Objective: To evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of Caper (Capparis Spinosa) under drought stress. Methods: Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. First factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/L), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 12...

Pyrethrum is a perennial daisy grown commercially for the insecticide that is extracted from its flowers. In order to evaluate germination and seedling growth of pyrethrum under different temperature and drought stress treatments, an experiment was conducted in seed technology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan branch in 2018. During this experiment, poly...

in order to study the effect of compost and salinity stress on seedling growth and generative traits of wheat (sivand cultivar) a pot experiment was conducted based on complete randomized design arranged in factorial with six replications at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, mashhad branch, islamic azad university, mashhad, iran, during in cropping season 2013-2014. factors were ...

Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of water deficit stress on the germination, emergence and seedling growth of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] using Completely Randomised Block Design in four replications. Five sorghum cultivars (Jigurti, Gambella 1107, Meko, 76 T1 #23 and P9403) were evaluated under three water deficit stress treatments (0, -0.20 and -0.85 MPa) using PE...

This study investigated the allelopathic effect of Axonopus compressus litter on Asystasia gangetica and Pennisetum polystachion. In experiment 1 the bioassays with 0, 10, 30, and 50 g L⁻¹ of aqueous A. compressus litter leachate were conducted. Experiment 2 was carried out by incorporating 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 g L⁻¹ of A. compressus litter leachate into soil. In experiment 3, the fate of ...

The effect of different concentrations of hexavalent Cr on growth and biochemical parameters of two T. aestivum cultivars (Punjab-11 and Sehar-06) was investigated. No significant inhibition of seed germination was observed in both the cultivars at all the tested concentrations (P ˃ 0.05). A significant decrease in root length for both the cultivars was observed at all the Cr concentrations as ...
