a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications was conducted in 2012,treatments were included the time of foliar application with 3 levels (tillering stage, heading stage and no spray (control)) as main factor and cultivars in 4 levels (sardari, rijav, biseton and rashid) as the second factor. plant characteristics such as plant height, length o...

introduction grain legumes are considered as the second source of human nutrition after cereals and play an important role in community food supply, sustainable agriculture and economic profitability. among grain legumes, common bean has the most consumption in the world compared with others. however there are always some constraints in common bean production and drought is most important facto...

An efficient and highly reproducible protocol for micropropagation of bird eye chilli Capsicum frutescens was attempted. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.5-3.0 mgl(-1) of 6-benzyladenine (BA), 2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP), kinetin and 0.5-2.0 mg l(-1) of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) along with 1 gl(-1) activated charcoal (AC) were used for shoot regeneratio...

in order to study of sodium nitroprusside(snp) application effect on growth indices and water use efficiency of kidney beans cultivars(akhtar and derakhshan) under water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based in randomized complete block design with three replications in bu-ali sina university research field at 2012. water stress treatments included vegetative stre...

to evaluate the effects of various levels of phosphorous and foliar application of iron and zinc on grain yield and yield components of chick pea (ciceraireintinum l.), an experiment was conducted on split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010- 2011 growth season at the agricultural college research farm, lorestan university. factors includ...

to evaluate interaction of salinity stress and nitrogen use methods on yield and yield components, in experiment was conducted in split plot in randomized complete block with 3 replications. treatments included: salinity of irrigation water levels 1.5, 4.4 and 7.9 ds/m as main plots, and nitrogen treatments 1. using n fertilizer at 3 stage in soil, 2. using two third n fertilizer in soil at pla...

the experiment in this study was conducted as a completely randomized block design with ten treatments and four replications. treatments included: to- control, t1- 50g of zn per tree as broadcast application, t2-100g zn per tree, broadcast application, t3- 200g zn per tree as broadcast application, t4- 50 g zn per tree as band application, t5- 50g zn per tree, band application, t6-100g zn per t...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity and aba foliar application on growth and physiology of two canola varieties (fornex and okamer). salinity levels (0 and 12 ds/m) and aba foliar application (0, 15 and 30 µmol l-1) were investigated using a factorial split design in 3 replications. results showed variety fornex was salt stress tolerance variety. aba foliar appli...

background and objectives: drought stress is one of the most important environmental factors reducing growth and yield of crops, especially in arid and semiarid regions of the world. during drought stress, nutrient uptake diminishes due to rising of solute concentrations and so increasing of osmotic potential in the root zone. with increasing soil ph, micronutrient uptake decreases more than ot...
