this study seeks to examine how teachers’ educational background (those who have educated in tefl in comparison to those who have educated in literature) may influence their beliefs and attitudes on language learning, teaching and the teaching methods they apply in their classes. on a general basis, depending on teachers’ opinion, learning process might be seen as behavioristic, inductive, inte...

Nitrogen (N) in plants is generally diagnosed by a soil test and plant tissue analysis.However, such analyses are costly in terms of time and money and are not easily accessible byresearchers and extension workers, let alone farmers. Alternative cost-effective methods arerequired for rapid analysis of the N status of crops and to guide N management in wheat. Theobjective of this study was to as...

this study was an attempt to investigate whether teaching critical reading strategies had any significant effect on intermediate efl learners’ vocabulary retention. to fulfill the purpose of this study, 72 male and female students within the age range of 17 to 32 years studying at farzan and farzanegan language schools in tehran at intermediate level were selected from a total number of 114 par...

Vermicompost (VC) is a nutrient-rich material that mixed with soil, and it used in this study. Four different environments were created such as control (Soil:VC:100–0%), mix one (Soil:VC:70–30% w/w), two (Soil:VC:50–50% three (Soil:VC:40:60% well-developed roses (Vinca rosea valiant, Pelargonium peltatum, Pegasus patio) seedlings transferred to individual pots. Plant growth parameters, i.e., th...

in order to evaluate the effects of nitrogen levels and its split application on growth indices and their relationship with grain yield of rice (cv. khazar), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran with 11 treatments arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in 2008. nitrogen fertilizer levels (10, 20 and 30 kg.ha-1) were applied according to...

Humic acids are the most active components of soil organic matter and have been shown to have an hormone-like activity thus stimulating plant growth. The objective of this work was to verify the quantitative and qualitative yield responses of the table grape cv. Italia after the application of a humic acid at various phenological stages. The humic acid used in this study has been extracted from...
