In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilizer and superabsorbent on yield and qualitative traits of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a split-split-plot experiment was coducted in a farm in Khusf of Birjand, Iran in 2009 on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design. The main plot was devoted to irrigation interval at three levels of 6, 12 and 18 days, the sub-plot was devot...

Respiration rates and chemical characteristics of soil organic layers were measured at 40 experimental plots, 5 sampling sites per plot, in a moderately polluted Niepołomice Forest, S. Poland. The respiration rate was positively related to pH, water content and concentrations of Ca and K, and negatively to Ntot, Zn and Pb (p < 0.001 for all variables). No significant correlation was found betwe...

To evaluate the effect of plastic film coverage on ex vitro acclimatization arrow cane (Gynerium sagitatum Aubl.), shoots “Criolla”, Martinera” and “Costera” cultivars were in micropropagated a medium supplied with 6-Benzylaminopurine half them rooted 1-Naphtalene acetic acid. Rooted unrooted transplanted shade house fog irrigation, into trays (72 clusters per tray), using peat as substrate was...

Abstract Biochar and manure can be used for sustainable land management. However, little is known about how soil amendments might affect surface belowground microbial processes subsequent wood decomposition. In a split‐split‐split plot design, we amended with two rates of (whole plot; 0 9 Mg ha −1 ) biochar (split 10 ). Wood stakes three species (hybrid poplar, triploid Populus tomentosa Carr.;...
