Corn is cultivated as a strategic crop in most parts of the world to meet animal and human feed needs. In this study, there is an attitude that nitrogen fertilizer and conservation tillage (CT) can be useful in increasing and improving the desired yield of corn and reducing economic costs. On the other hand, the development of tillage systems and farmers' acceptance of them requires a serious study of these factors on the growth and yield indicators of corn and weed management. This study showed that the growth and development of corn are very much affected by nitrogen; therefore, nitrogen fertilizer's optimal use is essential. The quantitative and qualitative yield of corn is affected by the type of tillage system. CT has shown more promising results over several consecutive years. Weed flora is affected by tillage and nitrogen fertilizer in terms of density and species diversity of weeds in fields. Therefore, proper management is necessary to maintain all aspects of environmental agriculture to use the type of tillage systems and the optimal use of nitrogen fertilizer to control weeds. Therefore, this study was intended to guide further studies in the future for further investigation. However, little information was available on the effects of CT and nitrogen on corn weeds. However, an attempt has been made to examine some of the critical factors more prominently that significantly affect maize's agro-ecophysiological properties.

The present study deals with the detailed ethnomedical botanical observations on the use of various plants used by the tribals and rural people of the study area against tumors and cancer symptoms. It was found that 20 plant species were enumerated for the treatment of tumor growth. Most of these plants are easily available and usually found in the wild. During 2018-2020, intensive surveys were conducted in tribal inhabited localities and villages near dense forests. You will get information about these plants and how the drug is prepared and administered. This information is preliminary in nature and may feed into advanced scientific and therapeutic studies to develop useful, approved drugs for the treatment of human tumors and cancers.

Luxurious truffles have always been among the most popular symbiotic microorganisms, but there have been limited efforts to identify specific truffle species in forest systems around the world. Recent developments in molecular techniques have rapidly improved our ability to identify microorganisms responsible for the formation of truffles with different tree species. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify and describe two species of truffles occurring in deciduous forests of Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran. <em>Choiromyces venosus</em> and <em>Tuber aestivum</em> were identified by a combination of morphological characterization, cytological methods and molecular analysis. Molecular characterization was performed by amplification and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of nuclear rDNA. Based on the ITS sequences, Iranian specimens were placed in the same branch in a clade with <em>T. aestivum</em> and <em>C. venosus</em>. All sequences of <em>C. venosus</em> and <em>T. aestivum</em>, including the Iranian specimens, had an average similarity of 99.5% (the range was from 99 to 100%). Moreover, the diverse forests of Iran are a rich habitat for the ectomycorrhiza of truffle fungi. Due to the wide range of climatic conditions and forest communities in Iran, further studies are needed on the identification, diversity, ecology, phylogeny and economic value of Iranian truffles.

Newly introduced high-yielding rice varieties were not accepted by farmers, who preferred to use the common local varieties. The decline in acreage of newly introduced varieties has changed research priorities to match improved rice varieties with consumer preferences for rice breeding programs. The first generation and its parents, gene action, and combining ability of various traits were evaluated in 2005. Simultaneously with the cleaning of lines in each breeding population, three backcrosses (with abbreviations BC4, BC9 and BC25) were selected from the 38 original crosses and simulated with the returning parent with 4 crosses. By testing the selected lines in 2012 in a preliminary yield trial, 8 lines were selected. The multisite trial was conducted in the form of randomized complete block experiment with 3 replications at three locations including Rasht, Abkenar and Chaparsar in two cropping years (2013-2014). The GGE biplot results showed that the first two components explained 65% and 27% of the data changes. The stability or two dimensional axis plot of average tester coordinates showed that BC9, BC25, RI18436-46 and Saleh genotypes had high yield and high stability, BC4 had high yield and medium stability. BC4 was selected as superior genotype having medium stability and high grain yield (5.25 tons per hectare), suitable growing period (112.5 days), medium amylose content (20.5%) and optimum plant height (107.5 cm). Line BC4 is considered one of the early and dwarf varieties and has the same cooking quality as local Iranian varieties. This new line was introduced in Iranian agriculture in 2016 under the name Gilaneh. The cultivated area of this variety increased from 10 hectares in 2016 to 2029 hectares in 2019.

Cowpea (<em>Vigna unguiculata</em> L.) is one of the valuable products whose cultivation is expanding. This plant, like other crops, has certain phenological stages and each of these stages requires a specific growth period. Therefore, by determining the necessary conditions for the growth of this plant, the appropriate area for its cultivation can be determined. One of these conditions is the required temperature for each phenological step, which can be calculated through the Growth Degree Day (GDD) thermal unit. The present study was conducted in the field of Baghdadi cultivar (with a growth period of 90 to 110 days) in the field of open-air potted cultivation in the city of Ahvaz from March 2019 to June 2019. Stages studied include emergence to early growth (number of days from planting to emergence of cotyledons, emergence of primary leaves, emergence of the first three leaflets), rapid vegetative growth until the emergence of the first flower (emergence of the third three leaflets, beginning of flowering), flowering Pod and formation was pod filling (VR<sub>123</sub>, VR<sub>45</sub>, R<sub>67</sub>, R<sub>8</sub> and R<sub>9</sub> maturation, respectively). To determine the GDD of each of these stages, based on daily temperature statistics and according to the relevant equation, the degree of growth days from planting to the desired stage was calculated. The result of this study showed that the Cowpea cultivar tested in Ahvaz city climatic conditions was on average for the stage of emergence to initial growth (129.5), the stage of rapid vegetative growth until the appearance of the first flower (297.5), flowering and formation Pods (262.5), pod filling (246.25), final ripening (354.75) and generally from planting time to final ripening (1150.5-1430.5) require Growth Degree Day.
