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...

the effects of drought and salinity stress on the growth and chemical compositions pennyroyal(mentha pulegium l.) plant were investigated. this experiment was carried out in a factorial-randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions and plantlets were subject to four soil moisture regimes (40, 60, 80 and 100 of field capacity (fc)) and five salt treatments with 0, 25, 50, 75 ...

this study was aimed to assess the effects of excess boron on 59 genetically divergent wheat accessions and to identify those with high and stable yields under a range of soil boron concentrations. the second aim was to test the applicability of a laboratory technique performed at juvenile stages of development in estimating field boron tolerance. the study comprised a control and three boron t...

• Five viticultural parameters have been proposed in the literature as particularly important for defining a balanced vine able to produce high quality grapes: 1) total leaf area/yield, 2) yield/pruning weight, 3) pruning weight/linear meter of canopy length, 4) total leaf area/linear meter of canopy length, and 5) leaf density (leaf layer number). For very high-quality production, 2 more varia...

Aeroponic culture is an alternative method for optimizing growth of different plants in controlled conditions. Aeroponic systems are an efficient tool for the root studies and improving medicinal root production. In order to study the feasibility of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) production in aeroponic systems and assessing the effects of different NAA concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5...
