Elemental composition of groundnut leaves as affected by age and iron chlorosis

Yield and chemical composition of 'Piarom' date palm as affected by levels and methods of iron fertilization

This research was conducted in order to study the effects of iron fertilization on yield and chemical composition of date palm var. 'Piarom', on 54 trees in Haji-Abad research station of Hormozgan Province. Trees were 12 years old and research treatments were consisted of: 1-Control treatment 2- Soil surface application of Fe in two levels 3-Application of Fe as localized placement method (Chal...

Growth and chemical composition of three pistachio cultivars as affected by soil salinity and boron fertilization

Carbon metabolism in spinach leaves as affected by leaf age and phosphorus and sulfur nutrition.

Spinach (Spinacea oleracea) plants were grown either continuously on complete nutrient solutions or for 2 weeks on media deficient in phosphate or sulfate. To characterize leaf carbohydrate metabolism, levels of phosphorylated intermediates, activities of enzymes involved in photosynthetic carbon metabolism, contents of soluble and acid hydrolyzable sugars were measured in leaves differing in a...

EXCESS PHOSPHORUS and IRON CHLOROSIS

early in the season were less legetative than thobe taken in August and September. The light intensity and light duration to completely keep the standard cultivars vegetatile is 10 to 20 foot-candles for one hour in the middle of the night. A recent experiment on ‘Paul Mikkelsen’ grown at 70’ F revealed that lighting for four hours (10 p.m. to 2 a.m.) with a minimum of 10 foot-candles is necess...

Chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of meat from capons as affected by breed and age

The influence of the breed [Mos (Spanish indigenous breed), Sasso T-44 and X-44 (commercial strains)] and the age (5, 6, 7 and 8 months) of capons (castrated male cockerels) on some qualitative traits of breast and drumstick meat were studied. The chemical composition (dry matter, protein, lipid and ash contents), pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, colour and texture (compress...
