The main factor affecting fruit quality and post-harvest loss in kiwifruits is improper tree nutrition. In this study, fruits were harvested from 24 different orchards in the east of Guilan province when the total soluble solid content of the fruit was 6.2°. percent the fruts was. Fruits’ mineral content such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, the mineral elements ratios...

in this study, the effects of oleothermal modification on physical and mechanical peroperties of fir wood (abeis sp.) blocks were examined. at first, some blocks of fir wood with 5 × 20 × 120 cm dimensions were prepared. the blocks were treated in soybean oil. the effects of 3 factors such as treatments temperature (180and 200 °c), holding time (12 and 15 h) and initial moisture content of wood...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of nitrogen and irrigation on yield and yield components of safflower. Three nitrogen rates (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1) under three irrigation levels (100% as control 80% as mild limited irrigation, and 60% of crop water requirement as severe limited irrigation) were investigated using a factorial laid out in a randomized comp...

One of the negative effects of water stress on growth and crop production is micronutrient uptake reduction by plant root. Therefore, to evaluate the effect of foliar application of Fe and Zn on some physiological and morphological characteristics of red bean (Akhtar cultivar) under drought stress this experiment was designed as a split plot in a completely randomized block design with three re...

Drought has adverse effects on plant growth and production. Plants respond to drought stress through biochemical and physiological processes. In the present study, physiological responses of two cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) ecotypes including Ravar and Gonbad, which belong to dry and sub-humid regions of Iran, respectively, were evaluated in a split-plot factorial experiment with three replicatio...
