Soil salinity is one of the important factors which can influence the growth anddistribution of plant species. Saline and alkaline rangelands of Golestan Province, Iran withlow-deep underground water level are considered as a halophyte plant species growing area.Attempts have been made to determine soil salinity and its relationship with Frankenia hirsutaL. In order to determine the Electrical ...

A total of 1014 samples taken from Lithuanian cows at the end of milking were tested on several parameters: milk reaction with Mastest (developed, tested, and produced at the Lithuanian Veterinary Institute), California Mastitis Test (CMT), Bernburg, Profilac reagent, Eimü-milchtest. Somatic cell count (SCC) was established using the flow cytometry method and Anadis F device; electrical conduct...

this study was conducted to evaluate the responses of two greenhouse tomato cultivars to nutrient solutions' electrical conductivity (ec). two cluster type greenhouse tomato cultivars (razan and ergon) were grown in perlite in a glasshouse hydroponic system. the grown plants were daily fed with either constant ec nutrient solutions (ecs 2, 3 ds m-1) or nutrient solutions of alternatively c...

The most common method for in situ assessment of soil salinity, namely the electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil solution (ECw), is to measure the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) and volumetric water content (θ) of the soil and apply measured or predicted ECa(ECw, θ) calibration curves. The water content and electrical conductivity of a soil solution are indeed the major factors affec...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nacl application on yield and some growth parameters of tomato (lycopersicum esculentum cv. falkato). the study was carried out during september 2005 until may 2006 using soilless culture. the plants were fed with a complete nutrient solution, of electrical conductivity at levels of (a) 1.5 (control) (b) 3.5, (c) 5.5, (d) 6.5 dsm-1 repli...

soil salinity is one of the problems threatening agricultural lands. parts of this phenomenon are related to geologic formations and saltpans, while some major factors are resulted from irrelevant agricultural activities, issue of irrigation, and improper cultivation systems which lead to increase in soil salinity. to avoid such consequences that would end up with ecosystem degradation, suitabl...

A study was conducted to investigate the possibility of measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of cow's milk as a practical and cost-effective means of determining oestrus in cows. Prostaglandin injections were used to synchronise the oestrous cycle of 15 cows. From the onset of oestrus, milk and blood samples were collected from each cow every 2nd day over a period of 22 days. A portable, ...

desertification refers to land degradation phenomenon in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, resulting from various factors including climate variation and human activities. for evaluation and mapping of desertification many research have been conducted leading to regional and local models. in this research, among different existing methods imdpa was selected and desertification intensity ...
