this study was conducted to evaluate traits that have an effect on yield, and genetic variation for these traits, including dry matter accumulation, remobilization, and traits associated with them, in 10 grain sorghum genotypes obtained from the national plant gene bank of iran under moisture stress conditions. field trials were carried out in the 2008 cropping season using split-plot arrangeme...

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...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grain yield is severely affected by abiotic and biotic stresses during post-flowering stages, which has been aggravated by climate change. New parental lines having genes for various biotic and abiotic stress tolerances have the potential to mitigate this negative effect. Field studies were conducted under irrigated and dryland conditions with 128 exotic ge...

Rice-rice system and rice fallows are no longer productive in Southeast Asia. Crop and varietal diversification of the rice based cropping systems may improve the productivity and profitability of the systems. Diversification is also a viable option to mitigate the risk of climate change. In Eastern India, farmers cultivate rice during rainy season (June-September) and land leftovers fallow aft...

the aim of this study was to investigate the genotype effect on nitrogen remobilization and its relationship with yield and grain protein concentration in genotypes of wheat during grain filling. twelve wheat cultivars different in origin and varying with grain yield and grain protein percentage were selected. a randomized complete block design was used. plants were harvested at anthesis and ma...

n order to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer rates and top dressed on nitrogen remobilization in different rice cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in the rice research institute of iran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 factors were used in which fertilizer rates in 3 levels (including 46,...

A delay in the mechanical transplantation (MT) of rice seedlings frequently occurs in Huanghuai wheat-rice rotation cropping districts of China, due to the late harvest of wheat, the poor weather conditions and the insufficiency of transplanters, missing the optimum transplanting time and causing seedlings to age. To identify how delaying transplanting rice affects the agronomic characteristics...
