faba bean is one of the proper crops for cultivation in guilan climate conditions in rotation with rice. one of the limiting factors in development of cultivating this plant is late maturity and synchronizing of its ripening with rice transplanting. to investigate the effect of planting date, timing and consumption rate of paraquat herbicide on the ripening, grain yield and some of the agronomi...

Alternariol and alternariol monomethyl ether are commonly associated with weathered grain sorghum. Production of these metabolites and altenuene by isolates of Alternaria alternata was evaluated on various sterile grain substrates. At 35% moisture content and 25 C, metabolite yields were highest on rice, intermediate on sorghums, and lowest on wheat and yellow corn. Fourteen-to 21-day cultures ...

Cereal Chern. 75(1):100-104 Correlations among grain sorghum quality factors (proximate composition, physical properties, and water absorption properties) were evaluated. Samples of 46 commercial hybrids (24 and 22 from crop years 1993 and 1994) were analyzed for starch, protein, crude free fat, test weight, absolute density, 1,000 kernel weight, percent kernel abraded, water absorption index, ...

We have examined some of the characteristics of moisture advection and its relation to precipitation over Australia. Seasonal extremes of moisture advection have changed considerably during the latter part of the 20th century. Analysis of its skewness reveals that the relative occurrence of these events has increased. A kurtosis analysis shows that there has been a geographical shift of where t...

Wheat growth in response to soil water deficit play an important role in yield stability. A field experiment was conducted for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the period of 2002–2005 to evaluate the effects of limited irrigation on winter wheat growth. 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% and 40% of field capacity was applied at different stages of crop growth. Photosynthetic characteristics of winter...

in order to study the effect of harvesting time on yield of rapeseed cultivars, this research work was carried out at paddy fields of rice research institute of iran in rasht andamol during 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 cropping seasons. the experiment was conducted in a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. four rapeseed cultivars including hyola 308, hyola 40...
