In this study, we investigated the effect of irrigation regimen on the growth and yield of summer corn (Zea mays L.) at grain�filling stages. The experimental study was conducted during the summer season of the Iraqi Kurdistan region in 2021, in two sites in the Erbil governorate (Gueer and Qushtapa). A factorial experiment within a Randomized Com...

Chlorophyll content and leaf area are important biochemical and biophysical regulators of water, energy and carbon exchange during photosynthesis. The present study was carried out during 2020 (autumn) and 2021 (spring) at the agronomy experimental station, College of Agricultural Engineering Science, Salahaddin University, Erbil, Iraq to identify...

This study was targeted to consider the influence of previous crops and different seeding rates on yield and components of bread wheat. A factorial experiment within a randomized complete block design, with three replicates, including three seeding rates (30, 35, and 40 kg.don-1), and three kinds of arable land (Legume field, Vegetable field, and W...

Genetic diversity among ten maize genotypes (seven inbred lines and three testers) was investigated using ten simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Primers (bnlg128, bnlg1839, Umc1117, bnlg1144, and bnlg1152) generated the highest number of bands (4 bands) for inbred lines while the primer bnlg128 showing the highest number of bands (3 bands) for testers...

This study was initiated with the objective of estimating heterosis, combing ability of selected conventional maize genotypes, comparison between hybrids, parents, and testers. Ten maize genotypes were selected (three testers and seven lines). The crosses were done in a Line × Tester mating design to produce 21 F1 single spring hybrids during 2018....
