"A Study of The Effect of Plant Density and Nitrogen on The Growth and Productivity of Soybean in Homs Province"

The research was executed within the season 2016, in the west of HOMS in the first settlement area. The study has showed the effect of plant density and nitrogen fertilization was studied on the growth and productivity of soybeans Glycine max L . (Sb44).

The phenotypic correlation and path analysis coefficient for grain yield and its components in four local maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate phenotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis for grain yield and its components in maize. Four local genotypes of yellow maize were evaluated in 2008 and 2009 growing seasons at two locations i.e. Damascus and Dir Al-Zor under three nitrogen fertilization levels (130, 195 and 260 of N. ha-1), The nitrogen fertilizer was applied at two splits. Split split plot design was used with 4 replications. Results of phenotypic correlation values showed that grain yield at Damascus location was positively and significantly associated with ear height (r= 0.204**), ear length (r= 0.205**) and number of rows per ear (r= 0.228**). On the other hand, grain yield at Dir Al-Zor location was positively and significantly associated with all studied traits at combined data whereas, it was positively and significantly associated with ear length at three levels and combined data (0.305*, 0.410**, 0.347** and 0.375**, respectively). The data of path coefficient analysis showed that ear length, ear height and number of rows per ear had positive direct effects on grain yield variation and thus grain yield improvement can be achieved through selection for ear length and ear height at Damascus location (11.06%). On the other side, data showed that each of ear height, number of kernels per row and 100-kernel weight had positive direct effects on grain yield variation (32.98%) and thus, 100-kernel weight can be considered as selection criteria may lead to the improvement of grain yield in yellow maize at Dir Al-Zor location.

Effect of tillage implements type, tillage depths and time of nitrogen fertilizer application on some soil properties and peanut growth.

The experiment was carried out in Tartous Governorate in the Qubeiba region in the two agricultural seasons 2011 and 2012 to study the effect of different types of ploughs, the depth of plowing, and the timing of adding nitrogen fertilizer on some physical and chemical properties of the soil and some growth indicators of peanuts and its productivity. Three types of plows were used: MP ), disc plow ( DP ) and backhoe plow ( CP ) .

أثر الكثافة النباتية و السماد الآزوتي في أداء بعض الطرز الوراثية المستنبطة محليًا من الذرة الصفراء

نفذت هذه الدراسة في ثلاثة مواقع بيئية مختلفة على مدى ثلاث سنوات متتالية على عدد من هجن الذرة الصفراء المستنبطة محليًا، بالتعاون بين كلية الزراعة بجامعة دمشق و دائرة بحوث الذرة في مديرية البحوث العلمية الزراعية بوزارة الزراعة و الإصلاح الزراعي. اتبع تصميم القطع تحت المنشقة لتحليل التباين لصفتي الإنتاجية و نسبة الرطوبة في الحبوب من ثلاثة مكررات استخدم برنامج MSTAT لمقارنة المتوسطات و لتحديد درجة المعنوية لكل من عامل الصنف، السماد الآزوتي و اختبار Dencan و الكثافة النباتية إضافة إلى الأفعال المتبادلة بين هذه العوامل و بينها و بين المواقع و السنوات.
