The effect of electromagnetic field was examined on Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. The seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mT in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. The experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. Results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

abstract to study the effects of four types of mulches including wood chips, municipal compost, sawdust and gravel in three different thicknesses on growth of platanus orientalis during two years, an experiment was conducted in mashhad area with semi-arid climate. the research was conducted as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with four replications. treatments included c...

Endosperm and embryo tissues from the seeds of Euonymus alatus (Burning Bush) accumulate high levels of 3-acetyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols (acTAGs) as their major storage lipids. In contrast, the aril tissue surrounding the seed produces long-chain triacylglycerols (lcTAGs) typical of most other organisms. The presence of the sn-3 acetyl group imparts acTAGs with different physical and chemical p...

in the present study, effect of five isolates of trichoderma harzianum on growth parameters of tomato was carried out as cr design with six replications under greenhouse conditions. the concentrations 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% inoculums per pot were used. plant length, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, number of leaves and stem diameter as growth parameters were measured. the results showed that isolate...

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2010 to January 2011 to study the effects of cowdung and potassium on growth and yield of Kohlrabi. The experiment consisted of three levels of cowdung (0, 20 and 40 t/ha) and four levels of potassium (0, 20, 50, 80 kg /ha). The experiment was laid out in ...

a filed experiment was conducted to assay the effect of nitrogen fertilization and cultivated density on essential oil content on dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica) in semi-arid conditions in 100 km of south east of mashhad. the experiment was done as factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications, factor included four levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 50, 100...

The Rosa is one of the most diverse genera in plant kingdom and, particular, its fruits have been used for multiple purposes different parts world centuries. Within genus, canina and dumalis are, economically, important species dominate fruit production. In this study, some shrub traits ten ecotypes collected from rural areas Kars province, located east Anatolia region Turkey were investigated....

aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. this study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘malase saveh’ pomegranates. the results indicated that concentrations of cu in the aril and k, mg, and mn i...
