Modeling unstructured heterogeneity along with spatially correlated errors in field trials
In this paper we consider analysis of two experimental data sets for evaluating lentil genotypes. One of these data sets comes from an incomplete block design and the other one from a complete block design. The incomplete blocks contribute to...
Adaptation of Small-Seeded Red Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) to Diverse Environments
The lentil improvement program of ICARDA benefits from the information generated by the Legume International Nursery Network operating globally. Over the period 1996 to 2002, 12 different types of trials comprising lentil genotypes with weights
Manure application setback effect on phosphorus and sediment in runoff
Surface application of animal manure increases nutrients at the soil surface with increased potential for nutrient loss in runoff. Non-application setbacks are often required with the intent to reduce nutrient loss to surface water. The...
Water Productivity of Irrigated Wheat and Maize in the Karkheh River Basin of Iran
The Karkheh River Basin (KRB) is the third largest and most productive river basin of Iran. The major agricultural issue of the KRB is low water use efficiencies. Farmers' irrigation practices are aimed at maximizing crop production through...
Prediction of Soil Depth from Digital Terrain Data by Integrating Statistical and Visual Approaches
Information about the spatial distribution of soil attributes is indispensable for many land resource management applications; however, the ability of soil maps to supply such information for modern modeling tools is questionable. The objectives...
Relationship of seedling and adult plant resistance and evaluation of wheat germplasm against tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis)
Genetic resistance is the most effective, economical and environment friendly method of managing tan spot of wheat caused by the ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. (anamorph Drechslera tritici-repentis, Died.). This study...
