the anatomical and epidermal characteristics, as well as the physiological response, of 'colombia' ecotype cape gooseberry plants treated or untreated with foliar applications of kaolin at 2 irrigation levels (well-irrigated plants vs. water-stressed plants) were evaluated. relative water content (rwc), stomatal density, and chlorophyll index were reduced under water stress. water stress increa...

studies on floristic composition of weeds in an agricultural zone could help to reach a better weed control management strategies. the goal of this article was the study of the floristic composition of lentil weeds grown filds in khorramabad, during 2007-2008. sampling was done on 9 point of each field according to w method in 21farm. in each plat per plate of all weed species were counted sepa...

to estimate population density of the cabbage aphid, brevicoryne brassicae (l.), a stratified random sampling was conducted in two unsprayed canola fields in isfahan (central iran) during 2011-2012. population density was determined for apterous, and alates, as well as the total population, at two plant growth phases (pgp1: from plant emergence to the end of rosette, and pgp2: from the beginnin...

in order to evaluate the effect of water stress and plant density on growth and seed yield of safflower, a study was conducted during 2009 growing season at agricultural college of shiraz university. the experimental design was split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the treatments were deficit irrigation (100, 75, and 50% of field capacity-fc) as main plot...

in order to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on silage corn under different plant densities, a split plot experiment was carried out in a randomized completely block design with three replicates in south western iran. the main plot included nitrogen fertilizer treatment at three levels (n1: with out chemical and organic fertilizers, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% orga...

introduction growth analysis has been widely used in breeding programs to identify the important plant developmental phases and components related to higher yield under a particular set of environmental conditions. castor bean (ricinus communis l.) is an important commercial crop. castor oil based by products is used in manufacturing of several commercially important commodities like surfactant...

, present study was performed in order to determine effects of different amounts of irrigation water, plant density and planting pattern on yield, yield components and water use efficiency (wue) of corn, variety single cross 700 (700ksc) using drip irrigation systems (tape) , in the research station of islamabadgharb in two consecutive years (2011-2012). the project was in the form of split blo...
