The evaluation of Elymus hispidus var. hispidus ecotypes in different ecological zones of Kurdistan province was carried out at Baharestan Agricultural Research Station in order to nomination of the best ecotypes in terms of adaptability and establishment. The experiment started in 2010 and continued to 2015. For each Ecotype adequate seed of different stocks in whole of the province was reaped. In reproduction phase (2010 autumn) and after soil preparation, all ecotypes were planted on plots with 5*6 m2. In 2011 and 2012autumn, the Ecotype of each Species based on complete randomized block design with 3 replications and 2 meter intervals on 2*4 m2 plots and 4 lines with 4-meter length and 50 cm intervals (In order to elimination of marginal effects) planted. The measured traits for plant selection were 1) growing 2) flowering 3) seeding 4) Yield 5) canopy cover 6) height and 7) regrowing, all data were statistically compound analyzed by SPSS and averages were compared using Duncan method. Results showed that there were significant differences among the measured traits and ecotypes (P≤0.05) in all studied years (2012-2015). In terms of measured parameters for all ecotypes of Elymus hispidus var. hispidus, Dolab Ecotype, showed superiority in the Baharestan research station conditions. it seems that altitude, soil properties and aspect factors have had most efficacy on different ecotypes operation of this specie in this study.

To study the effect of different harvesting intensity on forage production of Bromus tomentellus was considered of Majid Abad Qorveh. Treatments included four harvested intensity 25, 50 and 75 percent and control (no harvest).Data were analyzed based on splitplot over time during four years(1386-1389) using SAS and IRRISTAT software. The results showed that the main effect of year, different harvesting intensity and interactions effect of different harvesting intensity and years are significant on forage production and vitality of Bromus tomentellus. Comparing the harvesting intensity of 50 and 25 percent indicated no significant difference between them. The highest intensity of production is harvest intensity of 25 percent with 390 mm perecipition in 1389 and the lowest harvest intensity is 50 and 75 percent with170 mm perecipition in 1387. Regarding to AMMI Analysis, the first interaction principal component(IPC1) had a significant effect and express a 93/6 percent of the interaction of the sum of squares. The first main component biplot interaction showed that the 25 percent treatments had a highest average production and stability is relatively good, control treatment had a lowest stability and 75 percent treatment had a highest stability. According to the results, to preserve the production and vitality of Bromus tomentellus the harvesting intensity of 25 percent is recommended.
