lead to continuing effects for increasing extensive of yield by means of advanced agronomic operations and selection of high yielding resistant genotypes. there fore, due to evaluation and determination of best effective traits in improvement of yield and grain quality of local populations of winter wheat, an experiment was carried out in uremia agricultural research station, on 30 local popula...

in order to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulfur fertilizers on yield, yield components, content of some elements, qualitative and quantitative traits of spring safflower (serin cv.) an experiment was conducted at agriculture and natural resource research station of ardabil in 2008. this experiment was carried out in factorial experiment in completely randomized block des...

in order to study the intercropping arrangements of coriander (coriandrum sativum l.) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l.), a field experiment was conducted during growing season of 2010 at agriculture research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. treatments included: mono-crop of fenu...

in order to investigate genetic correlation and path analysis between grain yield and yield components, fifteen early maturing hybrids of grain corn (zea. mays) using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications were evaluated in khoramabad agricultural research center, iran. the data were collected and analyzed for ear emergence date, anthesis date, maturity date, plant height, ear h...

United States energy policy mandates increased use of renewable fuels. Restoring grasslands could contribute to a portion of this requirement through biomass harvest for bioenergy use. We investigated which plant community characteristics are associated with differences in biomass yield from a range of realistic native prairie plantings (n = 11; i.e., conservation planting, restoration, and wil...

at the crop level, the drought stress accounts for most variations in yield. a controlled glasshouse investigation at day/night temperatures of 22/15°c based at perth city, western australia was performed (in 2006) to assess the influence of different soil moisture contents (field capacity percentage basis) on emergence as well as early plant growth in twenty chickpea genotypes. the experiment ...

Marginal croplands, such as those in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), have been suggested as a source of biomass for biofuel production. However, little is known about the composition of plant species on these conservation grasslands or their potential for ethanol production. Our objective was to assess the potential of CRP and other conservation grasslands for biofuel production, descri...
