in order to study the effect of irrigation intervals and intecropped marjoram (origanum vulgare) (as a shading crop for reducing the possible effects of soil warming due to climate change) on the growth and yield of saffron (crocus sativus), a field experiment was conducted as split-plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2008 and 2009 at the agricultural ...

in order to investigate the effects of vermicompost and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics, yield and yield components of marshmallow (altheaeofficinalis l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season of 2012. experimen...

a split plots experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out at field research center of islamic azad university, shoushtar branch during 2012 to find out the suitable sowing date and urea fertilizer used in chamomile (matricaria recutita). main plots including three sowing date (9, 19 and 29 february 2012) and subplots including four levels of urea fertilizers (5, 10, 15...

The influence of flower extract of Jasminum grandiflorum was studied for its wound healing activity at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight, using excision and dead space wound models in rats. The animals were divided into three groups in excision wound model, the controls (n=10) were treated with 0.25% CM cellulose, reference standard (n=10) were treated with sulfathiazole ointment and the experime...

Objective: The inoculation of substrates with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is one of the most important effective strategies applied and one of the aims of sustainable agriculture. Methods: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of AMF inoculation (0, 2.5, and 5 W/W) on morpho-physiological traits such as flower and root dry weight, water-use efficiency and antioxidant capa...

China aster [Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees] is a flowering annual mainly cultivated for loose flower and cut flower, bedding pot culture. To assess the genetic diversity, 42 genotypes were evaluated fourteen quantitative traits. The found to be highly variable traits such as plant height, spread, stalk length, 100 weight, number of flowers per plant, weight yield hectare. However, low variab...

In Gentiana lutea two varieties are described: G. lutea var. aurantiaca with orange corolla colors and G. lutea var. lutea with yellow corolla colors. Both color varieties co-occur in NW Spain, and pollinators select flower color in this species. It is not known whether a hybridization barrier exists between these G. lutea color varieties. We aim to test the compatibility between flower color v...
