Chickpea is mostly grown on stored soil moisture, and deep/profuse rooting has been hypothesized for almost three decades to be critical for improving chickpea tolerance to terminal drought. However, temporal patterns of water use that leave water available for reproduction and grain filling could be equally critical. Therefore, variation in water use pattern and root depth/density were measure...

1 Wheat Research Center, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh ABSTRACT. Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using rand...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. in addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. in order to screen drought tolerant genotype in chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated conditio...

A field experiment with two sets, each comprising 13 chickpea genotypes with three replications was carried out during Rabi 2012-2013 in stress and non-stress conditions. The objective of the reported research was to study the response of chickpea genotypes in drought stress and to screen the appropriate genotypes performing better in water deficit and irrigated conditions. Three genotypes TG12...

selecting and introducing of cold tolerant chickpea varieties with high yielding potential as well as suitable to autumn sowing has highly importance. sel93th24460 is hybrid of a cross, ilc 3470 × ilc 8617 which has done at international center for agricultural research in the dry areas (icarda). this genotype has been sent to iran in an international cold tolerance nursery in 1999 and evaluate...

Continuous desertification of arable lands mandates use of low quality/ saline water for irrigation, especially in regions experiencing water shortage. Using low quality/ saline water for irrigation imposes more stress on plants that are already under stress in these regions. Thus, a logical solution will be to find a salt/ drought-tolerant plant species that will survive/sustain under such str...

The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, university of Rajshahi, to study the effect of irrigation and sowing method on yield and yield attributes of mustard. The experiment consists of two factors i) irrigation viz. no irrigation (I0), one irrigation (I1)and two irrigations (I2) ii) sowing method viz. line sowing method (M1...
