Multi-environment trials play a significant role in selecting the best cultivars to be used at different locations. The objective of this study was to identify grain and forage yields stability of grass pea advanced lines across different locations. The 14 advanced lines of grass pea, developed by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were tested at three dif...

Drought is one of the major problems affecting crops production, including corn, in many parts of Iran. In order to detect drought tolerant grain corn hybrids, an experiment with twenty corn hybrids was conducted during 2006 in Qom Province, Iran, using a complete randomized block design with four replications, under optimal moisture and drought stress condition. Results showed diversity among ...

Nitrogen source and application time recommendations for rice are currently limited to applying an NH4-forming N source to a dry soil surface at the 5-lf growth stage for producers utilizing the delayed-flood production system. Fertilization trials were conducted at the Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) and the Pine Tree Branch Station (PTBS) to investigate the use of urea amended with ...

In order to investigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield and its components, a study was carried out (2011) as split plots in randomized complete blocks design in Isfahan (32° 40'  N,51° 48' E). Main factor was drought stress in four levels including irrigation after 80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan (class A) and subplots were three cultivars (Sirena, Record...

this study was conducted to explore the effects of drought stress and different levels of potassium sulfate on yield and yield attributes of grain sorghum at agriculture and natural resources research station of sistan during year of 2009. treatments were arranged in a split-plot lay out based on a randomized complete block design with three levels of drought stress as main plot (irrigation at ...

Grain amaranth, a pseudo-cereal with a rich history as a source of food in Meso America, is an attractive alternative crop suitable to be produced in semi-arid conditions. Grain amaranth production in the United States was 1,800 ha in 1991 (Stallknecht and Schulz-Schaeffer 1991). Most amaranth production is located in the Great Plains, especially in Western Nebraska (Williams and Brenner 1995),...
