Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) sown in early spring often has poor seed germination and seedling development. The influence of soil temperature on seedling emergence and early growth of six peanut cultivars (Florida MDR98, Southern Runner, Georgia Green, SunOleic 97R, Florunner and C-99R) was studied in natural field soil profiles in temperature-gradient greenhouses. We evaluated the...

Seed was collected from a sweetgum tree in Washington County, Miss., in the fall of 1964 and stored at 35° to 40° F. for 4 months. Prior to sowing, the seed was stratified moist for 30 days at the same temperature. About 4 inches of loose silt loam was placed in 4inch clay pots. The soil was settled by sprinkling lightly with water and then leveled. Fifty seeds were placed in each pot and cover...

in order to evaluate yield and yield components properties of cold-tolerant chickpea under winter sowing and complementary irrigation conditions, two experiments in the context of partial balanced block design with 81 chickpea genotypes and three replications were carried out. complementary irrigation was performed during growing season including irrigation immediately after sowing, 20 days aft...

given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of tarbiat modares university during 2007 growing season. experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. in this research, sow...

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, ...
