the objective of the present study was to assess the combined effects of drought stress and foliar application of zinc and manganese on seed quality of red bean (naz variety) during the accelerated aging test. the experiment was carried out as split factorial in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of shahrekord university during 2010-2011. drou...

water deficit is a major factor influencing yield of canola (brassica napus l.) seed yield and oil content. a field experiment was conducted during 2010 growing season in the agriculture research station of torogh, mashhad, iran to evaluate responses of canola cultivars to limited water. experimental design was rcbd pattern with three replications. treatments were two irrigation regimes (based ...

Restricted water resources are a limiting factor for irrigation applications throughout the world. The effects of irrigation regimes (amount) on cotton lint yield are known, but there is little information on the effect of irrigation regimes on seed quality of cotton. In this study, the effects of deficit irrigation after the onset of flowering on lint yield and seed quality of cotton (Gossypiu...

introduction moisture limitation is considered as one of the important limiting factors in soybean growth. drought stress affects different aspects of soybean growth through making anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes (tarumingkeng & coto, 2003). under dry tension condition, there will be a disturbance in transmitting nutrients, but some useful soil fungi such as mycorrhiza improve...

The relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and their associated bacteriacan be has great importance for sustainable agriculture especially in the case of highlymycorrhizal plants such as linseed. To evaluate the possible effect of AMF in association withphosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on linseed plants, a 2-yr factorial experiment wasconducted based on a randomized comple...

introduction drought stress is one of the most yield reduction factor of lima bean where effects on the more than 60% of bean world production. in this regard, solutions that help increase productivity with high water efficiency in this region can change the agricultural crop production. one of the solutions is using organic materials (acid humic). humic acid with linkage of water molecules and...

sesame is one of the oldest crops in the world that is commonly cultivated in arid and semi-arid due to high oil seeds (42-52 %). this study was conducted to investigate the effects of sulfur and biological fertilizers on physiological parameters of sesame at sari agriculture sciences and natural resources university in 2014 crop year. the experiment was conducted in a split factorial design ba...
