to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between norstar and zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

in order to study the effect of uniconazole and cycocle growth regulators on growth, yield and nutrients content of pearl millet in drought stress condition, a field experiment was conducted in 2007-2008 in agriculture research center of zabol university. the experiment was conducted in split plot base on randomized completely block design with tree replications. main plots were different level...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

proportionality of wheat cultivars growth patterns to the area’s agro climatic condition will improve crop production. the objective of this study was identifying the phenology of a wide range of wheat varieties in iran, as well as evaluating the relationship between phenology and drought stress tolerance under late season drought stress. in this experiment, 36 wheat genotypes were studied unde...

Fusarium (Fusarium L) disease of soybean in the cultivation grain causes a loss 30-60% yield and serious damage to level protein fat content grain. With this mind, paper discusses development, prevalence, 1000-grain weight fungal diseases effectiveness seed treatments control.

A pot experiment was conducted at six graded levels of copper (Cu) viz., 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg kg(-1) to test the response of wheat plants grown in a copper-responsive alluvial soil (entisol) under glass house conditions. The growth attributes like plant height, fresh and dry matter yield, percent dry matter enhanced with increasing Cu levels and was maximum at 1.5 mg kg(-1) Cu while...

A set of eight parental diallel involving seven commercial wheat cultivars and one breeding line was made to investigate the nature of gene action determining inheritance pattern of grain quality characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for 1000 grain weight, protein content, wet gluten and lysine content. Adequacy tests were employed to estimate the fitness ...

A linear equation of regression was used for establishment of the influence of quantitative characteristics on the grain productivity in forage pea and for development of a model for breeding work. The model for pea plant with high productivity was characterized by average height of 60–70 cm, 8–10 formed pods, 30–40 seeds per plant and 160–260 g in regard to 1000-seed weight. The obtained resul...
