this research was carried out to determine the chilling and heat requirements of grapevine cultivars(rotabi, siah shiraz and yaguti) and carbohydrate and hormones changes in chilled cuttings. uniform cuttings of above mentioned cultivars were harvested when leaves were abscised in autumn, and then transferred to refrigerator (2˚c). cuttingswere subjected to 0 (unchilled control), 100, 200, 300,...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

iran is located in arid and semiarid areas based on continental divisions; any change in precipitation would have potential effects on agriculture, economic and other related issues in general. therefore, it is of high importance to know and identify the moisture-related sources needed to study the country’s precipitation data. for this purpose, it is important to correlate monthly precipitatio...

iran is a country in the middle part of the alp-himalayan orogeny system that have huge earthquakes. the risk of the earthquakes is the cause of the researches about the precursors. because earthquakes occur suddenly, often with devastating consequences, earthquake prediction is a matter of great interest among the public and emergency service officials. a few observations suggest that some ear...

sizing of paperboard has a distinctive position in packaging grade paperboard material. optimization of sizing by alum-rosin at neutral ph in 4 layered paperboard (330 g/m2) wereevaluated in this study to find the optimum ratio of alum- rosin loading in the process. fixed amount of 1% cationic dispersed rosin together with alum as a fixing agent at 5 different levels of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4% (ba...

deficiency of water resources is one of the major challenges at the global scale and also in iran. the existence water resources of oceans and seas such as the caspian sea and persian gulf in the north and southern parts of iran respectively, can be considered as the alternative to dominate the future problem. this study is processed absorption of nacl based-on natural zeolite and perlite. in o...

sugar beet is one of the most important crops in khorasan razavi, iran, which plays an important role in the economy of this province. so, it seems to be important to study the efficiency of the crop. to analyze the sugar beet efficiency information, two methods including data envelopment analysis (dea) and stochastic frontier analysis (sfa) methods were used. required data were collected from ...

global warming and climate change have drawn special attention to soil and its potential for stable carbon sequestration. soils are the largest stores of carbon in terrestrial carbon cycle and contain about three times more carbon than vegetation cover and two times more than that of atmosphere. studying the effects of grazing on soil carbon storage is important because of the major role soil o...
