In order to study the adaptability and determine the cultivation value of new corn hybrids, 16 forage maize genotypes of local and exotic origin were evaluated along with three common genotypes (KSC704, Bolson and Massil) in four different regions (Karaj, Maghan, Jovein and Dezful) using randomized complete block design with four replications in two years (2020 and 2021). Important traits such as days to flowering, plant height, ear height, ear-to-plant ratio and wet silage yield were recorded, based on the manual of value for cultivation and use test. To evaluate the yield stability, Francis and Kannenberg's environmental coefficient of variation was used. The results of two-years mean comparison of yield showed that Egean, Sy-Lavaredo, ZP873, Zarin2 and Zarin3 hybrids had the highest forage yield with 65.4, 64.8, 64.7, 63.8 and 62.3 tons per hectare, respectively, While the average yield of check varieties was 60 tons per hectare. Sy-Andromeda, Sy-Lavaredo, Egean, Jeta poly, Zarin 1, Zarin 2, Zarin 3 and ZP873 hybrids can be introduced with general adaptability, due to their higher yield and yield stability in comparison with the check varieties. Sy-Bilbao and BT-6470 hybrids are recommended in Karaj and Jovein regions and Ajeeb and ZP600 hybrids are also recommended in Jovein region with specific adaptability. ZP707, RGT-Joxxlin, RGT-Coruxxo and Exxupery hybrids do not deserve to release as a new variety because of low forage yield and yield adaptability in comparison with the check varieties.

In order to study of the effect of storage duration on some germination and vigor indicators of three wheat cultivars seed in the north of Khuzestan province weather conditions an experiment was conducted at Agriculture and Natural Resources Research and Education center of Safiabad - Dezful in 2021. Experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design by four replications. Experiment factors include: four storage durations, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days and three wheat cultivars, Chamran2, Mehregan and Shabrang. Studied traits include: 1000 seed weight, seed germination rete, mean time and energy, normal seedling percent, seed allometric coefficient and vigor index. Results showed cultivar and storage duration interaction affected all studied traits. Shabrang cultivar seeds stored during 30 days had the most 1000 seed weight and the same cultivars seed stored during 120 days had the lowest normal seedling percent. Mehregan cultivars seed stored during 30 days had the most seed germination rete and energy, normal seedling percent, seed allometric coefficient and vigor index and the lowest mean germination time. Based on seed germination and vigor indicators evaluated by this research, studied wheat cultivars seeds were different for storability and in comparison of other studiec cultivars, Mehregan cultivar seeds had better storability behavior at North of Khuzestan province weather conditions.

This study was conducted to evaluate the health and quality of onion seeds that were submitted to Seed and Plant Certification and Registration Institute (SPCRI) in 2016-2017 for obtaining a certificate. For this purpose, the germination rate and seed vigor of 9 onion cultivars were evaluated in the seed quality analysis laboratory. Botrytis allii infection was assessed in the second part of onion seed samples based on Blatter method. Third part of onion seeds was cultivated based on a completely randomized block design with 3 replications in two regions (Karaj and Dezfoul) and two years. Gray rot prevalence in field and its effect on seedling emergence and yield was investigated. Results showed that seed germination of different onion cultivars were significantly different from each other. Also, cold and accelerated aging treatment significantly reduced germination of onion seeds. Seeds treated by carboxin thiram fungicide were free of gray rot, but untreated seeds were infected with an average of 1-4% of the causative agent. The level of infection was not related to onion seed germination, seedling field establishment and yield.

To investigate the role of seed size on maize germination characteristics, an experiment was conducted in 2014 in the Laboratory of Registration and Certification of Seeds and Plants, Khuzestan Branch. Treatments included three levels of seed size (control (mixed), large and small) and hybrids at three levels (KSC704, Karun and Mobin). The results of these experiments showed that the hybrid had a significant impact on germination percentage, the rate of germination, vigor index, root and shoot length and dry weight of seedling. In addition, the highest germination (94.3%), the rate of germination (8.4 seeds per day), vigor index (37.6), shoot length (21 cm), root fresh weight (3.1 gr) and dry weight of seedlings (0.59 g) affected by seed size belonged to the Karun hybrid. Generally speaking, in terms of germination and seedling growth, there were differences among the three groups of maize seeds. Out of the hybrids scrutinized, Karun hybrid was a better one in terms of germination and growth of seedlings.
Highlights:1. Due to higher storage capacity, the use of large seeds brings about increases in the seedling germination rate and their establishment in the field
2.The use of large seeds with more seed vigor decreases competition between seedlings and reduces vapor from the field.

A breeding program was started in Safiabad Agricultural Research Center in 1999, to produce an improved maize hybrid with a relative heat stress tolerance. Consequently at 2005 a few S6 lines with having moderately tolerance to high temperature were obtained. These combinates were then evaluated for three consecutive years in three sub-tropical regions of the country includes Khzestan, Ilam and Kerman (Jiroft) in the semi final, final and on-farm experiments. These experiments resulted to selection of a hybrid with a relatively high temperature tolerance (produced by crossing of SLD45/1/2-1 × SLH2/29/14/2-4/1 lines). This hybrid was 12 days physiologically early-mature than SC704 hybrid SC704 (control), and heat stress tolerance due to the shorter of tassel to silk initiation period (1.5 days in average). This line had 10500-11500 kg ha-1 average seed yield and non-significant difference with the control in experiments. Now because of farmers enthusiasm, seed production level of this hybrid is about 200 ha and consequently over 25000 ha of farms are planting by this line across tropical regions of the country
