To study adaptation and grain yield stability of durum wheat genotypes, 18 durum wheat promising lines with two commercial durum and bread wheat cultivars were used. The durum wheat genotypes were evaluated in four locations; Isfahan, Karaj, Kermanshah and Neishabour in temperate agro-climate zone of Iran in 2013-14 and 2014-15 cropping cycles. The experiments were conducted using ranodomized complete block design with three replications. Combined analyses of variance were performed for grain yield. The genotype and genotype × year × location effects were significant. Therefore, for more precise evaluation of genotype by environment interactions and grain yield stability, parametric and non-parametric analysis methods such as AMMI, rank and standadard deveiation (SD) of rank, coefficient of environmental variation was employed. Results of all three stability analysis methods showed that genotypes no. 3 and no. 4 with high grain yield (8650 and 8699 kg.ha, respectively) and low G × E interaction were adapted with grain yield stability durum wheat genotypes. These superior durum wheat genotypes were identified for being released as new commercial durum wheat cultivars for temperate agro-climatic zone of Iran.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131650734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of yield potential and resistance to rhizoctonia (Rhizoctonia solani) disease of new sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) hybrids. Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 21(2): 173-187 (In Persian). Rhizoctonia root rot disease is considered as one of the important diseases in sugar beet. Using resistant cultivars decreses production costs, especially application of fungicides and increases the efficiency in controlling of root rot disease. Therefore, growing of resistant cultivars is considered the best approach for disease control. To achieve this goal and to determine yield potential of new sugar beet hybrids resistant to Rhizoctonia root rot disease, 92 hybrids as well as susceptible and resistant cultivars were evaluated in two experiments in research field of Ekbatan station of Hamedan, Iran in 2016. Considering the experimental results and with respect to the average effect of pollinators and single crosses, 20 hybrids were selected and evaluated in Karaj, Hamedan, Ghazvin, Torbate Jam and Shiraz regions in 2017. Evaluation of hybrids in term of resistance to rhizoctonia was simultaneously performed under micro-plot conditions in Hamedan. In both years (2015 and 2016), the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with six replications. The results of resistance evaluation under micro-plot conditions reavealed that five hybrids consisting; 9, 13, 16, 4 and 18 were more resistant than cv. Ekbatan for resistance to rhizoctonia root rot disease. Yield potential evaluation in different locations showed that new hybrids had desirable level of yield potential and most of them had no significant difference with cv. Ekbatan.Considering the results of resistance to rhizochtonia disease and yield potential evaluation, three hybrids no. 4 (SC(P.395*P.90)*P.165), no. 9 (SC(P.395*P.90)*P.121) and no. 16 (SC(P.395*P.23)*P.165) that were more resistance with higher yield potential in comparison with cv. Ekbatan were identified as promising hybrids for being evaluated in Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) test. Key word: Rhizoctonia, Root rot disease, Root yield, Sugar beet and Sugar yield.

Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 21(1): 16-30. (In Persian). To study the effect of planting pattern and fertilizer source on agronomic characteritics of linseed and chickpea in intercropping in rainfed conditions, a field experiment was conducted as factorial arrangenents in randomized complete block design with three replications in Naqadeh, Iran in 2016-2017 cropping season. The first factor included six cropping patterns; one row chickpea: one row linseed, two rows chickpea: two rows linseed, four rows chickpea: two rows linseed, two rows chickpea: four rows linseed and sole cropping of each crops. The second factor included four fertilizer sources; without fertilizer (Control), 100% chemical fertilizers (NPK), biofertilizers (Azoto Barvar1+ Phosphate Barvar2+ PotaBarvar2+ Sulfur Barvar1) and vermicompost (10 t.ha). The results showed that the effect of intercropping ratios and fertilizer sources were significant on seed yield, biological yield, oil content and oil yield of lineseed and seed yield and biological yield, number of rhizobium nodules and protein content of seed of chickpea. The highest seed yield of both species was obtained from sole cropping (linseed 945 kg.ha and chickpea 629 kg.ha), however, the average seed yield of each crop, in the same per unit area, was higher than sole cropping (linseed 161. 5 and chicpea 128.5 kg.ha). The oil content of linseed (6.60%) and seed protein content of chickpea (20.26%) were higher in intercropping as compared with sole cropping. The use of fertilizer sources, especially the use of vermicompost, could increase the studied traits of both species in comparison with the control. The maximum LER (1.55) obtained from four rows of chickpea + two rows of linseed in control (without fertilizer). This means that intercropping improved land use efficiency by 55% when compared with sole cropping. Considering the goals of sustainable agriculture and elimination of chemical inputs, the intercropping ratio of four rows of chickpea + two rows of linseed without fertilizer application was more suitable package.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124467953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(In Persian). Assessment of leaf growth, development and phyllochron in sugarcane commercial cultivars is very important for better management of agronomic practices. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in Amir Kabir agro-industrial farm in the south of Khuzestan, Iran in 2015-16 using randomized complete block design three replications. The sugarcane cultivars included CP69-1062, CP57-614, CP73-21. The results showed that phyllochron was cultivar dependent characteristic. The leaf appearnce rate in the CP57-614 cultivar was the highest followed by CP69-1062 and CP73-21 cultivars, respectively. Cultivar CP73-21 had more stable leaf growth and development pattern, but it did not have the same number of leaf and leaf area in comparison with other cultivars. Correlation cofficients showed that the relationashipe between leaf area and leaf number was significant. In cold seasons, autumn and winter, when the temperature dropped, leaf growth and development decreased, and this was more pronounced in cv. CP57-614. Cultivar CP69-1062 produced the highest stem yield, but cv. CP73-21 and cv. CP57-614 had better stem quality properties. Considering the observed differences among sugarcane cultivars, this information of growth stages and leaf development can be useful for crop management of these sugarcane cultivars, and enhance the input use efficiency and crop performance.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"18 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120813861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with 14 treatments and four replications in in two locations in Ahwaz, Iran, in 2016-2017. Treatments included: sole sugarcane, sole soybean, sole cowpea, sole soybean+rhizobium, sole cowpea+rhizobium, sole sugarcane+mycorrhizal, intercropping sugarcane with cowpea, intercropping sugarcane with soybean, intercropping sugarcane with cowpea+rhizobium, intercropping sugarcane with soybean+rhizobium, intercropping sugarcane+mycorrhiza and cowpea, intercropping sugarcane+mycorrhiza and soybean, intercropping sugarcane+mycorrhiza and soybean+rhizobium, intercropping sugarcane+mycorrhiza and cowpea+rhizobium. The results showed that the radiation use efficiency was higher in intercroppings than sole crops. The highest radiation use efficiency (1.9 g.Mj), the highest LER (2.06) and the highest stem yield of sugarcane (112.8 t.ha) belonged to intercropping sugarcane+mycorrhiza and cowpea+rhizobium treatments. Weeds were well controlled without using herbicides in intercropping treatments. Light extinction coefficient (K) for cowpea and soybeans was significantly different in locations, but there was no significant difference for sugarcane sole crop. The highest LAI obtained in cowpea (4.6) and the lowest K (0.427) was measured in the sole cowpea + rhizobium. The highest K in sugarcane (0.473) obtained in sole sugarcane crop while the highest K in cowpea (0.595) obtained in intercropping with sugarcane. The results of this experiment showed that the synergistic effects of mycorrhiza and cowpea and sugarcane was positive on studied traits.

Maize is one of the most important grain and forage crop, that has a unique role in the food and feed industry, especially poultry feed. To estimate combinig ability and gene action and to identify the best hybrid combination for different morphological traits, experiments were designed and carried out as diallel crossing with 10 parents at Gorgan Agricultural Research Station, Gorgan, Iran, in 2013. The progenies were grown in randomized complete block design with three replications in two locations including; Araghi-Mahaleh in Gorganand Gonbad Agricultural Research Stations in Gonbad, Iran, in 2014. Data for days from emergence to silking, days from silking to physiological maturity, number of row.ear-1, grain yield, plant height and number of grain.ear-1, were measured and recorded. Analysis of variance was performed separately for each location, and then combined analysis of variance was also performed. The effects of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant on most traits, which implied that both additive and non-additive actions were involved in controlling these traits.

Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 21(1): 31-44(In Persian). To evaluate the effect of seed priming and application of cytokinin and auxin on grain yield wheat cv. Chamran, an experiment was carried out in Faculty of Agriculture, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran, in 2015-16 and 2016-17 growing seasons. This experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications. Experiment was carried out in a factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments included seed priming (hydropriming and control) and plant growth regulators application (nine cytokinin and auxin application levels at one and two weeks after anthesis). The results showed that hydropriming significantly increased grain yield by about 8% in comparison with control (7030 and 6507 kg.ha, respectively). Application of cytokinin and auxin hormones had positive effect on photosynthesis and soluble proteins of flag leaf. In addition, number of endosperm cells was also increased by application of growth regulators. The highest effect on increasing source strength was observed in application of cytokinin in both times of foliar application. Grain filling rate was also significantly highest, about 1.79 mg grain day, in cytokinin-cytokinin foliar application, followed by auxincytokinin. Grain yield in cytokinin-cytokinin (7891 kg.ha) increased by 24.7% in comparison with control. Interaction effect of seed priming × plant growth regulator application was not significant for any traits. Results of this experiment showed that seed priming increased number of spike per.m.
