With the aim of the improvement water retention in dry land condition by green manure application, this study was carried out with or without rye green manure along with 4 nitrogen fertilization rate in green manure-wheat rotation system between 2001 – 2007 years. Results showed that the green manure application effects were significant on the soil aggregate stability, soil bulk density and ava...

application of sewage sludge as a cheap and waste material is increasing for supporting plant essential elements especially in the soils of arid and semiarid regions. in the present greenhouse research, the effect of ardabil municipal sewage sludge on n, p, k, pb, cr, ni and cd concentrations in soil and plant and also spring wheat yield and growth indices was studied as a randomized complete b...

Metam sodium is the most widely used soil fumigant in the United States. The primary breakdown product of metam sodium in soil is methyl isothiocyanate (MITC), an active pesticidal agent with a high toxicity and a great potential for volatilization. Reducing atmospheric emissions of MITC is therefore critical to maintain air quality. The objective of this study was to examine the rate and effic...

organic compounds including seaweed extract were applied in organic production system and sustainable agriculture. one of these compounds is humic acid that was used widely in research and commercial programs. humic acid is an organic acid obtained from humus and other natural resources with hormonal effects and improving nutrient absorption, increasing root and shoot biomass. in order to inves...

abstract a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of soil copper (cu) and salinity application on photosynthesis parameters, enzyme activity and anatomical structure of two pistachio cultivars. a factorial greenhouse experiment was carried out as completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four cu levels (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 mg kg-1soil as cuso...
