The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si), ethanol (Et), ascorbic acid (AA) and citric acid (CA) on vase life of Narcissus tazetta L. cv. ‘Shahla’cut flowers. For this purpose, an experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with Si (5, 10 and 20 mM), Et (2 and 4%), AA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1), CA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and control (distillated...

The aim of the study was to demonstrate feasibility using hydrogen peroxide stabilized with silver (H2O2-Ag+) and selected fungicides for treatment hyacinth bulbs determine their effects on development fungi colonizing substrate impact plant growth development. Hydrogen captan, pyraclostrobin + boscalid methyl thiophanate tetraconazole were used treat before planting, in form a 20 min soak. eff...

In order to identify ecotyps of field binweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.), seeds from eight proviences, including 125 populations were gathered and sent to Weed Research Department of Plant Pests & Diseases Research Institute, Tehran, Iran. These seeds planted in a uniform environment condition in Tehran. On the base of 24 morphological and physiological characteristics of seedling that derived f...

using plant growth regulators at the stresses environment can improve plant growth and crop production. hence, in this research response of photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll, soluble sugar and flower dry weight of chamomile to methyl jasmonate under different salinity levels was studied. values of 0 (control), 75, 150, 225 and 300μm methyl jasmonate (meja) with salinity levels of 2, 6, 10 and 14...

effects of nitrogen fertilization timing close to the beginning of short-day period and white mulch on flowering and yield components have been studied in ‘paros’ and ‘queen elisa’ strawberry cultivars. split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with eight treatments (two mulch treatments × n fertilization during four different times from last week of august to third week of se...

Flower-like nanostructures of Sb2 - xBixS3(x = 0.4, 1.0) were successfully prepared using both antimony diethyldithiocarbamate [Sb(DDTC)3] and bismuth diethyldithiocarbamate [Bi(DDTC)3] as precursors under solvothermal conditions at 180 °C. The prepared Sb2 - xBixS3 with flower-like 3D architectures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disper...
