The potential of slow phase chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) to predict the physiological status of Pelargonium propagules (seven varieties in 28 different batches) post shipment or post simulated shipment was evaluated. The rooting ability of the cuttings was recorded and used to confirm the results from the CF data. The use of cardboard versus polystyrene packaging and the inclusion of two treat...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol on some physiological characteristics of chickpea under drought stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in 2011 at the recearch center of plant for sciences in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the first factor was different levels of methanol including, 0 (c...

in order to investigate the effects of foliar application with plant growth promoters on morphological characteristics of maize (single-cross 704), an experiment with three replications and sixteen treatments conducted with priming and spraying of growth promoters (organser, mas-raiz, dulzee and control)  as factorial based on complete randomized block design. analysis of variance showed that t...

The effects of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on the fruit yield, growth and nutrient element content of strawberry cv. Fern were investigated under organic growing conditions between 2006 and 2008. The experimental plot was a completely randomized design with 3 replicates. Three PGPB strains (Pseudomonas BA-8, Bacillus OSU-142 and Bacillus M-3) were used alone or in combination as biof...

chlormequat (cycocel or ccc), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in brassica oleracea cultivar ‘kamome white’ and ‘nagoya red’. different concentrations of ccc (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. the 1500 mg/l of ccc resulted in abou...

background & aim: this experiment investigated the effect of foliar application of methanol and ethanol on the biomass yield of medicinal plant echinacea purpurea. purple coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the asteraceae family that is used in therapy of respiratory tract infection and bacterial otitis. experimental: this experiment was conducted in randomized complete block designed...
