A single tropical plant species can harbour hundreds of endophyte species within its tissues. Otherwise, little is known about the relationship between endophyte colonization, leaf traits, and spectral properties of leaves. We explore those relationships on Coccoloba cereifera, a plant well known for its symbiotic properties. Endophyte richness in C. cereifera was statistically correlated with ...

the study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed priming on root growth of two barley cultivars (hordeum vulgare l.) under salinity stress was performed in phytogel. the treatments included two cultivars of barely (yusuf and maquie), levels of seed priming (control, hydro-priming and priming with 4.35 g l-1 of urea) and four levels of nacl salinity stress (0, 0.2, 0.3 m). the experiment w...

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is commonly used during different phenological stages of fruit growth and development in almond trees to reduce the amount of irrigation water applied without or with only very small reductions in yield. Therefore, to study the effects of deficit and cutoff irrigation during different phenological stages of fruit growth and development in almond cv. “Mamaei” p...

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...

Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...

Topping stage of tobacco is a key time for development of agriculture measures to promote the quality of leaves. In order to investigating influence of topping timing and suckericide content on tobacco leaf, a factorial experiment on the basis of RCB design with 3 replications was conducted in 2011 at the Tobacco Research Farm of Isfahan. Treatments were including topping time (T1: t...

     Due to the environmental problems caused by the accumulation of significant amounts of waste from peanut cultivation, it seems necessary to provide a solution for the reuse of this organic waste. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to investigate the possibility of using compost of peanut shells in potting Begonia rex. This research was based on randomized complete block desi...
