effect of foliar spraying by humic acid on mineral leaf composition, yield and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l. cv. ‘granny smith’) was studied. an experiment based on randomized complete design was conducted in khorramdare city of zanjan province. spraying of humic acid was conducted in four levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/l on eight year-old ‘granny smith’ apples grafted on mm106 rootstoc...

in recent decades, foreign direct investment (fdi) has played a vital role in economic growth of developed and developing countries. fdi brings new capital and technology to the host country beside a possibility of spillover to local firms. hence, fdi is considered as an important channel of technology transfer. however, in empirical studies, the size and direction of effects of fdi on producti...

drought resistance is a very important characteristic needed for plant survival especially at germination stage, in arid and semi-arid lands. phosphatase enzymes are widely found in plants. these enzymes are responsible for dephosphorylation of organic phosphate and altering it to mineral phosphate. germination experiments were conducted in two bread wheat cultivars (sardari and alvand) under s...

organochlorine pesticides are as environmental pollutants which have a high half-life and transmit from food chain to human and cause side effects such as mutations in different genes and finally cancer. in this research, after sampling and quantitative and qualitative of organochlorine residue, biodegradation of alpha, beta and gamma hexachlorobenzene (linden), ddt, aldrin, dieldrin, endosulfa...

in this trial, the effect of different levels of echum amoneum (ea) (0.3, 30, 300 or 3000 µl) on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics and methane production was assessed. the parameters studied were in vitro gas production (ivgp), methane production, ammonia (nh3-n) concentration, in vitro organic matter degradability (ivomde), partitioning factor (pf) (the ratio of substrate truly deg...
