WEED SUPPRESSING ABILITY OF DIFFERENT BREAD WHEAT GENOTYPES IN DRYLANDS OF WESTERN IRAN
A genetic option for increasing wheat production is to reduce menace of weeds through developing
or screening weed tolerant wheat genotypes. To screen bread wheat genotypes tolerant to weeds in
dryland conditions, twenty ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to
2000, ...
