sunflower (helinathus annuus) is a susceptible host to the holoparasite hemp broomrape (orobanche ramosa) in central parts of iran, causing yield loss due to severe infestations. a field study was conducted in 2006 to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate for controlling the parasitic weed hemp broomrape in sunflower. glyphosate was applied once or twice at five rates ranging from 0.075 to 0.450 ...

: In order to study the effect of different nitrogen levels on yield components and seed yield of three barley cultivars, an experiment was conducted in 2011-2012 in a research farm of farming building of Islamic Azad University Khorasgan (Isfahan) Branch located in Khatunabad village (latitude 32o /40' N and Longitude 51o /48' E). A split plot layout within randomized com...

plant growth regulators (pgrs) are widely used for lodging control in winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown at high n rates. although the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat cultivars had largely solved the problem of lodging, evidence was already accumu-lating that the timely application of a growth retardant such as chlormequat (ccc) or ethephon could increase the grain yield of wheat, by th...

progressive usage of medicinal plants has necessitated their mass production using the minimum amounts of chemical inputs. to find out the effects of urea and pelleted animal manure and some micronutrients on yield and its components in pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the research farm of abouraihan campus, university of tehran in 2011. the ...

the saffron understanding the factors that increased the quality and quantity of product in order to achieve optimum performance it is important, in this regard, the use of fertilizers and different densities corm are the most important factor. in this regard, an experiment in 1394 to factorial design in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the village davoodabad locate...

We examined the effects of a forest fertilizer (urea) on newly metamorphosed terrestrial amphibians (Western toads, Bufo boreas; Cascades frogs, Rana cascadae; long-toed salamanders, Ambystoma macrodactylum; and roughskin newts, Taricha granulosa). We examined avoidance behavior of Western toads and Cascades frogs on both paper towel and soil substrates dosed with urea (control and 100 kg N/ha ...
