Powdery mildew infection in cucumber plants was significantly reduced by foliar application of 2,6dichloroisonicotinic acid (INA). Although the overall isozyme banding patterns of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) were very similar, there were differences in the densities of major bands between the leaves of control and INA-applied plants. When plants were subjected to foliar appl...

Nutrient uptake of chard under well-watered and drought conditions with different NO applications were investigated in this research. solutions prepared four doses (0, 50, 100, 150 200 µM) sodium nitroprusside as a nitric oxide source exogenously applied on only seeds (s) or together seed foliar (sf) levels according to 100% (control), 67% 33% the water required reach field capacity. drasticall...

to evaluate interaction of salinity stress and nitrogen use methods on yield and yield components, in experiment was conducted in split plot in randomized complete block with 3 replications. treatments included: salinity of irrigation water levels 1.5, 4.4 and 7.9 ds/m as main plots, and nitrogen treatments 1. using n fertilizer at 3 stage in soil, 2. using two third n fertilizer in soil at pla...

background and objectives: drought stress is one of the most important environmental factors reducing growth and yield of crops, especially in arid and semiarid regions of the world. during drought stress, nutrient uptake diminishes due to rising of solute concentrations and so increasing of osmotic potential in the root zone. with increasing soil ph, micronutrient uptake decreases more than ot...

Foliar fertilization with nitrogen (N) is used to supplement soil N application in order to meet the high N requirements of crops (Oosterhuis and Weir, 2010). Urea is the most common foliar N source in cotton, due to its relatively low toxicity, quick absorption, and low cost (Maples and Baker, 1993; McConnell et al., 1998; Oosterhuis and Bondada, 2001). However, in the literature reports of yi...

In order to investigate the effect of rhizobium bacteria, mycorrhiza fungi and foliar application of urea on qualitative and quantitative traits of soybean an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment included six treatments as: Control (C), Rhizobium bacteria (R), Rhizobium bacteria + Mycorrhiza fungi (R+M), Rhizobium bacteria + F...

Kiwifruit requires a high quantity of nutrients that must be supplied through fertilization to obtain an optimum yield on a sustainable basis. This research was conducted to evaluate different fertilization methods including broadcast application (as control), deep placement of the fertilizer and fertigation, alone or in combination with foliar application and their effects on the yield, leaf m...
