seed reserves are controlled by genetic and environmental condition such as nutrition, temperature, drought stress and light intensity. strong seedling will produce from seeds with high reserves. therefore, in this work that conducted in pot, field(in tabriz university) and lab(in shahrood university of technology) experiments, effect of pre-anthesis nitrogen application and a drought stress du...

milkthistle (silybum marianum l.) is a rangeland medicinal plant growing wild in different locations in iran. in the present research work, the effect of n, p and k in their different proportions of n0p0k0, n100p100k50, n150p150k100 and n200p200k150 kgha-1 as compared with control (no fertilizer application) on the plant's growth was put to test. suc variables as plant height, no. of capit...

The staged addition of feed to fertilized fish ponds was evaluated by adding fertilizers to 15 ponds stocked with Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, then adding feed at half ad libitum rates once fish in the ponds reached a target weight. Each pond was stocked with 750 fish (3 fish/mz), and each treatment included three ponds with first feeding at (a) 50 g, (b) 100 g, (c) 150 g, (d) 200 g, and...

Cereal Chem. 72(2):213-216 Diploid wheat (Triticum monococcum L., einkorn) is of interest both species of wheat and among diploid wheat strains were minimal, especially as a crop and as a source of genes unavailable in the more widely grown after amino acid values were adjusted to a common protein level. One wheat species, T. aestivum L. (common wheat) and T. durum Desf. (durum of the einkorn a...

introduction: two of the main challenges in developing countries are food production and trying to get a high income for good nutrition and reduction of poverty. cereals and legumes are the most important crops in the rainfed areas of the country occupying the majority of dry land areas. irrigated production systems had a main role in food production in the past years; but unfortunately, in rec...

introduction: in recent decades, excessive use of chemical fertilizers causes environmental problems such as water resource pollution and decrease in soil fertility. organic matters are excellent sources of plant-available nutrients and their addition to soil could maintain high microbial populations and activities. in crop studies, prabha et al. (2007) reported that there was excellent plant g...

We describe a new material system based on alloys of gallium and platinum that is well-suited for ultraviolet (UV) plasmonics. Although gallium has previously been shown to be useful for such studies, creating a continuous, pinhole-free thin film has been technically challenging. For example, when vacuum deposition techniques are used, gallium forms as isolated spherical nanoparticles on a wide...
