in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

this study evaluated direct drilling planters used for wheat cultivation in khorasan-e razavi province. a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. the treatments were direct drilling of wheat plants into wheat residue using the following direct planters: (1) sfoggia (13-25), (2) baldan (spd3000), (3) tondar (spd 2500), (4) semeato (shm 11/13). the parameters measured w...

in order to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on germination components and seedling growth of corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the seed technology laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili university, iran, during 2008. studied factors were: corn cultiv...

this study examined suitable mechanized methods to seed rice in dry-bed conditions using dried seeds and determined the most suitable varieties for each method. the experimental design was strip-plots in a randomized complete block design with two factors (seeding methods and rice varieties) and three replications. the testing took place during 2003-2004 at the shavour agricultural research sta...

to better understand seed priming that improve seed germination and seedling uniformity, we examined the physiological role of osmopriming in germination of bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed embryos by a proteomic approach. for this purpose, we used two systems. the first system consisted of osmo-primed seeds by peg 6000 at -0.8 mpa at 15?c for 24 hours, followed by air drying at 15?c, an...

background and objectives: seed vigour is the resultant of a broad range of physiological processes which have genetic background. the study of genetic variation, play an important role in enhancing the ability of breeders in selection and breeding operation. this study aimed to evaluate rice genotypes with the physiological and morphological characteristics related to seed vigour and grouping ...

(How and why to measure the germination process?). In the last two centuries, papers have been published including measurements of the germination process. High diversity of mathematical expressions has made comparisons between papers and some times the interpretation of results difficult. Thus, in this paper is included a review about measurements of the germination process, with an analysis o...

The use of seeds with high physiological quality allows rapid growth and establishment seedlings in the field to be obtained. Therefore, accuracy information obtained during determination is great importance. objective was generalized linear models, investigating which link function (Probit, Logit Complementary log-log) suitable predict T50 uniformity germination soybean corn seeds. To perform ...
