Nitrogen (N) deposition is a key global change factor that is increasing and affecting the structure and function of many ecosystems. To determine the influence of N deposition on specific systems, however, it is crucial to understand the temporal and spatial patterns of deposition as well as the response to that deposition. Response of the receiving plant communities may depend on the life sta...

in order to determine the effect of irrigation interval and mulch on growth of olive an experiment was carried out in dallaho olive research station at sarepole. a split plot experiment was used based on a completely randomized design with three replications and two factors (mulch and irrigation interval). each experiment unit consists of 4 trees. land preparation was done in february 2005 in a...

Excessive salt accumulation in soil is a major ecological and agronomical problem, especially in arid and semiarid areas. Excessive soil salinity affects the establishment, development and growth of plants, resulting in major losses of production. A pot experiment was set up to examine the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus etunicatum and Glomus versiforme) and salinity on the gro...

in order to evaluate the application of methanol on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max l., var. l 17) in field conditions, experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research from faculty of agricultural of islamic azad university karaj, iran, during 2008. sprayed aqueous solutions were zero (control), 7, 14, 21, 2...

abstract paclobutrazol is one of the most important triazolic compounds which are used as growth retardants in some crops. in this study, the effect of application methods and concentration of paclobutrazol on plant height of tuberose and possibility of pot production was investigated. in the first experiment, tuberose bulbs were soaked in 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg.l-1 paclobutrazol for 10, 20 a...

mulches often use for weed control, hold soil moisture, decrease soil temperature, soil fertility, soil conservation, soil against rain and soil quality in organic farming. a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different wheat residue and sunflower densities on sunflower growth and yield during 2007 growing season at the research field of birjand university. the experimenta...
