Abstract

Background & Objective
The aim of this research is to investigate the yield and yield components as well as the percentage and protein yield of different ecotypes of dragon’s head in East Azerbaijan region.
Methods & Materials
In order to evaluate the characteristics related to the yield of 49 ecotypes of dragon’s head collected from different regions of the country, a research in the form of a randomized complete block design with 3 replications during the years 2014 and 2015 in the research farm of the Faculty of Agriculture University of Tabriz was implemented.
Results
The obtained results showed that the ecotypes showed significant differences with each other in most of the studied traits. Ecotype alvar village, Bostanabad was highly superior in terms of many traits, especially in terms of grain yield. Ecotype Kurdistan 2 had the highest protein percentage, while the highest protein yield was obtained from Ecotype Zanjan. In the regression analysis of protein yield, the highest regression coefficient (0.873) was observed in protein yield per unit area and grain yield per unit area, respectively.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this research, ecotypes Alwar village of Bostanabad, Tabriz 4 and kolvanagh 14 were recognized as the most suitable and compatible ecotypes for Tabriz city in terms of grain yield traits.
