BACKGROUND: Vermicompost in sustainable agriculture is very useful for improving soil porosity and thereby providing more nutrients to crop. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to evaluate effect of biofertilizer (vermicompost) under different level of irrigation on crop production and protein yield. METHODS: This study was c...

in this study, the concentrations of 25, 375 and 500 ml l -1 of cola+ 2000 mg l -1 of peppermint essence and concentrations of 30, 45 and 60 ml l -1 of apple extract +2000 mg l -1 rosemary essence on alstroemeria cut flowers (cv. balance) were investigated to verify the use of natural ingredients in flowers preservative solutions. this experiment was conducted in the laboratory of gorgan univer...

BACKGROUND: Management of nutrients, especially nitrogen, in order to have economic production, maintain sustainable agriculture and provide food security, is considered to have an important priority. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to evaluate effect of different level of nitrogen fertilizer and vermicompost on quantitative and qualitative traits of w...

aimed at reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers on crop production and according to important role of micro-nutrients such as iron, on increase performance of these products, nanocomposites effect of iron on yield and yield components of wax bean genotypes inoculated with rhizobium bacteria during experimental factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was cond...

We study the ne structure of the classiication of sets of natural numbers A according to the number of queries which are needed to compute the n-fold characteristic function of A. A complete characterization is obtained, relating the question to nite combinatorics. In order to obtain an explicit description we consider several interesting combinatorial problems.

fertilization involves direct interaction of the sperm and oocyte, fusion of the cell membranes and :union: of male and female gamete genomes. the completion of this process and subsequent embryo development depend in part on the inherent integrity of the sperm dna. sperm genome quality has been emphasized for several years as playing a major role in early embryogenesis. there is clinical evide...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different dietary protein (30, 35, 40%) and lipid levels (10, 12, 14%) on growth performance and physiological changes of juveniles caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum). six hundred and seventy five fish (1.15 ± 0.01 g) were distributed into 27 aquaria (45 l) and were fed four times daily for 8 weeks. interaction between protein and lipid di...

in order to investigate the effects of peppermint (mentha piperita l.) alcoholic extract on liver injury caused by the oxidant carbon tetrachloride (ccl4), an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement (2 × 2) with 4 replications of 10 broilers each. factors included two levels of peppermint leaf alcoholic extract (0 and 2 ml/kg body weight) and ccl4 (...

background: cadmium (cd) is not considered as essential element for living organisms, therefore its presence in tissues is considered as toxic element. from food hazards control point of view, information on the distribution of these toxic elements in the animal tissues is very important. the present study was designed to evaluate cd distribution pattern in kidney and liver of broiler chicken. ...
