        The effects of transplanting and direct-seeding on agronomic traits and white sugar yield of sugar beet were studied in a split-plot experiment based on randomize complete blocks with three replications two regions of Miandoab and Bokan in 2016.  Treatments were three planting date (25 March, 8 and 18 April) and two planting systems (transplanting and direct-seeding .(Planting systems were assigned in the main plot and planting date in the subplots. The difference between direct and transplanting systems in terms of leaf area index, sugar extraction coefficient, root yield, white sugar yield and molasses sugar percentage were significant at 1% and sugar content and sugar yield at the 5% probability levels. The effect of sowing time on leaf area index, dry matter yield, sugar extraction coefficient, root yield, white sugar yield and sugar content of molasses were significant at 1%, and sugar content and sugar yield at 5% probability levels. The interaction effect of sowing time and planting system was significant on leaf area index, dry matter yield, sugar extraction coefficient, and root yield, white sugar yield at 1% and on sugar content at 5% probability levels. The transplanting system reduced the amount of molasses sugar by 32.41% compared to the direct planting system and the lowest percentages of molasses sugar were attributed to 25th of March planting date.  In the present study the highest leaf area index, dry matter yield, and sugar content, sugar extraction coefficient, root yield, and white sugar yield were allocated to the 25th of March planting date and transplanting system.

        Today, changing the pattern of planting towards dehydrating plants is proposed as a solution to drought. One of the plants resistant to drought is roselle. In this research, the effects of different levels of irrigation water, nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer on roselle were investigated. The experiments were carried out in a split plot design with four levels of irrigation water depths (I1, I2, I3 and I4, respectively 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the plant water requirement) and three levels of nitrogen (N1, N2 and N3 respectively 50, 75 and 100% nitrogen) as a sub plots and three levels of potassium (K1, K2 and K3 respectively 50, 75 and 100% potassium) as subplots. At the end of the experiment, plant height, capsule weight, dry yield, anthocyanin content and irrigation water productivity were measured. The results of the experiment showed that the effects of irrigation water and potassium fertilizer were significant at 1% and 5% probability level on all measured parameters and nitrogen fertilizer on all parameters except for irrigation water productivity. The highest yield was obtained from 100% fertilizer application and 100% water requirement, but no significant effect was observed between treatment of 100 and 75% of water requirement. The highest irrigation water productivity was obtained in 75% water treatment and 100% nitrogen and potassium fertilizer application, but no significant difference was found between different treatments of nitrogen fertilizer. Therefore, considering the status of the water in the area and the reduction of water resources, the use of 75% of the water requirement will save water consumption without having a significant effect on the reduction of yield. Also, due to dry weather conditions in Sistan province, the use of potassium and nitrogen fertilizer can modify the drought stresses in roselle. Manuscript profile

         This research was conducted in order to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals anddifferent levels of nitrogen on the quantitative and qualitative yield of the physiological andagronomic characteristics of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) in the research farm of IslamicAzad University, Yadgar-e-Imam Khomeini (RAH) Shahre Rey branch. The experiment wasbased on split plots based on completely randomized blocks design with 3 replications. Theexperimental treatments included three levels of irrigation (4, 7, and 10 days) as the mainfactor and different levels of nitrogen (0, 70, 100 and 130 kg/ha) were considered assecondary factors. The traits of plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, mean leafarea and dry matter yield were investigated. The results showed that except for the number ofsub-branches in the plant, the difference between different levels of irrigation intervals andnitrogen amounts were significant for all evaluated traits.The highest dry matter yield was related to the treatment combination of irrigating every 4 or7 days and 100 kg of nitrogen per hectare consumption.  Manuscript profile

        Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is one of the most important ancient fodder plants with special adaptability and quality that is cultivated in many parts of Iran. A field experiment in form of complete block design with three replications was conducted in Research Station of Agricultural and Natural Resources Research of Isfahan province during 2013- 2015. Twenty native populations from various regions of Iran were tested. Morphological characteristics, yield and fodder quality of plants was measured. According to results, there was less than 10 days difference among populations from planting to flowering stage. The phenological stages (beginning of spring growth, flowering time) in the second year began earlier than that of the first year. Maximum leaf number (127) and leaf/stem ratio (2.5) were obtained in Oshnavieh and 2759, respectively. PLC produced the highest dry matter content (31.27%) and dry forage yield (3179.3 kg ha-1) among populations. Populations also differed in terms of fodder quality. Most populations had adequate yield and quality potential for livestock feeding. Regarding variation in different traits among populations, each population can be used for different goals such as breeding programs, soil conservation and production of high dry matter yield. In generally, 3001 and 13535 populations (tolerant to powdery mildew disease) with acceptable forage yield and quality can be recommended in Isfahan climatic conditions.  Manuscript profile
