an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of se spraying on yield and growth indices of wheat under drought stress condition, in agriculture and natural resource research center of tehran province in 2011-12. a split plot layout within randomized complete block design with three replications were used. main plots were three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, non-irriga...

twenty-two bread wheat cultivars along with susceptible (sholeh) and resistant (azadi) control cultivars were evaluated for resistance to russian wheat aphid of two growth stages including seedling and stem elongation in greenhouse. five adult aphids per plant were used for infestation. leaf chlorosis at seedling and stem elongation stages and leaf rolling at seedling stage were measured. other...

In the current study, we investigated the influences of theobroxide on stem elongation in spinach (Spinacia oleracea). Our results showed that stem elongation and flower formation were inhibited by spraying spinach plants with theobroxide under inductive, long day conditions (16 h light/8 h dark), while application of exogenous applied GA3 prevented the effect of theobroxide. Quantitative analy...

this research was conducted at torogh agricultural research station in khorasan-e razavi province to determine the impact of irrigation cutoff at different growth stages and percentage of water use on the yield and water use efficiency (wue) of wheat cultivars using sprinkler irrigation. the study was done from 2006-2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design with a str...

due to extent of zinc (zn) deficiency in soils of iran and its deficiency in human diet, this study investigated the effect of zn sulfate foliar applications (non-foliar application, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation stage, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and grain filling stages, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and 2 g/l at grain filling stages) on yield and its components (farm sector) and influence of grain ...
