Study of different methods of cultivation and season in establishment of Sanguisorba minor in Homed Absard Research Station of Damavand

In order to achieve a suitable cultivation method and season of Sanguisorba minor</em> in rangelands, the present study was carried out during 2013-2016 in Homand Absard research station. The design was conducted in the form of split plots based on the randomized complete block design with three replications. Factor A was cultivation time (in two levels of fall and spring rangeland) in the main plots and factor B was cultivation method (in two levels of seeding and seeding combined with rainfall storage using crescent bounds) were located in the sub-plots. The percentage of plant establishment was recorded at the end of the growing season in each year. Analysis of variance was performed using SPSS 22 software and the means were compared by Duncan method. The results showed that season and cultivation method had a significant effect on species establishment. Fall cultivation was better than spring and sowing with rainfall storage was better than regular sowing. Last year's results showed that the highest percentage of establishment was related to fall cultivation with rainfall storage with 45% establishment that the seedlings reached flowers and seeds.
