introduction savory (satureja hortensis l.) is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to the lamiaceae family. nowadays, the use of biofertilizers is increased in agriculture and their role in increasing the crops production has been demonstrated in many research works (vessey, 2003; chen, 2006; mahfouz & sharaf- eldin, 2007). one of the most important visions is sustainable production of enou...

cultivation of high efficacy crops in resource utilization, especially with higher water and radiation use efficiencies is one of the important strategies to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture. align with these guidelines and in order to estimate light extinction coefficient and radiation use efficiency of sesame a split plot arrangement of two factors based on randomized complete blo...

in order to investigate the effects of organic, chemical and biological fertilizers on crude protein and oil yields and fatty acids composition in black seed (nigella sativa l.), a field experiment was conducted at agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2009-2010. the experiment was arranged by using a complete randomized block design based on factorial arrang...

in order to study individual and integrated effects of biological, organic and chemical fertilizers on milk thistle (silybum marianum l.) quantitative and qualitative traits, a field experiment was conducted at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during growing season of 2010-2011. a complete randomized block design with twelve treatments and three rep...

cover crops cultivation and application of plant growth rhizobacteria are the key factors to enhance agroecosystem health. a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season of 2009-2010. a split plot arrangement based on a complete randomized block design with three replications was used. cultivation and ...

Autotrophic denitrification with biosulfur (ADBIOS) provides a sustainable technological solution for biological nitrogen removal from wastewater driven by biogenic S0, derived biogas desulfurization. In this study, the effect of different biofilm carriers (conventional AnoxK™ 1 and Z-200 pre-defined maximum thickness) on ADBIOS performance microbiomics was investigated in duplicate moving bed-...

considering high alkalinity of iranian soils and lack of availability of some nutrients in those conditions, sulfur consumption is one approach to increase the availability of insoluble nutrients especially in calcareous and alkaline soils. effectiveness of sulfur depends on activity of sulfur oxidizing bacteria especially thiobacillus genus (t). in order to study the qualitative yield and morp...
