The dynamic and static deficit (DDI, SDI), partial root drying (DPRD, SPRD) and full (FI)irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramos potato cultivars in a semi-arid area. FIreceived 100% of the potential evapotranspiration (ET); SDI and SPRD received 75% of ETduring the growth period; DDI and DPRD received 90% of ET in the first third, 75% of ET inthe second third and 50% of ET in the...

Changes in water content and dry weight were determined in control cells and those induced to cold harden in response to abscisic acid (ABA) treatment (7.5 x 10-5 molar). Bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss cv Manchar) cells grown in suspension culture at room temperature (230C) for 7 days acclimated to -28°C (LT50) when treated with ABA, or to -50C when untreated. ABA significantly reduced cell g...

in order to investigate the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of chickpea genotypes, determining the best drought tolerance index and genotypes, an experiment carried out in the saatlu agricultural research station of uromia in 2008-2009. the experiment was split plot based on the randomized complete blocks design with four replications, in which, four levels of irrigation as ...

application of bio-fertilizers, especially mycorrhiza as substituent or complement of chemical fertilizers is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition in sustainable management of agro-ecosystems. in order to evaluate the separated and integrated application of mycorrhiza biological fertilizer and phosphorus chemical fertilizers on growth indices of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.)...

a field experiment was conducted during 2009-2011 at the aligarh muslim university agricultural research farm, india, to evaluate the efficacious nature of some oil-seed cakes such as neem cake and castor cake, a botanical calotropis procera and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (psb) pseudomonas fluorescens singly and in various combinations, on the growth and productivity of trigonella plant. g...

Present water scarcity is a severe problem and cause of deterioration in quality and productivity of crops to reduce crop yield in arid and semi-arid regions. Silicon is known to better the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth and development. Silicon (Si) found to be an agronomically important fertilizer element that enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses (Liang et al., 2005). ...
