in order to study the effect of planting date on phonological stages and quantity traits of four cultivars of winter rapeseed, an experiment was carried out in 2008-2009 at the research field of agriculture research station of boyerahmad. the experiment was carried out in using factorial with randomized complete block design and four replications. four planting dates (september 12, september 22...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sowing date on morphology, yield parameters, as well as oil percentage and fatty acids composition of castor bean. the experiment was carried out at research farm of tarbiatmodaresuniversity, in randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2010. plants were grown at six sowing dates of 5th april, 20th april, 5th may, 20th ma...

as water is the most restrictive factor in national agricultural production, it is necessary to take decreased water consumption and increased water us efficiency in crop production into consideration. nowadays, spring sugar beet production areas are concentrated in the region with water limitation and hence, the increase in spring production area contradicts the principle of water and soil con...

Machinery for sowing wheat directly into rice residues has become more common in the rice-wheat systems of the north-west Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, with increasing numbers of farmers now potentially able to access the benefits of residue retention. However, surface residue retention affects soil water and temperature dynamics, thus the optimum sowing date and irrigation management for...

sowing date and irrigation are two constrain factors for maize production. these factors can be simulated by using ceres-maize model. for this purpose two experiments (each one at two years) were carried out at agricultural research station of gorgan which is golestan province capital. the model was calibrated using three treatments of optimum irrigation and without stress in 2012 and two treat...

given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of tarbiat modares university during 2007 growing season. experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. in this research, sow...

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...

The sensitivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] main stem node accrual to ambient temperature has been documented in greenhousegrown plants but not with fi eld-grown plants in the north-central United States. Biweekly V-node and R-stage, stem node number, internode length, and other traits were quantifi ed in an irrigated split-plot, four-replicate, randomized complete block experiment cond...
