  1 - Effect of drought stress and methanol on soybean (Williams) seed yield, oil and protein percentage
  
  Field experiment was conducted to study the interaction methanol foliar application and drought stress on soybean yield in 2008 in Maahdasht (Karaj, Iran). Three levels of irrigation (after 40, 60 and 70% depletion of available water) and 4 doses of methanol (0, 14, 21 More

  Field experiment was conducted to study the interaction methanol foliar application and drought stress on soybean yield in 2008 in Maahdasht (Karaj, Iran). Three levels of irrigation (after 40, 60 and 70% depletion of available water) and 4 doses of methanol (0, 14, 21 and 28% of percentage volume of methanol to 0.2% glycine in each solution factor in a split plot arrange of treatment with four replication. 3 times spray was applied by time period of 14 days on plants foliage. Grain yield, oil and protein percentage were measured. Results of the experiment indicated that there was a significant difference between irrigation levels, methanol doses and interaction effects. Treatment of T1M3 (40% available water and 21% of methanol) had the highest yield with the 2890.5 kg/ha grain. Treatment T3M1 (70% available water and 14% of methanol) with 1384.5 kg/ha grain was at the least of yield level. The most protein and oil yield with 1112.11 and 639.06 kg/ha was for treatment of T1M3 and least protein and oil yield with 473.59 and 262.88 kg/ha was for treatment T3M1. Manuscript profile

  2 - Evaluation of mung bean genotypes (Vigna radiate L. Wilczek) response to sowing date in Dezful region
  
  To study the effect of sowing time on yield and yield components of mung bean genotypes an investigation was carried out during 2007 in Dezful region in complete randomized block design with four replications. Mung bean genotypes were in four levels (V1) VC3-960-8, (V More

  To study the effect of sowing time on yield and yield components of mung bean genotypes an investigation was carried out during 2007 in Dezful region in complete randomized block design with four replications. Mung bean genotypes were in four levels (V1) VC3-960-8, (V2) NM92, (V3) Gohar and V4 (CN-9-3) and also sowing times were in tree levels (D1) 22 June, (D2) 6 July and (D3) 22 July 2007. Results of mean comparisons showed that the first sowing date (D1) obtained the highest grain yield (2019.7 kg/ha) and biological yield (5286.6 kg/ha) and pods in plant (23) respectively. Results also showed highest thousand kernel weight (60g), number of seeds in pod (10) and harvest index (41%) were obtained in (D3). Further study of the genotypes effects and comparisons of the mean difference of traits showed the highest number of pods in plant (34), number of seeds in pod (12), pod length (9.1 cm), plant height (89.6 cm), grain yield (2362.2 kg/ha), biological yield (6489 kg/ha) obtained in NM92 genotype. NM92 genotype variety yielded a better performance than other genotypes. Results of interaction effects of sowing date and genotypes showed that D1V2 treatment with 2662.2 kg/ha grain yield and 36 pods per plant were the most appropriate. D1V3 treatment with 13 seeds in pod was the best treatments. The overall conclusion being that the first planting date (D1) and NM92 (V2) genotype are better than other genotypes for cultivation of mung bean in Dezful region. Manuscript profile
