zinc has previously been reported to alleviate salinity stress in plants. in this study, we monitored various biomass and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters to determine the optimum zinc sulfate concentration that can be used as foliar spray to alleviate salinity stress in glycine soja. the plants subjected to a series of salinity levels (nacl concentration of 0, 100, 200, and 300 mmol l-1), a...

to evaluate the effect of humic acid and phosphorus on the quantity and quality of marigold yield an experiment was conducted at research field of islamic azad university, mashhad branch, mashhad, iran, in cropping season 2010-2011. the experiment was in split plot based on randomized complete block design, with four replications. the main plots were humic acid in four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 k...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of soil application of humic acid and calciumon morpho-physiological traits and na+, mg2+, ca2+ uptake of pistachio seedling (akbari) grown under salt stress.  a completely randomized design was used with four replications in greenhouse conditions. the experimental treatment consisted of four levels of humic acid (bis humic) (0, 4, 8 and 12 gr k...

to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizer and humic acid on quality of new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with 15 treatments and three replications. treatments were slow release fertilizer (12-11-18-2.7mgo-8s) in five levels (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 kg/m3) and humic acid in three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg/m3) that mixed with medium cul...

introduction roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) as a medicinal plant belongs to the malvacea family. their active ingredient increases under water stress. humic acid bacteria derived from humus and other natural resources have hormonal effects and can improve nutrient absorption to enhance performance especially under stress conditions . materials and methods this experiment was conducted in the ...

The removal of Cr(VI) from groundwater by zero-valent iron (Fe0) and microorganisms under different nutrients electron-accepting conditions was investigated using continuously-flowed column reactors with an abiotic Fe0 as the control. Both biotic columns were operated at low relatively high concentrations organic substrates (sodium acetate humic acid) electron acceptors (nitrate sulfate). Sodiu...
