This study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of Faba bean. To this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in Behbahan region at South eastern part of Khuzestan Province of Iran. The experimental treatments included Ni...

X-ray CT is a powerful technology to study root growth in soil in-situ. Root systems can be studied in its true 3D geometry over time. Hence, the same plant can be scanned multiple times during development. A downside is the potential of X-rays to interfere with biological processes and therefore plant growth. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of cumulative X-ray dose on Vicia ...

in order to evaluate the yield and nitrogen use efficiency of corn and cotton intercropping under different levels of nitrogen, an experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were nitrogen fertilizers in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and planting pattern in three levels (maize sol...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and plant density on yield, yield components and morphological characters of pinto bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) c.o.s16 cultivar, a field experiment was conducted in split plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of yasouj university during 2010. experimental treatments were pinto be...

Context Our research contributes to the knowledge of using soil algae combat degradation. Aims We tested green (Klebsormidium flaccidum) and a field community in 3-month greenhouse experiment studied their performance on two substrates: (1) sand from Ordos Desert; (2) artificial desert (washed sand). Methods A rapid fluorescence microscopy-Image J method was developed estimate abundance algae. ...
