight of the fruits is also frequently increased. RESULTS DefH9-iaaM strawb...

A field experiment was conducted during the seasons of 2010/2011 in a semiarid savannah zone, at the faculty of agriculture demonstration farm University of Zalingei two kilometers east of Zalingei town Western Darfur State. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of weed control on growth and seed production of (Clitoria ternatea) under rainfed conditions. Four treatments viz.; No wee...

five genotypes of chickpea as a half diallel crossed with each other, in 2008, 5 parents and 10 progenies were planted as randomized complete block design and some traits including days to podding, basal pod height, number of pods per plant, number of double seed pods per plant, number of single seed pods per plant, number of empty pods per plant, seeds per plant and seed yield per plant were e...

to evaluate the effect of seeding rate on important agronomic traits in three winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars, two field experiments were carried out as split plot arrangement in a complete block design with three replications during 2006-2008 growing seasons. three rapeseed cultivars (okapi, modena and licord) and three seeding rates (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha)) were randomized in main p...

this study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (k2so4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of calendula officinalis l., a medicinal and ornamental plant. the experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (r.c.b.d...
