The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction between planting date and the nitrogen application rate on the growth and yield of winter wheat in Torbat-e-Jam, Khorasan Razavi province. The field experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with split plot arrangements and three replications in Torbat-e-Jam, in the 2019-2020. Experimental treatments included three planting dates: 1 October, 17 October and 2 November as the main plot, and nitrogen fertilizer at levels 0 (as a control), 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 kg nitrogen ha-1 as a subplot. Pishtaz cultivar was planted in experimental plots which included 7 planting lines with a row spacing of 15 cm and a length of 8 m. The results of the analysis of variance showed that planting date and nitrogen fertilizer application and their interaction had a significant effect on all measured traits. The results showed that the yield and yield components were the highest on 1 October, and the values of most of these traits showed a significant decrease in planting on 12 November compared to 10 October. The highest grain yield was obtained from a nitrogen application rate of 200 kg ha-1 on 1 October and 16 October, while the maximum yield was obtained with an application rate of 175 kg ha-1 on 2 November. The growth and yield response of wheat to the rate of nitrogen application decreased with a delay in planting date, and the option of planting date must be considered in order to recommend efficient fertilizer usage.

In order to investigate the yield and yield components of Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) genotypes to supplementary irrigation in rainfed conditions, a two-year study has been conducted in the form of split strip plots based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at stations Shirvan, Kohnehkand and Mohammadabad research stations in North Khorasan during 2019-2020 cropping years. The main factor includes irrigation levels at three levels: rainfed, two irrigations (after planting and filling seed time), and three irrigations (after planting, pod formation and filling seed), with the second factor being guar genotypes at four levels. The three Genotypes include RGC-1077, RGC-1036, RGC-1025, and Chabahar local population. Results of the combined analysis show that there has been no significant difference between genotype except in the number of days to flowering. On the other hand, the effect of supplementary irrigation treatment on yield characteristics compared to rainfed conditions is significant, though there has not been any significant difference between two and three times of supplementary irrigation. Guar seed yield in the first and second years in the Ashkhaneh region (750.5 and 219.1 kg.ha-1) outperforms Bojnourd and Shirvan. The highest grain yield (590 kg.ha-1) is obtained in the first year from double irrigation and in the second year (271.51 kg.ha-1) from three irrigations. Among the experimental genotypes, the highest grain yield belongs to the RGC-1025 genotype. In general, guar culture of the RGC-1025 genotype can be recommended in the Ashkhaneh area..

In order to evaluate the yield components, seed yield, and oil content of Camelina doubled haploid lines, an experiment has been conducted based on a randomized complete block design with 40 doubled haploid lines (as treatments) and three replications in the research farm of College of Aburaihan- the University of Tehran, Pakdasht during 2020. Since the yield characteristics and oil content of Camelina lines are unknown in the Iranian climate, the study investigates seed yield components, as well as oil yield and oil content of 40 Camelina lines. The results show a very significant difference between Camelina lines in terms of yield components, which ultimately leads to significant differences in grain yield, thus affecting the grain oil yield. Although none of the lines has had absolute superiority in all components of grain yield, in terms of final grain yield, line of 134 with 3178 and line of 110 with 3120 kg/ha are identified as superior lines. Therefore, according to the purpose of this study, in order to select the best Camelina line with maximum grain and oil yield, 134 and 110 lines are introduced and recommended as superior and promising lines that are compatible with the climatic conditions of the Pakdasht region.

In order to evaluate the increment possibility of safflower seed yield and oil percentage through the application of cytokinin, a split factorial experiment has been conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research farm of Agriculture Faculty, the University of Zanjan, during the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 cropping seasons. In this experiment, irrigation levels include optimal irrigation and drought stress to main plots and safflower cultivars, namely Sina, Faraman, Parnyan, Gholdasht, and Mahaly Esfahan, and three levels of cytokinin (6-Benzyl Aminopurine), including non-application (control), 50, and 75 μM, have been allocated to subplots as factorial. At the flowering stage, simultaneous with applying drought stress, safflower plants havee been sprayed with 6-Benzyl Aminopurine. Results show that drought stress has decreased yield components, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, oil percentage, and oil yield and the application of cytokinin minimizes the negative impacts of drought stress, while boosting the above traits. The highest seed yield has been obtained from applying 75 μM of cytokinin, with an increase of 30.7% compared to the control. Also, among the studied cultivars, the Mahaly Esfahan cultivar under optimal irrigation with an average of 36.09% shows a higher oil percentage, compared to other cultivars. Therefore, the use of cytokinin can be suggested as a solution to decrease the negative effects of drought stress and enhance seed yield and oil percentage of safflower under optimal irrigation and drought stress conditions.

A factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research fields of Faculty of Agriculture of Tarbiat Modares University, during 2017-2018 growing season. Treatments consisted of three different levels of salinity stress (control), salinity of 5 and 10 dS.m-1) and two levels of calcium silicate (control and foliar application of 8 kg.ha-1) which salinity stress was applied from the beginning of flowering and the calcium silicate was applied at flowering time, and dry weight of the plant, grain yield, yield components, harvest index, oil yield, oil percentage and greenness were evaluated. Foliar application of calcium silicate had positive effects on the all of the traits in both Zarfam and Sarigol cultivars and it increased yield in rapeseed. On the other hand, it was observed that Sarigol had a higher amount in number of pods, number of seeds per pod, 1000 grain weight, harvest index, oil percentage, oil yield and greenness index than the Zarfam. Zarfam had the maximum plant dry weight. In addition, it was observed that salinity stress at 5 and 10 dS.m-1 had negative effects on all studied traits in present study. In general, salinity stress reduced the yield and yield components of rapeseed and the use of calcium silicate reduced the negative effects of salinity stress in both Zarfam and Sarigol cultivars and Sarigol cultivar had more resistance than Zarfam cultivar to salt stress and it used more effectively from calcium silicate.

In order to evaluate the increment possibility of bean seed yield by the application of brassinosteroid, a split factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of Agriculture Faculty, the University of Zanjan during the 2016-2017 cropping season. In this experiment, irrigation levels included optimal irrigation and drought stress were applied to main plots and bean cultivars including Kusha cultivar and COS16 genotype, and four levels of brassinosteroid including of no-application (control), two, four and six μM were allocated to subplots as factorial. Drought stress was applied at the flowering stage, and bean plants were sprayed with brassinosteroid (epibrassinolide) simultaneously with drought stress. The results showed that drought stress decreased leaf area index, yield components, seed yield, biological yield and harvest index and the application of epibrassinolide minimized the negative effects of drought stress and increased in the above traits. The highest seed yield was obtained by application of two μM of epibrassinolide with an average of 2068.2 kg.ha-1. Also, among the studied cultivars, the Kusha cultivar under optimal irrigation with an average of 3025.45 kg.ha-1 showed a higher seed yield compared to COS16 genotype. Therefore, the use of epibrassinolide can be suggested as a solution to increase drought stress resistance and enhance seed yield of bean under optimal irrigation and drought stress conditions.

In order to study the effect of terminal drought stress on agronomic and qualitative traits of canola genotypes in the application of ammonium sulfate condition, an experiment was performed during two years of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. This study was conducted as a factorial split-plot design based on completely randomized block design with three replicates at the research farm of the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute (SPII). At the pod formation stage, irrigation factors were included two levels, normal and restricted, and at the elongation stage, ammonium sulfate was included two levels of 0 and 150 kg per hectare, as factorial was set in the main plots and cultivars including BAL111, BAL119, BAL121, BAL128, and Nima were set in subplots. The results showed that among the genotypes examined, line BAL128 had the highest grain yield (3904 kg/ha), which increased 28% compared with the control treatment. The highest amount of grain oil (45.53 percent) was obtained in the second year of experiment and under normal irrigation conditions. By application of ammonium sulfate, the amount of oil increased by 2.5 percent in comparison with normal condition. The BAL128 line had the highest percentage of grain oil (44.29%). in normal irrigation condition, the use of ammonium sulfate resulted in decreasing the amount of glucosinolate to 22.88%. However, in restricted irrigation condition, the amount of glucosinolate decreased to 17.25 percent. In the irrigation and fertilizer treatments of this experiment, among the lines studied, The BAL128 line is recommended for similar experimental conditions.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of sowing date and hydropriming on the yield of two cotton cultivars using a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design in three replications at the Research Farm of Islamic Azad University, Sanandaj Branch in 2013 growing season. The first factor was sowing date with three levels: April 29, May 13, and May 27. The second factor was hydropriming in two levels of control (without priming) and hydro-priming application and the third factor was cultivar with two levels of Paak and Varamin cultivars. Results showed that seed hydropriming at the first sowing date (April 29) significantly increased seed cotton yield in comparison with control (without priming), however hydropriming had no effects on seed cotton at the second and the third sowing dates. Varamin cultivar responded well to early planting and its yield at the first sowing date was significantly higher than that of Paak cultivar whereas there was no difference between two cultivars regarding seed cotton yield at the other sowing dates. Delay in sowing date and non-priming treatments resulted in a significant decrease in oil content of Paak cultivar, but had no significant effect on the oil content of Varamin cultivar.

This experiment was carried out to study of the effects of seed size and seeding date on phenological, morphological and agronomic characteristics of faba bean under rainfed conditions in Gorgan. The experiment was conducted using ‘Barakat’ cultivar at the research field of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences in 2013-2014 growing season. The experimental design was a split plot in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Planting dates (26 Nov., 19 Dec., 2013 and 11 Feb. and 10 Mar., 2014) and seed size (small, medium, large) were arranged in main- and sub-plots, respectively. According to the results, emergence rate of seeds planted in 26 Nov. and 10 Mar. was higher than the other two planting dates, and the emergence rate of small and medium seeds was more than large seeds. Also, time to maturity was 190 days on November planting date. Time to maturity was decreased with delay in planting date, and reduced to 86 days on March planting. The results showed a significant reduction of the number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight which led to reduction in green pod and grain yield with delay in planting, respectively. Based on the results of this experiment, to achieve further yields of faba bean under rainfed conditions in Gorgan, early planting and use of larger seeds for planting is recommended.

Energy efficiency is an important index for evaluating the sustainability of cropping systems. Therefore, the effect of supplemental irrigation on grain yield and energy efficiency of barley was evaluated under dry land farming system. The experiment had two treatments (with and without supplemental irrigation at flowering stage) and seven replications. Grain yield was evaluated by measuring grain yield, spike per unit area, grain per spike, 1000-grain weight, biological yield and harvest index. Energy efficiency of the system was evaluated by calculating input energy and output energy of the system used for measuring energy ratio and net output energy indices. Results indicated that supplemental irrigation at flowering stage, increased barley grain yield from 1523.56 to 2259.29 kg.ha-1 affected by grain number per spike, since 1000-grain weight and spike per unit area were not significantly affected by supplemental irrigation. Total energy input of barley dry land farming was 29812 MJ.ha-1. Supplemental irrigation was resulted in 683 MJ.ha-1 energy addition to cropping system. However, because of 48 percent increasing in grain yield resulted in 10819 MJ.ha-1 energy output of the system, which increased energy ratio and net output energy to 45 percent and 10133 MJ.ha-1, respectively. Therefore, a supplemental irrigation at flowering stage, addition to increasing of grain yield, can improve energy efficiency of barley dry land farming system.

Effect of complementary irrigation during reproductive growth stage on grain yield, percent and yield of oil and energy efficiency of rapeseed was evaluated in a dry land farming system. Experiment was conducted with three treatments (without complementary irrigation, one complementary irrigation during flowering and two complementary irrigations during flowering and grain filling periods) and three replications. Results indicated that silique number, grain number per silique, 1000-grain weight, biological yield, harvest index, percent and yield of oil were significantly (P≤0.01) improved by complementary irrigation. One and two complementary irrigation improved grain yield by 56 and 91 percent, respectively. Oil percent increased by one and two complementary irrigation from 32.18 to 35.0 and 37.22 percent, suggesting the improvement of oil yield up to 43 and 75 percent, respectively. Total energy input of barley dry land farming was 29007 MJ.ha-1, where the height input energy was belong to fertilizer. Supplemental irrigations increased input energy of the system. However, 488 and 789 kg/ha increasing in grain yield of one and two complementary irrigations resulted in 10596 (56 percent) and 17121 (91 percent) MJ.ha-1 of energy output of the system, respectively, suggesting supplemental irrigation can improve energy efficiency of rapeseed dry land farming system.

To study the response of yield,yield components,protein and oil content of soybean cultivars to delay in planting in Shirvan region, an experiment was conducted at Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Shirvan in 2010. In this study, nine soybean cultivars (Habit, Hack, Black Hack, Cencutry, Cloumbos, Clark, Sahar, Zane and Willams) were evaluated at different sowing dates (20 May, 4 June and 20 June) in factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The results indicated that yield components, protein content and grain yield significantly reduced by delay planting. The first planting (20 May) had the highest grain yield (2338 kg/ha). There were significant differences between soybean cultivars for grain yield and other traits except oil content. Zane cultivar had the highest grain yield. Sahar cultivar had the lowest grain yield due to the reduced harvest index, increase days to flowering and days to poding. The results indicated that delay in planting causes reduction in grain yield. Zane, Black Hack, and Hack cultivars had the highest grain yield in all planting dates.

In order to investigate the impact of foliar Zn application in reducing the negative effects of water stress on bean growth and yield, a field experiment was carried out in the Research Field of Ilam University in 2011. The experiment was arranged in split factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental factors were water stress including water withholding at flowering, water withholding at pod formation and control (full irrigation) as main plot, and the factorial of Zn application levels including; 0, 2000 and 4000 ppm and two bean cultivars including; Akhtar and Dorsa as sub-plots. Results showed that water stress significantly reduced grain yield and the lowest grain yield obtained from water stress at flowering stage. The highest (3163.6 kg/ha) grain yield achieved by Zn application with 4000 ppm concentration. There was a significant difference between cultivars in different treatments and in overall Dorsa with 3846.4 kg/ha produced the highest grain yield. According to the results the most sensitive stage of bean plants to water stress is flowering stage and Zn application with a concentration of at least 4000 ppm can improve plant tolerance to water deficit.
