Tomato  (L.ycopersicon esculentum  Mill.) cv. Rio Grande  seedlings were nutritionally conditioned with solutions complete fertilizer N(60% NO3+40% NH4)-P-K (20-20-20) , N(30%NO3+70% NH4)-P-K (15-5-30) , the first two week   N(60% NO3+40% NH4)-P-K (20-20-20) and later two week  N(30%NO3+70% NH4)-P-K...

Demand for low-cost and affordable alternating sources of plant nutrient responses to boost the level damaged arable farmlands has been a main concern soil scientists, agronomists, local farmers. The objective this study is investigate effect fish wastewater on growth parameters, yield, biomass productivity lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) as compared by using in aerated solution under deep water cu...

In an operational trial, increasing the amount of nitrogen (N) applied to container longleaf pine seedlings by incorporating controlled release fertilizer (CRF) into the media improved seedling growth and quality. Compared with control seedlings that received 40 mg N, seedlings receiving 66 mg N through CRF supplemented with liquid fertilizer had needles that were 4 in (10 cm) longer as well as...

abstract in order to investigate the effects of nutrient resources and weed management on qualitative and quantitative criteria of cat tyme (teucrium polium), an experiment was conducted as split plot based on a complete randomized block design with 3 replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during the years 2008 and 2009. treatments included diff...

Amongst a large number of Populus species, micropropagation of P. deltoides has not been possible. The authors now report a reproducible protocol for mass production of cloned plants of 2 important clones of P. deltoides, viz., G3 and G48 through induced shoot bud differentiation in the in vitro cultured segments of leaf, stem and root of adult tree origin. Establishment of experimental plants ...

In order to study the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot yield and essential oil content of lavender, this experiment was conducted in the Research Institute of Forest and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran, in 2013-14. The treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha) and cow manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 ton/ha). The experimental design was a factorial experiment based on randomized ...

Cesium (Cs) is chemically similar to potassium (K). However, although K is an essential element, Cs is toxic to plants. Two contrasting hypotheses to explain Cs toxicity have been proposed: (1) extracellular Cs+ prevents K+ uptake and, thereby, induces K starvation; and (2) intracellular Cs+ interacts with vital K(+)-binding sites in proteins, either competitively or noncompetitively, impairing...

in order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizer on soybean (glycine max l.) seed vigor that produced under water deficit condition and related traits, an experiment was conducted in a factorial layout based of complete randomized block design with four replications at the research greenhouse of aboureihan campus- tehran university, iran. experimental treatments were include biofertilizer (see...
