eight strawberry cultivars (paros, queen elisa, pajaro, camarosa, gaviota, selva, mrak and kurdistan as local cultivar) were evaluated to select the best cultivar based on quantitative yield production in kurdistan province condition. an experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2008- 2010 in grizeh research station (sanandaj). eleven morpholo...

to determine the most suitable sowing date for rapeseed cultivars this study was carried out in busheshr agriculture research center, borazjan in 1997-1998 cropping season using a strip plot design with four replications. rapeseed cultivars were: global, regent, tower, pf7045/91, pf5045/88 and maluka which were sown on four different dates with fifteen days interval (oct.20, nov.5, no. 20 and d...

abstract in order to investigate the response of two species of p. ovata and p. psyllium to water deficit. the experiment was conducted during 2009 growing seasons in the agriculture research station ferdowsi of mashhad. for this purpose a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. four irrigation levels (4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 m3/ha) alloc...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen application methods on yield and yield components of winter wheat, a field experiment with split plot arrangement in completely randomized blocks design with four replicates was conducted in 2006. basal dressing in three levels (1- with no basal dressing, 2- strip and 3- distributing nitrogen fertilizer) as main plot and top dressin...

The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of milk production traits in the first and second lactations of Romanian Simmental dairy cattle. For the estimation of variance, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations among milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, and percentages of fat and protein, 3400 first and second lactation records over a period of fi...

The documentation process is very important for identifying yield constraint factors and yield gap. For this purpose, all managing practices were recorded by monitoring of paddy rice fields in Sari region, Iran from 2015 to 2016. Field identifications were undertaken in such a way that they included all the main production procedures with variations in management viewpoints. The results reveale...
