Cashmere quality of Raeini goats kept by nomads in Iran
The income of the nomads in Kerman Province depends mainly on Raeini goats that produce meat, milk and cashmere. This paper assesses the cashmere quality and its variation in Raeini herds to determine the scope for ...
Identifying Superior Rainfed Barley Genotypes in Farmers' Fields Using Participatory Varietal Selection
This study was carried out to identify superior barley genotypes for the rainfed areas of western Iran using a participatory varietal selection (PVS) approach. Three field experiments were conducted in two randomly selected ...
Graphic Analysis of Trait Relations and Genotype Evaluation in Durum Wheat
Trait profiles of genotypes and trait relations are frequently influenced by unpredictable conditions in the Mediterranean rainfed regions. Thus, genotype selection should be based on multiple traits in variable environments ...
Xanthium strumarium: a weed host of components of begomovirus-betasatellite complexes affecting crops
Xanthium strumarium is a common weed that often shows symptoms typical of begomovirus infection, such as leaf curling and vein thickening. The virus complex isolated from the weed consisted of two begomoviruses along with ...
Genotype x Environment Interaction for Durum Wheat Grain Yield and Selection for Drought Tolerance in Irrigated and Droughted Environments in Iran
Durum wheat is grown in the Mediterranean region under stressful and variable environmental conditions. In a 4-year-long experiment, 14 genotypes [including 11 durum breeding lines, two durum (Zardak) and bread (Sardari) ...
No-till lentil: An option for profitable harvest in dry areas
No-till lentil holds promise for minimizing soil and crop residue disturbance, controlling soil evaporation, minimizing erosion losses, sequestering carbon and reducing energy needs. These effects reduce overall cost of ...
Evaluation of durum wheat experimental lines under different climate and water regime conditions of Iran
In the Mediterranean region, grain yield of durum wheat is frequently limited by both high temperature and drought during grain filling. Atotal of six sets of paired trials, including 18 durum experimental lines and two ...
Chlorophyll Fluorescence Parameters and Drought Tolerance in a Mapping Population of Winter Bread Wheat in the Highlands of Irand
The usefulness of fluorescence parameters as drought tolerance selection criteria for winter bread wheat in the highlands of Iran was studied. A population of 142 recombinant inbred lines, derived from a cross between two ...
Boron Deficiency In Rainfed Wheat In Pakistan: Incidence, Spatial Variability And Management Strategies
Boron (B) deficiency is potentially an important nutrient constraint in calcareous soils. We determined B deficiency incidence and spatial distribution in rainfed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in 1.82 Mha Pothohar plateau ...
