plant growth regulators (pgrs) are widely used for lodging control in winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown at high n rates. although the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat cultivars had largely solved the problem of lodging, evidence was already accumu-lating that the timely application of a growth retardant such as chlormequat (ccc) or ethephon could increase the grain yield of wheat, by th...

background & aim: the genus satureja belonging to the family of lamiaceae and consists of over 235 different species throughout the world. fourteen species grow naturally in iran of which eleven species are endemic. different species of satureja are used in food, healthy, cosmetic and medical industry. this reseach has been carried due to selection and introduction of suitable germplasm in ...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

blast disease of rice caused by pyricularia oryzae is a potentially damaging disease in northern due to planting of susceptible local cultivars and favorable conditions. to assess the effects of blast on rice yield components and yield loss, one field experiment was conducted at the lowland culture conditions. analysis of blast effects on rice indicated that the maximum yield losses due to unpr...

In order to study the effect of bio-fertilizers  in decrease the effects of water stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivars (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an experiment on split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out  in 2012 at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University of Roude...

in order to determine the appropriate plant density of spotted bean in yasouj, a field experiment was conducted in 2008 as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. three spotted bean cultivars (keshavarzi, talash and oshtori) were sown at five plant densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 plant.m-2). results showed that effect of plant density, cultivar and interactio...

In order to study the effect of bio-fertilizers  in decrease the effects of water stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivars (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an experiment on split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out  in 2012 at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University of Roude...

objective:  in addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

abstract the critical period of weed control (cpwc) is a period in the crop growth cycle during which weeds must be controlled to prevent yield losses. in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc) of corn in hamedan, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at agricultural research station of bu-ali sina university of hamedan. the experiment was carried out as a randomized comple...

The effect of a contplex of several insect and nematode pests on yield of yellow squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) was examined in two field tests in southern Florida. Applications of permethrin for insect control and oxamyl primarily for nematode control plus some insect control were made alone and in combination to achieve differential reduction of various insect and nematode components contributing...
