We propose a procedure for estimating the critical values of the extended KolmogorovSmirnov tests of Stochastic Dominance of arbitrary order in the general K-prospect case. We allow for the observations to be serially dependent and, for the first time, we can accommodate general dependence amongst the prospects which are to be ranked. Also, the prospects may be the residuals from certain condit...

objective: drought stress is most important factor which reduce root and shoot growth in crops. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and zn fertilizer on root traits of four cultivars of chickpea. methods: experiment was laid out in a split plot-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatment stand in main...

to determine the effect of sowing dates (22 oct., 5 nov., 21 nov. and 5 dec.) on the green pod and dry seed yield of faba bean (vicia faba), field experiments were conducted using rcb design with four replications for three cropping seasons (1995-1998) at hashem abad research station in golestan province. result, of combined analysis of variance showed that 22 oct. and 21 nov. produced higher g...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

drought, specially in reproductive stage is one of the major constraints, limiting the productivity of crops, including chickpea (cicer arietinum l.). to study the effects of drought during pod set and seed filling stages (terminal drought) on phenology, growth and seed yield of 5 kabuli chickpea genotypes of: arman, jam, hasham, flip93-93 (azad) and ilc482, an experiment was conducted during t...

a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out in order to study the effect of different strains of mesorhizobium ciceri on chickpea tolerance under drought stress. in the first step of experiment, five native cultivars of chickpea (bivanij, arman, greet, jam and hashem) were inoculated with eight native (c-15, c-22, swri7, swri9 and swri4) ...

this experiment was conducted to determine gene action for different traits of chickpea including days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100-seeds weight, number of pods per plant and seed yield. five genotypes including arman, hashem, ilc588, iccv2 and ilc3279 were selected and crossed with each other. four generations of each cross along with parents were evaluated in a random...

plant photosynthetate partitioning is important in seed yield formation. in this research, in order to study grain filling procedure of chickpea in the presense of drought stress and nitrogen (n) fertilizer on remobilization rate, final grain weight and grain yield were measured. experiment was performed in an split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. droug...

in order to study the effect of supplementary irrigation and different plant densities on grain yield and yield components of chickpea cv hashem, an experiment was conducted as split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in sirvan, ilam during 2008-2009 cropping season. main plot included supplementary irrigation (check as non-irrigation, supplementary i...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...
