abstract to investigate the effects of paclobutrazol (pbz) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry cv. selva a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications was carried out in greenhouse of agriculture college, isfahan university of technology. pbz was applied in two methods, drench and foliar spray, at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg active ingredient per p...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant aerial development is well known to be affected by day length in terms of the timing and developmental stage of floral transition. Arabidopsis thaliana is a 'long day' plant in which the time to flower is delayed by short days and leaf number is increased. The aim of the work presented here was to determine the effects of different day lengths on individual leaf area e...

abstract recently weed scientist are more interested in weed management by allelopathy . the main objective of the study was to evaluate allelopathic potential of sunflower on redroot pigweed and common lambsquarter. this study was conducted in two series of laboratory and greenhouse experiments. under laboratory conditions, leaf, stem and root aqueous extracts of sunflower at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5...

a pot experiment laid out in factorial arranged in completely randomized design with three replications was implemented to evaluate the effects of seed priming in ameliorating salinity stress in sesame (sesamum indicam l.) during seedling development and the early vegetative growth. factors included five priming treatments : control (non priming) , hydropriming, halopriming with nacl, kcl , cac...

to study the effect of seed density and plant distance on yield and growth parameters of radish, an experiment was conducted in research of station rice at office rasht in 2008-2009. this study was set in secondary culture after rice by factorial experiment with randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of factorial arrangement of three seed density levels (5, 1...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

Morphological characters such as main stem length (cm), number of branches per plant, leaf length (cm), number of leaves per main stem, number of leaflets per leaf, diameter of main stem (mm), pods / main stem and seeds / pod as well as agricultural herbage yield (t ha), dry matter yield (t ha), seed yield (t ha), crude protein (%) were investigated in Trakya, during the 1999-2002. The maximum ...

abstract study on photosynthetic and enzym activity changes in lettuce under cadmium stress has been done in greenhouse. of zhejang university in chine the experimental design was a crd factorial design organized in hydroponic system with 7 replications. cadmium was added to nutrient solution in cdcl2 in three concentrations (0, 2, 4 mg/l). stomatal photosynthetic factors (transpiration, stomat...
