detopping in some plants reduces vegetative growth and increases transporting of photosynthate materials to specific sinks such as seeds. to study the effects of detopping removal and plant density on yield and yield components of faba bean (vicia faba l.), an experiment was carried out as a factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at farm resear...

this study was conducted to study of morpho-physiological responses of robinia pseudoacacia l. seedlings under drought stress by irrigation period at 4 levels (intervals of 4, 8, 12 and 16 days). the experiment was performed as completely randomized design in a greenhouse environment. results indicated that all studied traits were affected by water stress, except water use efficiency (wue). the...

in this study artificial neural network (ann) was used for modeling of wastewater treatment plants with using. for this purpose, the base of the quality parameters measured at the plant input, plant output value was predicted. neural network input data, including temperature (t), biochemical oxygen demand (bod), chemical oxygen demand (cod), total suspended solids (tss), total solids (ts) and p...

the main goal of interpretation of potential fields (gravity and magnetic) data is determination of the buried source parameters including the depth, horizontal position, the structural index and the physical properties, which is magnetic susceptibility in the magnetic cases and density for gravity fields. for a large number of data it is so expensive modelling the data by using the inversion a...

this study was conducted to evaluate the responses of two greenhouse tomato cultivars to nutrient solutions' electrical conductivity (ec). two cluster type greenhouse tomato cultivars (razan and ergon) were grown in perlite in a glasshouse hydroponic system. the grown plants were daily fed with either constant ec nutrient solutions (ecs 2, 3 ds m-1) or nutrient solutions of alternatively c...

to compensate for some inferior properties of recycled papers, application of processing chemical aids such as chitosan can be quite effective in the wet end section of papermaking. in this study, the performance of chitosan biopolymer, individually or associated with nanobentonite was investigated as wet end additive on recycling process of white cuttings. for this purpose, the performance of ...

in order to determine the best traits related to indirect increasing of grain yield, five wheat genotypes (zagros, tajan, durum cul., kohdasht and n-81-18 line) were evaluated by using randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural recourses. the studied traits included leaf area index (lai), crop growth ra...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of cycosel and naphthalene acetic acid on some vegetative traits and on essential oil yield from rose-scented geranium (pelargonium graveolens heritier), an experiment was conducted in 2008 in the research greenhouse of horticulture department of zanjan university. the study was arranged as a factorial experiment, based upon a randomized co...

the present experiment was conducted to determine nutritional values of wild pistachio trees (p. khinjuk) leaves it's use it in the diet of sheep. initially chemical composition of p. khinjuk leaf was determined. the diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of p. khinjuk leaf were prepared and used for sheep to determine the best replacement level of it with corn silage. fermentation ...

several methods are available to produce haploid plants. one of the most efficient methods is especially microspore culture. stress as a triggering factor is essential for embryogenesis induction in microspores. in the first experiment, the effect of different thermal stresses including cold treatments and heat stress and the control were evaluated. in the second experiment, the effect of 2,4-d...
