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...

Phosphorus (P) efficiency (relative growth), which is described as the ratio of shoot dry matter or grain yield at deficient P supply to that obtained under adequate P supply, was compared in 25 winter wheat cultivars grown under greenhouse and field conditions with low and adequate P levels in a P-deficient calcareous soil. Adequate P supply resulted in significant increases in shoot dry weigh...

  Abstract Two experiments with factorial arrangements on the basis of randomized complete block design in three replications were conducted in 2007 and 2008, to evaluate chlorophyll content index (CCI), fluorescence of chlorophyll, proline content and grain yield of three soybean cultivars (Williams, Zan and L17) under a non-saline (control) and three saline (3, 6 and 9 ds/m NaCl) conditions...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...

Long-grain rice cultivars Cocodrie, Wells, and XP 723 grown in three locations (Hazen, MO; Essex and Newport, AR, USA), and medium-grain rice cultivars Bengal and XP 713 grown in two locations (Jonesboro and Lodge Corner, AR, USA), were harvested and assayed for susceptibility to Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), the lesser grain borer, and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera...

abstract in order to study of relationship between timing and duration of phenological events and grain yield of wheat plants, an experiment was performed at moghan college of agriculture and natural resources-university of mohaghegh ardabili research farm during 2010-2011. the plant materials (81 wheat cultivars) were evaluated using a simple lattice design with two replications under irrigate...

The aim of this study was to verify the adaptability and stability of soybean cultivars with regards to yield and oil content. Data of soybean yield and oil content were used from experiments set up in six environments in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 crop seasons in the municipalities of Patos de Minas, Uberaba, Lavras, and São Gotardo, Minas Gerais, Brazil, testing 36 commercial soybean cultivars o...
