Abstract

In the present study Dragon's head (Lallemantia iberica F. & C. M.) landraces that collected from different parts of Iran, were evaluated in nine dryland agricultural research stations in mainly fall planting during 2010 to 2019. At the beging, three Dragon’s head landraces belong to Zanjan, Kurdestan and West Azarbaijane proviences evaluated in Maraghe (cold region) agricultural research station in 2010 and Sararood (semi-cold region) agricultural research station in 2010 and 2012 under rainfed condition, then superior genotypes selected. Twelve landraces were evaluated for adaptation in eight cold, semi-cold and warm agricultural research stations including: Sararood (Kermanshah), Maragheh (East Azarbaijan), Ghamloo (Kurdestan), Gachsaran (Kohgiluieh and Boierahmad), Shirvan (North Khorasan), Shirvan Chardavol (Ilam), Sarabchangaee (Lorestan) and Khodabandeh (Zanjan) under rainfed condition durind three years, 2014-2017. Results showed that, Kurdestan genotype had the highest seed yield, the best rank and the lowest rank standard deviation among all landraces. Onfarm trials conducted in Kermanshah, Lorestan and Zanjan farmer’s fields revealed that in total, Sara veraiety (Kurdestan genotype) had the highest performance and yield stability in most of locations. Overall, Sara variety with average of 42% oil content, high seed and oil yield (929 and 392 kgha-1 respectively) and high oil quality (the highest omega3 among oilseed crops) was suitable crop for fall planting in cold, semi-cold and warm drylands of Iran. Results from Gonbad agricultural research station showed that all genotypes at the beginning of generative growth stage infected to Fusarium culmorum, Rhizoctonia solani and Alternaria solani diseases and had the low performance therefore, growing Dragon’s head under high rain and moderate climates such as Gonbad is not recommended. Results of complementary studies showed that Sara variety had 42% oil content and 62.87% linolenic acid, also 400 plants m-2 was the best plant density.
