Abstract
In order to determine the effect of plant density on yield and qualitative traits of four genotypes of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) an experiment was conduct in Research Farm of Kabotar Abad, Isfahan province, Iran, in 2009. The statistical design was factorial arrangement in complete randomized blocks with four replications. Four plant density (6, 8, 10 and 12 plants/m2) and four genotypes of sunflower (Arm-mok18-85, S1R-85-ES, MOK13-85 and KC20/83ES85) were considered. The results indicated that the effect of plant density was significant on all measured traits except oil percentage, ratio of nut to seed coat, protein percentage and number of days to physiological maturity. The effect of genotype was significant on all traits except head diameter, number of seeds per m2, oil yield, protein percentage and harvest index. Interaction of plant density and genotype was significant on oil yield, biologic yield and number of days to physiological maturity (p<0.01). The highest yield (3500.52 kg/ha) was produced in by plants/m2 and Arm-mok18-85 genotype. In general, results indicated that there was no significant difference for seed yield between 10 and 12 plants/m2 densities. Therefore, to decrease seed consumption, it seems that 10 plants/m2 could be recommended.

Abstract
In order to study the effect of sowing date on grain yield and grain-filling duration of triticale cultivars, an experiment was conducted based on strip-plot experiment with four replicates at Ramin Agricultural Research and Educational Center (RAREC) during 2009-10. The sowing date treatments were November, 10th (Aban, 20th) and December, 4th (Azar, 14th) and the cultivars include: ET.79-3،ET.79-4،ET.79-17،ET.82-8،ET.82-15،ET.82-1،ET.83-20،ET.84-5،ET.84-8،ET.84-15،ET.85-7، ET.85-9, and Govanilo -91. Results showed that the sowing date had significant effect on the duration from planting to tillering, the duration from planting to spiking, and the amount of chlorophyll. There were significant differences between the cultivars for plant height, spike height, the duration from planting to spiking, and the amount of chlorophyll. The first sowing date with 34.13-day duration of grain-filling had lower filling rate in comparison to the second sowing date. In the second planting date, due to more heat, the during of grain-filling period was reduced to 25.5 days. Nevertheless, as a result of the proper temperature at the region, grain-filling rate increased to 1.51 mg/day. Therefore, in order to increase the grain-yield and 1000 –seed-weight, one possible way is to use the cultivars which, along with the heat-stress tolerance, are capable of increasing the duration of grain-filling through increasing their photosynthesis. As a result, ET.79-3, ET.82-16, and Javanilo-92 cultivars in late-sowing time (Dec, 4th) and ET.84-5 and ET.79-17 in early-sowing (Nov, 10th) showed to have maximum grain yield.

Abstract
In order to study the tolerance mechanism of spring bread cultivars to wild oat competition, an experiment was conducted in research farm of Ramin Agricultural and Natural Resources University of Khouzestan as strip block with three replications during 2010-2011 growing season. Experimental factors were wild oat densities includ 0 (as control) and 80 plant/m2 as horizontal plots and ten wheat cultivars include Chamran (Atila), Baz, Atrak, Arvand, Maroon, Shoeleh, Chenab, Veree/Nak and Falat (Seri 82) as vertical plots. By using competition index, cultivars divided in four groups of mid-susceptible, medium, mid-tolerant and tolerant. Also modeling of competition of wheat cultivars with wild oat, between measured traits, trait of weed biomass has highest direct reduction effect (-0.609) on competition index. Also, wheat traits such as grain number in spikelet has highest direct reduction effect (0.498) and death plant percent has highest indirect reduction effect (-0.307) on competition effect. But wheat biomass although indirect increase effect by effect on weed biomass and thousand grains weight of wheat, has highest direct and positive effect (-0.395) on competition index. Other effective trait was thousand grain weight of wheat that by direct and positive effect (0.270) resulted in increase in competition effect of cultivars.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 at Safiabad Agricultural Research Center to assess the effects of sowing date on the yield of canola genotypes. The design was a split plot in a completely randomized block with 3 replications. Main plots consisted of 3 levels of sowing date (November 1st , November 16th and December 1st) and subplots included 7 canola cultivars (Hyola60, Hyola308, Hyola330, Hyola401, Hyola420, RGS003 and Option500). Grain yield was decreased by 5.72% and 21.27% in the second and third sowing dates compared with the first one, respectively. The results of interaction between sowing date and cultivars showed that the highest grain yield (5055.09 Kg/ha) at the first sowing date (Nov 1st) belonged to Hyola420 cultivar and the lowest grain yield (2360.68 Kg/ha) at the third sowing date (Dec 1st) to the Option500 cultivar. The number of pods per plant was decreased by 20.61% and 36.02% in the second and the third sowing dates compared with the first one, respectively. The highest (28.93) number of grains per pod belonged to Hyola401 cultivar sown on December 1st and the lowest (15.69) ) number of grains per pod belonged to Hyola60 cultivar sown on December 1st. Considering the results of the experiment, the sowing date of Nov 1st for Hyola420 cultivar, and Nov 1st and Nov 16th for other cultivars could be appropriate.

Abstract
Effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and cutting time of forage on grain and forage yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Karoon cultivar was studied during 1995-1996 at Ramin Agricultural Research and Educational Center, University of Shahid Chamran, Ahwas, by using a split plot design in randomized complete block with 4 replications. Main plots were assigned to five levels of N fertilizer (45, 90, 135, 180 and 225 kg N/ha) as urea fertilizer and subplots to three cutting times (no cutting, cutting forage at early stem elongation without removing reproductive meristem and cutting forage in the middle of stem elongation with cut reproductive meristem).
The effects of N rates and cutting time on grain yield were significant. Maximum yield was obtained with 281.6 g/m2 when crop plants received 90 kg N/ha and cutting time at early stem elongation and minimum yield was obtained (158.2 g/m2) with 45 kg N/ha and cutting forage in the middle of stem elongation. Interactive effect of levels of N and cutting time on spike number per m2, grain number in spike and grain weight were significant. Among yield components, spike number and grain weight showed the highest sensitivity to both. Different levels of N increased forage protein concentration and protein yield significantly, but delay in cutting time decreased protein concentration and increased protein yield. Results indicated that high levels of N could not compensate for the delay in cutting time of forage for grain yield. It was concluded that application of 90 kg N/ha and cutting time in early stem elongation was preferable for grain and forage production as compared to other treatments.

Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of Filter Cake application on some morpho-physiological characteristics and yield of sweet corn (Zea mays var saccharata) under different irrigation regimes, an experiment was conducted in Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University, Khuzestan, in 2012. The experiment was arranged in split-plot design in RCBD (Completely Randomized Block Design) with three replications. Treatments were drought stress (irrigation after 25, 50 and 75% depletion of available water content) in main plots and Filter Cake (0, 10, 20 and 30 tonha-1) arranged in sub-plots. Results showed that drought stress increased electrolyte leakage (EL) and proline content (PC) while height of plant, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll stability index and ear and grain yield were decreased. The intensive drought stress had the greatest effect on EL and PC (54% increase), and decreased ear and grain yield by21 and 37% compared to control, respectively. Application of filter cake on non-stress condition increased height of plant and economic yield. But Filter Cake in intensive stress reduced RWC and yield and increased EL compared to control. Also, the application of 30 tonha-1 of Filter Cake in intensive stress condition decreased ear and grain yield by 14.5 and 10.7% respectively. Thus, positive effect of Filter Cake application was clear on non-stress condition, but on drought stress condition it decreased the economic yield.

Abstract
Grain yield of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is reduced by heat stress, particularly when occurs in reproductive phase, in many countries worldwide, including Iran. In order to study the effects of different levels of nitrogen and cytokinin on wheat yield and yield components at normal and heat stress conditions in Khuzestan, Iran, this research was conducted at Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University in 2010-2011. This study was carried out in two separate factorial experiments in randomized complete block design with four replications. The first experiment was planted in a normal date and the second experiment was planted late (Terminal heat stress). In both experiments, nitrogen (N) was applied in four levels (0, 75, 150, and 225 kgha-1) and Cytokinin (Ck) sprayed in three levels (0, 50 and 100 µM). The results of both experiments (normal and stress conditions) showed that by increasing the N rate, the grain yield (5652.1 and 3874.7 Kg/ha respectively), biological yield, number of spikes per m2, spikelet’s per spike, grains per spike were significantly (p<0.01) increased. Application of Ck at normal sowing date increased the grain yield (4856.7 kg/ha) and 1000 grain weight (41 gr) significantly (p<0.01) and at late sowing date only increased 1000 grain weight (30.2 gr) significantly (p<0.01). Application of N and Ck in both experiments significantly increased grain yield (p<0.05) and only at late sowing date increased 1000 grain weight significantly (p<0.01). Based on our findings, application of N and Ck may lead to the amelioration of terminal heat stress effects on bread wheat in hot regions such as Ahwaz.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of sugarcane (Sacharum officinarum L.) filter muds and chemical and biological fertilizers application on macro- and micronutrient elements and some heavy metals (Pb and Cd) absorption by canola (Brassica napus L.) grains, a factorial experiment was conducted in 2012 in the Experimental Farm of Ramin (Mollasani) Agriculture and Natural Resources University of Khouzestan, Iran. A complete blocks design was used for the experiment with three replications. Different integrated treatments of filter muds and chemical fertilizers (A1: 100% filter muds, A2: 75% filter muds + 25% chemical fertilizers, A3: 50% filter muds + 50% chemical fertilizers, A4: 25% filter muds + 75% chemical fertilizers and A5: 100% chemical fertilizers) along with two levels of biological fertilizers application (with and without biological fertilizers) were investigated. The biological fertilizers investigated in this study were Nitroxin and Barvar2. Application of filter muds led to decreases in nitrogen, phosphorus and Cd of canola seeds. On the other hand, increase of filter muds application led to increase of Zn, Cu, Fe and Pb content in canola seeds. Biological and chemical fertilizers application resulted in increases of nitrogen, phosphorus and cadmium contents in canola seeds. Biofertilizers also increased phosphorus and cadmium contents in canola seeds.

Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of water deficit on yield and morphological characteristics of four alfalfa cultivars an experiment was conducted as a split plot in randomized complete block design with 3 replications in Agriculture Research Center of Khuzestan, Ahwaz, Iran, during 201l-2012. Main plots included irrigation regimes (normal irrigation, irrigation at 50% available water content (AWC) depletion, 65% AWC depletion and 80% AWC depletion) and subplots were 4 cultivars of alfalfa (Baghdadi, Mesasirsa, Yazdi and Hamedani). The result of 5 cuttings showed that maximum hay forage yield was achieved under normal irrigation in all cultivars. The Baghdadi cultivar produced the highest hay yield at all irrigation treatments, though the hay yield decreased with delay in irrigation. The leaf/stem ratio increased by 22 percent when the cultivars where subjected to 50% AWC depletion. Stem height, LAI and the weight of single stem were decreased by delay in irrigation. Specific leaf area (SLA) decreased in all cultivars due to water deficit, though the extent of the decrease was greater for Baghdadi cultivar. The water deficit affected stem number in a cultivar-specific manner as it increased in Baghdadi and Mesasirsa cultivars and decreased in other cultivars. The Baghdadi and Mesasirsa appeared to be the most tolerant cultivars in Khuzestan conditions.

Abstract
In order to study the redistribution response of photosynthetic assimilates of different spring bread wheat cultivars in different densities of wild oat, an experiment was conducted based on a strip block experiment with three replications at the Research Farm of Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University, Ahwaz, Iran during 2012. Treatments were four oat densities (0, 40, 80 and 120 plants m-2) in horizontal strips and 10 spring bread wheat cultivars (Chamran, Baz, Atrak, Arvand, Maroon, Shoeleh, Chenab, Veree/Nak and Falat) in vertical strips. Results showed that with increase in oat density up to 120 plants m-2, efficiency and percentage of the assimilates redistribution was increased, but current assimilates contributed less to the grain filling and grain yield. However, dwarf and early maturing cultivars of Veree/Nak and Atrak, with 2400 Kg ha-1 and Chenab with 2200 Kg ha-1 of redistribution appeared to benefit from an efficient transport system against the weed (wild oat). In contrast to the dwarf cultivars, the tall cultivar of Arvand with minimum assimilates redistribution of 600 Kg ha-1 and maximum amount of current assimilates of 3700 Kg ha-1 and also Shoeleh and Maroon were less dependent on their stem reserves at the grain filling stage.

Abstract
In order to investigate the best planting time and rice cultivars for the conditions in Khuzestan Province, seven high quality cultivars of rice namely Domsiah, Binam, Ramasanali Tarom, Sang Tarom, Hasansarai, Tarom Mahalli, Daylamani and Anboori were selected and studied in 4 planting dates starting in Mid-May, with intervals of 15 days. The experiment was conducted as a split plot design in randomized complete blocks with 3 replications for 2 years from 1995 in Shavoor Agricultural Research Station. Main plots were planting dates and subplots were allocated to cultivars.
Results of this experiment showed that significant differences existed among planting dates on grain yield only in the second year. Grain yields were different among cultivars in the two years of study. Simple and combined analyses indicated that there were significant interactive effects between planting dates and cultivars. Tiller number was different between planting date and cultivars in the first year. Interactive effect between planting date and cultivars on tiller number was not significant. Maximum grain number in spike obtained early June planting date (76 grains per spike) and lowest grain number in spike obtained early May planting date (28 grains). Among cultivars, Anboori with 152 and Daylamani with 17 grains had maximum and minimum grain numbers in spike, respectively. One-thousand grain weight was maximum in the early June planting date. Among cultivars, Binam and Daylamani had maximum and minimum grain weights, respectively. Highest fertility percentage was obtained in early June planting date compared to other planting dates. Fertility percentage of cultivars depended on temperature at growth stages before and at anthesis, which was early June for all cultivars. Among environmental factors affecting plant growth, temperature was relatively more important than other factors, particularly than the photoperiod. Even under Khuzestan conditions, there is a wide range of temperature levels for rice planting (from early March to early November) however, even this wide temperature range may not be enough to provide favourable conditions for planting all the cultivars.

Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the effect of growth-promoting bacteria on yield and some traits of maize. This experiment was performed as a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm of Islamic Azad University, Izeh branch, Iran. The experimental factors included four strains of plant growth-promoting bacteria: Pseudomonas fluorescent 169 (B1), Pseudomonas fluorescent 79 (B2), Pseudomonas putida 108 (B3), Pseudomonas putida 159 (B4) and without bacteria (control, B5) and two corn varieties namely sc 704 (A1) and Bolson (A2). Before planting corn seeds were soaked with liquid inoculation. Plant height, number of leaves per plant and ear, forage yield, dry matter and dry matter digestibility of leaf, stem and ear, crude protein and cell wall without hemicellulose in the leaf, stem and ear were evaluated. Analysis of variances showed that the effects of varieties, bacteria and their interaction on all traits were significant. Plant height, number of leaves per plant and ear, forage yield, dry matter and stem dry matter digestibility were higher in Bolson. Moreover, dry matter digestibility of leaf and ear, crude protein and cell wall without hemicellulose in the leaf, stem and ear of sc 704 were greater, compared to hybrid Bolson. Plant height, number of leaves per plant and ear, forage yield, dry matter and dry matter digestibility of stem and ear were greater in at the presence of fluorescent strains than those of putida strains. The results revealed that bacterial inoculation enhances the grain yield, yield components and quality of forage maize. Bolson seemed potent to outperform sc 704, though this proposition needs further examination in future field trials.

Abstract
This study was carried out to assess the effect of coated urea fertilizer on yield and yield components of sweet corn
(KSC 403) under different irrigation regimes, in Ramin Agriculture and Natural Sciences University, Iran by using strip split plot in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Three levels of deficit irrigation (100%, 80 and 60% of calculated water requirement of sweet corn) were assigned as vertical factor and six sources of urea fertilizer (without urea, un-coated urea, sulfur-coated urea fertilizer, starch-coated urea, agar-coated urea and chitin-coated urea) were assigned to horizontal factor. Effects of deficit water and source of fertilizer were statistically significant on plant height, 1000 kernel weight, ear diameter, and number of rows per ear, ear yield, biological yield and harvest index. Maximum of plant height (153.23 cm), 1000 kernel weight (104.51 g), grain yield (9853.3 kg/ha) and biological yield (12471.6 kg/ha) were obtained in chitin coated urea fertilizer. Maximum of ear diameter (4.67 cm) and number of row per ear (13.22) were achieved in agar coated urea fertilizer and that of harvest index (45.79%) was indicated by starch-coated urea. Maximum of length of ear, number of kernels per row and grain yield were 23.65cm, 25.83 and 7142 kg/ha, respectively, and were obtained with the using of chitin-coated urea fertilizer and 100% water requirement. Minimum values of these traits were 13.54 cm, 5.56 and 871 kg/ha, respectively, and were obtained by using of control (no urea application) and 60% water requirement. Results showed that biopolymer coated urea is potent to improve some morphological characteristics and increase grain yield of sweet corn.

Abstract
To determine the appropriate proportion of oat mixed cropped with berseem clover under manure application levels, an experiment was carried out in the crop year 2015-2016; this study was carried out in Khuzestan Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, as a split-plot design on the basis of RCBD with three replications. In this experiment, manure levels including: 0, 12, 24and 36 ton.ha-1 from the composted cow manure, and five proportions of oat mixed cropped with clover, which includedI: sole crop of oat, II: 75% oat + 25% clover, III: 50% oat+ 50% clover, IV: 25% oat + 75% clover, and V: clover sole cropped, were placed in the main plot and sub-plots, respectively. The results showed that the highest dry forage yield (12849 kg.ha-1) was obtained from the 50% oat mixed with the 50% clover, and the highest fresh forage yield was obtained from the 25% oat mixed with the 75% clover in the rate of 36 ton.ha-1 of manure. The highest N content of forage (3.41%) was observed by the sole cropping of clover. On the other hand, the highest amounts of N harvest from the soil (384.65 kg.ha-1), the P contents of forage (0.41%), and the P harvest from the soil (52.68 kg.ha-1) were obtained from the 50% oat mixed cropped with 50% of clover in the rate of 36 ton.ha-1 of manure. In addition, the highest fructose and glucose contents were observed in the sole cropping of oat in the rate of 24 ton.ha-1 of manure. The highest Ca and Fe contents were also found in the sole cropping of clover and the treatment of the 75% oat mixed cropped with the 25% clover, respectively. Generally, it could be concluded that the use of clover as some N fixing crop in the soil along with oat in the rate of 36 ton.ha-1 of manure could result in the optimum forage yield and quality.

Abstract
Terminal heat stress in hot and dry conditions like Ahwaz reduces the quantitative and qualitative yield of wheat. In order to study the effect of terminal heat stress on grain filling period duration, grain filling rate and quantitative and qualitative yield of 20 spring bread wheat cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in Research Farm of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan, Iran in 2008-2009 as stripe block design and included four sowing dates (6 Nov., 6 Dec., 5 Jan. and 4 Feb.) in horizontal plots and 20 spring bread wheat cultivars in vertical plots with three replications. The analysis of variance showed that sowing date, genotypes and their interaction had a significant effect on measured traits. The mean comparison of interaction effect showed that in sowing date of 6 Dec. the highest grain yield (7254 kg/ha) was related to Chamran cultivar and the lowest grain yield (5445 kg/ha) belonged to Maroon cultivar. In terminal heat stress condition (sowing date of 4 Feb.), the highest grain yield (2323 kg/ha) was related to Maroon cultivar and the lowest grain yield (1258 kg/ha) belonged to Hamoon cultivar. Generally, in early (6 Nov.), timely (6 Dec.) and late (5 Jan) seeding, Chamran cultivar was suitable and in very late (4 Feb.) sowing, cultivars of Maroon, Virinak, Arvand and Atrak were suitable.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of different concentrations of humic acid on guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) yield and nutrient uptake in different sowing densities, an experiment was carried out by using a split plot design with three replications based on a randomized complete block design, in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan, Iran at summer 2016. Experimental factors consisted of four levels of humic acid (0, 5, 10 and 15 kg/ha) as the main plots and four plant densities (35, 55, 75 and 95 plants/m2) as sub plots. The density of 35 plants/m2 and 15 kg/ha humic led to increase in nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc and iron content of the plant. Moreover, the highest nitrogen harvest (295 kg/ha) was obtained from density of 95 plants/m2 and 15 kg/ha of humic acid. The lowest plant protein content (8.84%) was obtained from density of 95 plants/m2 and without application of humic acid. The highest grain yield and dry matter (4209 and 17955 kg/ha, respectively) were obtained from density of 95 plant/m2 and application of 15 kg/ha humic acid. Generally, it seems that high levels of plant density (greater than 95 plant/m-2) must be evaluated for cultivation of guar in Khuzestan province. In addition, application of humic acid may lead to significantly increase of guar yield in the region.
