to evaluate symbiotic effectiveness and salt tolerance of sinorhizobium meliloti strains, 50 rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of medicago sativa cultivated in tehran and zanjan fields. under n-free conditions, the symbiotic effectiveness of different sinorhizobium meliloti strains of bami cultivar were evaluated under greenhouse conditions using 50 sinorhizobium meliloti strain...

in this study the effect of nitrogen form and different oxygen levels on growth and development and macronutrients concentrations in lettuce plants was investigated. this investigation showed that sole ammonium application caused fresh and dry weight reduction of shoot and root in lettuce plant. but different oxygen levels had no effect on them. nitrogen concentration of shoot was higher in amm...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) and different irrigation amount on growth of aerial parts, leaf minerals and root performance in young olive plants cv. ‘manzanillo’ in the department of horticulture, faculty of agriculture, tarbiat modarres university in 2000. a split plot experiment in time was used based on a completely randomized block design with f...

Effects of water stress and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycoperseci (Fol) on the growth of tomatoes were studied in a greenhouse experiment. Treatments consisted of five levels of water stress (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 day irrigation intervals). Infested soil consisting of 400 chlamydospores g1 of Fol and non infested soil were used. Experiments arranged in a completely randomized design with 8 replicati...

spearmint (mentha spicata l.) is one of the most important mint family plants that has numerous applications in food, cosmetical, and pharmaceutical industries due to its valuable medicinal properties. in this research, the change in plant fresh and leaf dry weights, essential oil content, yield and composition during year as randomized complete block design with twelve treatments and three rep...

Shoot N concentration in plants decreases as they get bigger, due to the fact that N accumulates less rapidly than dry matter in plants during the plant growth process, leading to an allometric relationship between shoot N content (N(sh)) and shoot mass (W(sh)): N(sh)=a(W(sh))b. The results obtained on lucerne plants growing either under controlled low density conditions or in dense stands unde...
