Abstract:

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of salicylic acid on growth, yield and macro-elements absorption of fennel in split-plot as base on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in Tehran, Iran. Irrigation regime as main plot was undergone in 5 levels that included: I1: full irrigation, I2: cut off irrigation at stem elongation stage, I3: cut off at budding stage, I4: cut off irrigation at 50% flowering stage and I5: cut off irrigation at grain filling stage. Foliar application of SA (0, 3, 6, and 8 mM) as sub plot was applied at stem elongation, budding and 50% flowering stages. Result indicated application of SA was resulted to increase biological yield in all irrigation regimes. However, application of 6 mM SA had the most biomass under water stress at grain filling stage. Interaction of water stress and SA demonstrated that application of 3 mM SA had the most grain yield under full irrigation, water stress at stemming and water stress at grain filling stages, while application of 9 mM SA had the highest grain yield under water stress at budding and 50% flowering stages.

Effect of Drought Stress and its Interaction with Salicylic Acid on Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) Germination and Early Seedling Growth

Environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. For cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

Phytotoxicity and stimulatory impacts of nanosized and bulk titanium dioxide on fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill).

The objective of the this study was to compare concentrations of nanosized TiO2 at 0, 5, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg L(-1) with bulk TiO2 for phytotoxic and stimulatory effects on fennel seed germination and early growth stage. After 14 d of seed incubation, germination percentage highly improved following exposure to 60 ppm nanosized TiO2. Similar positive effects occurred in terms of shoot dry weigh...
