due to contiguous city of ravar with lut and dasht-e kavir desert, and weather conditions, water is one of the rarest agricultural inputs in this city. pistachio allocates 90% of garden and 73% of agricultural lands of the city and it is the most important agricultural product in this region. a major source of agricultural water supply in this area is groundwater. low price of water on one side...

wheat is the most important crop of iran and black or stem rust disease is one of the most severe diseases threatning the wheat production. in order to identify new resistant sources against the new race of stem rust virulent on plant with sr 31gene, the selected iranian landraces accessions of national plant gene bank of iran wheat collection were evaluated. the most virulent isolate of puccin...

in order to investigate the effect of crop rotation on relation of seed bank with nightshade (solanum nigrum l.) weed seedling population during the growth season of corn, a field experiment was carried out in dasht-naz crop company in sari, during 2012. at the first, farm was divided into 2×2 m networks and the cross points was signed and all sampling were taken from those points. sampling of ...

in recent years most activities of rice research institute, has been focused on introduction of high yielding as well as high quality rice cultivars. in 1994, 185 lines introduced from international rice research institute (irri) to rice research institute of iran (rrii), were evaluated in observational and statistical experiments in rrii for two years, and eight lines were selected. these line...

the cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) lines that are used in production of hybrid seeds in three-line system often get contaminated with their maintainer lines. using such impure cms lines in rice hybrid seed production lead to un-uniformity and yield loss in hybrid rice. laborious and time consuming phenotypic evaluations are used for elimination of off-type plants in cms multiplication farms. th...

to evaluate the effects of sowing date, cultivars and herbicides on weed species control and soybean yield, a strip split plot layout in as a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in dasht-e-naz company sari-iran, in 2008. treatments included two planting dates (planting june 7th and 27th), soybean cultivars (bp, jk, 032, 033 and sahar) and herbicide application...

effluent from ro (reverse osmosis) systems during recovery gradually becomes concentrated and supersaturated with soluble salts such as calcium carbonate (caco3), calcium sulfate (caso4), barium sulfate (baso4) and silica (sio2). thus we were looking for procedures to prevent precipitation of soluble salts on the membrane surface and decrease membrane permeability. therefore, recovery could be ...
