the effect of a commercial probiotic (protexin) on growth performance and survival rate in sobaity sparidentex hasta was investigated. 240 fish with average weight of 2.99±0.87g were treated for 10 weeks. this study was carried out in a completely random design with 12 experimental groups, in 4 treatments each with 3 replicates. experimental groups were consisted of four levels of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0...

In order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in Isfahan. The experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Isfahan (51° 48' E, 32° 40' N).Main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class A and cultiv...

MODEM is a comprehensive database of maize multidimensional omics data, including genomic, transcriptomic, metabolic and phenotypic information from the cellular to individual plant level. This initial release contains approximately 1.06 M high quality SNPs for 508 diverse inbred lines obtained by combining variations from RNA sequencing on whole kernels (15 days after pollination) of 368 lines...

The seaweed biofilter Ulva reticulata was grown at two stocking densities (1 and 3 kg m-2) in a low cost integrated system in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The seaweed was stocked in 2 m2 cages made of 1 inch netting material placed at the outflow of fish ponds. Control seaweed was grown at the fish pond inflow channel. At a stocking density of 3 kg m-2, the weight of the seaweed increased by 700 g (fw) ...

Hele rodera goeuingiana damages leguminous crops in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. Il is managed by nematicides and crop rotation. The tolerance level for most hosts is less than one egg/g soil, but is higher for vetch (2 eggs/g soil). Conventional economic thresholds varied with crop value and nematicide cost. For DD nematicide at current priees, threshold levels were 8 and 2.5 eggs/g soi...

growth analysis is a valuable method in the study of quantitative of growth, development and crop production. in order to study the physiological growth indices of lentil plant under dry- farming conditions, an experiment was carried out as a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station of lorestan university during 2010. in this experiment two c...

The running down of fossil energy sources makes the production of bioenergy an expected need worldwide. Therefore, energy crops have gained increasing attention in recent years as a source for the production of bioenergy because they do not compete with food crops. Microalgae have numerous advantages such as fast growth rates and not competing with food production. Because of the fast growth, m...

The mechanism associated with improvement of soil nutritional status by oilseed rape crop, leading to better performance of rice crop, in rice-oilseed rape cropping systems is little known. The present study was aimed to test the hypothesis that earthworm casts produced during oilseed rape-growing season have positive effects on grain yield and fertilizer nitrogen (N) utilization in the subsequ...
