ABSTRACT- To compare the effects of six types of non-living mulches (wheat straw, sawdust, coco peat, peat moss, transparent and black plastic) with metribuzin on yield and yield components of tomato cv "CH" and the weed control efficiency, a study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at School of Agriculture, Shiraz University in 2012. Plots without mulch...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impacts of diets supplemented with different lipid sources on growth performance, body composition, fatty acid profile, and hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity of juvenile black sea bream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli (initial mean weight, 1.1±0.02g). Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with either fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO),...

Black pepper ( Piper nigrum ) from Piperaceae and its main ingredient (piperine) reduces gastric emptying in rats. In Iranian traditional medicine, black pepper is used to relief the menorrhalgia in women. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of black pepper fruit aqueous extract on non-pregnant rat uterus contractions and the mechanism(s) of its action. To prepare the extract, b...

The health benefits of green and black tea are mainly associated with their antioxidant potential and phenolic compounds. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dried rose petals (Rosa damascena) on the antioxidant capacity of green and black tea. Antioxidant capacities of tea and rose infusions were assessed using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2-azinobis-3-<...

in this work poly eriochrome black t (ebt) was electrochemically synthesized on the glassy carbon electrode as electrode modifier. on the modified electrode, voltammetric behavior of isoniazid (inh) was investigated. the poly (ebt)-modified glassy carbon electrode has excellent electrocatalytic ability for the electrooxidation of isoniazid. this fact was appeared as a reduced overpotential of i...

this study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of black cumin (nigella sativa l.) at the experimental station of the research institute of forest and rangeland, damavan region, iran. a split-plot experimental design, based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, was used. i...

in this paper, we try and valuate preemption rights by modifying the black-scholes model, which is widely used to valuate options and other derivatives. here we first present the basics of the black-scholes model and then we discus modification of the model to be fit for preemption right valuation. at the end, we valuate four of the preemptive rights using the proposed model

abstract in order to study the effect of density and time of nitrogen application on morphological, phenological characteristics, yield and yield components of black cumin (nigella sativa l) a field experiment was conducted at chenaran in khorasan razavi province in 2005 growing season. three nitrogen fertilizer (urea) application times (1- control 2- at 4-6 leaves stage 3-preblooming 4-complet...
