Objective: Selection of soybean cultivars that have a higher grain yield in water deficit conditions, reduces the damage to soybean producers.
Methods: The response of soybean genotypes to water deficit stress was investigated in terms of agricultural characteristics and grain yield in Karaj (Iran), during two years. The experiment was carried out as a split plot based on randomized complete block design in three replications. Therefore, three levels irrigation (irrigation after 50 (control), 100 (mild stress) and 150 mm (severe stress) evaporation from evaporation pan, Class A.) as a main plot and 10 soybean genotypes as a sub-plot.
Results: The results showed that mild and severe stress caused to decreased node number and inter-node compared to control irrigation. In control irrigation, the highest grain yield obtained from Saba (the early cultivar) 2585 kg/ha, with the highest seed number m2. Early genotypes had the highest grain yield in control irrigation, and their grain yield decreased significantly with increasing stress intensity. So that the grain yield of Saba cultivar was reduced in mild and severe stress, 32 and 59%, respectively, compared to control irrigation. In stress conditions, the late genotypes had the highest grain yield and water deficit stress caused to a slight decrease in their grain yield. In mild and severe stress, Williams×A3935 (the late line( had the highest grain yield and protein yield, respectively.
Conclusion: In control irrigation, the Saba cultivar and in stress conditions (mild and severe) Williams×A3935 line is recommended in karaj and similar climates (moderately cold region).

In order to develop winter cultivation and improve crop rotation in the region, an experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effects of sowing date on sunflower cultivars seed yield. It is a split-plot based on completed randomized blocks design with four replications in Safiabad Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center of Dezful and has taken place during two years (2015-2016). The main plots are consisted of four sowing date levels (23rd Jan, 6th Feb, 20th Feb, and 6th Mar), while the sub plots include nine levels of cultivars (Azargol, Armavirski, Barzegar, Progress, Record, Shams, Farokh, Ghasem, and Gabor). Delay in the sowing date has decreased growth period length and plant height, with the greatest number of seeds per capitulum (684.17) belonging to record cultivar on the first sowing date in the first year and the maximum one (767.47) occurring again to this cultivar on the third sowing date in the second year. The maximum seed yield in the first (3850 kg.ha-1) and second (4088 kg.ha-1) year belong to the first sowing date (23rd Jan) and Azargol cultivar. Based on the results, Azargol cultivar have had the lowest rank, being considered as the cultivar with the highest seed yield on all sowing dates, followed by Record and Armavirski, in the second and third placed, respectively. In terms of stability, considering that Farrokh cultivar also has had the lowest standard deviation, it has been selected as the most stable cultivar.

In order to evaluate the planting date delay on phenological traits, yield components, grain yield, and linoleic and linolenic fatty acids of new sunflower hybrids, an experiment has been conducted as split plot in a randomized, completely block design, with four replicates at the field of oilseed section of seed and plant Improvement during 2014-2016 growing season. The treatments include seven sunflower hybrids (Barzegar, Farrokh, Haysan 36, Qasem, Shams, Azargol, and Haysan 25) on three planting dates (15 days after harvest of autumn (wheat), July 1, July 15, and July 30, respectively). The experimental results show significant effects of planting date on all traits except number of seeds per head and linolenic acid at the level of 1% and on the percentage of oil and linoleic acid at the level of 5%. The studied hybrids are significantly different in all traits except linoleic and linolenic fatty acids. The latest experimental hybrids include Barzegar and Azargol hybrids and the earliest hybrid is Farrokh. The highest grain yield is obtained from the date of the first sowing at the rate of 2840 kg / ha and in the case of delayed sowing the yield is reduced to 41%.

The present study attempts to investigate the effect of Magnesium nanoparticle spraying solution on some morphophysiological traits of sunflower under experimental drought conditions. Hence, it conducts an experiment as split split plot in a randomized, completely block design, with three replicates at the field of oilseed section of seed and plant Improvement during 2017-2019 growing season. The treatments include drought stress at two levels: normal irrigation and drought stress. The studied sunflower cultivars include Farrokh, Shams, Qasem & Barzegar, and Magnesium nanoparticles application time at Three Levels: no spraying solution, spraying at flowering stage, and grain filling stage. Results show that drought stress reduces the amount of traits such as height, shoot dry weight, number of grains per head, 1000 grain weight, head diameter, grain yield, oil percentage, and oil yield; however, magnesium nanoparticle spraying solution improves the drought stress effect and increases morphological traits. Drought stress increases electrolyte leakage index and decreases relative water content of leaves by 13% and 9%, respectively. However, magnesium nanoparticles decrease the content of electrolyte leakage index by 9% and increase relative leaf water content by 10%. The cultivars’ response to stress levels has not been the same. In general, Barzegar, Shams, Qasem, and Farrokh cultivars show the highest tolerance to drought stress. Also the highest grain yield and oil percentage are related to Barzegar cultivar by 3427.53 kg/h and 43.96%, respectively.

The effect of water deficit stress has been evaluated on oil quality and yield of 11 sunflower hybrids in Karaj during 2012 and 2013. Three separate experiments have been carried out as the base of randomized complete block design with three replications to apply water deficit stress treatments. Irrigation of control, mild, and severe stress treatments are performed on the base of 60, 120, and 180 mm evaporation from Class A evaporation pan, respectively. Results show that seed yield has decreased about 18% and 33% in mild and sever water deficit stresses, respectively. Yield and oil percentage are affected by hybrids and the interaction of year and stress. Barzegar hybrid, with an average of 2846 kg/ha, has had the highest grain yield. It is also in the top group with 43.65% oil. Yield and seed oil percentage are affected by environmental conditions of years, while water deficict stress has no significant effect on oleic and linoleic acids. However, there is a strong negative correlation between oleic and linoleic acids. Hysun 25 and Sirena cultivars are suitable for oil production with higher oleic acid and Barzegar and G6×R-43 are suitable for oil production with higher linoleic acid.

The present experiment has been carried out as a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Safiabad Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center of Dezful between 2012 and 2014. The main plots is consisted of 3 sowing dates (November 5, November 25, and December 15) with the sub plots including 10 levels of foliar application (100, 200, 300 mg.lit-1 ascorbic acid, 100, 200, 300 μmol ascorbic acid, 10, 20, 30 vol% methanol, and the foliar application of distilled water as control treatment). The effect of sowing date and foliar application as well as their interaction has had significant effect on proline, soluble sugars, number of siliques per plant, and seed yield (P≤0.01). Comparing means of sowing date × foliar application shows that the maximum number of siliques per plant (68.96) has been formed in the first sowing date with the foliar application of ascorbic acid (300 mg.lit-1). There has been a significant difference between different sowing dates: the seed yield has decreased in the second and third sowing date, compared to the first one by 145% and 30%, respectively. However, foliar application of experimental treatments has increased the seed yield in all sowing dates, but it is recommended to use ascorbic acid (300 mg.lit-1) in the first and third sowing dates as well as salicylic acid (200 µmol) and methanol (10%) in the second sowing date.
