to evaluate the effect of gamma rays on the seeds and amounts of nitrogen on growth and yield of chamomile (chamomilla recutita synonym matricaria chamomilla), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of agriculture college of shahid-beheshti.-urmia in 2010. treatments were gamma rays from cobalt-60 on chamomile ...

The effects of chemical and organic fertilizers on saffron (Crocus sativus) were studied in a field experiment using a complete randomized block design with three replications at ferdowsi university of Mashhad. Fertilizers applied were N, P, K, NP, NK, PK, NPK, cow, sheep and chicken manure. The amount of chemical fertilizer applied were 50, 30, 30, 48, 48, 36, 66 kg/ha for N, P, K, NP, NK, PK,...

BACKGROUND Over 60% of currently used anti-cancer agents are derived in one-way or another from natural sources, including plants, marine organisms and microorganisms. Calotropis gigantea (Linn.) (Family: Asclepiadaceae) is a perennial shrub and it is used as a traditional folk medicine for the treatment of various health complications. But there is no report on isolation of anticancerous chemi...

important cut flowers in tropical and sub tropical areas of the world and has the seventh rate of production between all cut flowers of Iran. In order to investigate different effects of storage temperatures (8 weeks at 4 °C, 4 weeks at 4 °C + 4 weeks at 20 °C, 8 weeks at 12 °C, 4 weeks at 12 °C+ 4 weeks at 20 °C and 8 week at 20 °C) and different concentrations of gibberellic acid (0, 150 and ...

Twelve growth and flowering traits to study their genetic variability, correlation path coefficients from twenty-five genotypes of French marigold (Tagetes patula L.) were evaluated in the growing season 2016/17. The analysis variance for all showed significant differences among plants traits. range mean performance was observed plant height (34.33-94.33 cm), spread (31.33-73.43 number flowers ...

This study shows that enhancement of soil fertility along with the yield of chickpea due to nodulation by the Rhizobium is possible to some extent. Data on plant height (cm) at maturity, primary branches/plant, days to flower, pods/plant, pod dry weight/plant (g), seeds/pod, seed dry weight/pod (g), 50 seeds weight (g), nodules/plant, fresh weight of nodules/plant and dry weight of nodules/plan...

the present study was conducted to investigate the yield and some morphological characteristics of echinacea purpurea. the experiment was conducted in research farm of the ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khuzestan during 2013- 2014. the experiment was performed as a split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. the foliar a...

In this study, the characteristics of tetraploid and diploid watermelon’s flowers, fruits, seeds were examined, their differences investigated. As plant material, ST101 ST82; WL92, WL124, WL134, WL216, WL259-B WL235 used. Flower (pollen viability, pollen germination, number anthers per anther flower); fruit (weight, length, diameter, rind thickness TSS) seed (weight 1000 seed, width, thickness,...

The main objective of this work was to determine the optimum level pruning in pitaya. In addition, we want establish relationship between levels and intensity flowering, flowering heavy flower bud drop that affects species. With these aims, two experiments were performed on Hylocereus undatus [(Haw.) Britton Rose] cultivated greenhouses trained a trellis system. Our results conclude cane leavin...
