in order to study the effect of different organic fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of fenugreek forage, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with six treatments and three replications at agricultural research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2006. the experimental treatments were four orga...

iran is widely drought prone, considering its semi-arid climate. eleven wheat cultivars differing in yield potential and drought resistance were employed to determine the possible relationship among grain filling rate and duration, stem reserves remobilization and grain yield under either irrigated (ir) or non-irrigated (nir) conditions at gerizeh research station in sanandaj for a duration of ...

Oilseed rape, a crop requiring a high level of nitogen (N) fertilizers, is characterized by low N use efficiency. To identify the limiting factors involved in the N use efficiency of winter oilseed rape, the response to low N supply was investigated at the vegetative stage in 10 genotypes by using long-term pulse-chase (15)N labelling and studying the physiological processes of leaf N remobiliz...

Post-anthesis drought affects wheat production worldwide, primarily through the limitation of grain filling. The enhanced remobilization stem reserves induced by can provide considerable carbon sources for aim this study, which was part an ongoing wheat-breeding program targeting tolerance, to assess ability 20 contrasting common genotypes (2 cultivars, 8 F6:7 families (FAM), and 10 parent (PAR...

The objectives of this work were to determine the effect of nodulation on dry matter, reduced-N, and phosphorus accumulation and partitioning in above-ground vegetative parts and pods of field-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Harosoy).From comparison of nodulated and nonnodulated isolines, it was estimated that nodulated plants attained 81 and 71% of total-plant (above ground) N from up...

greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...
