In order to evaluate the effect of different training systems on growth, yield and fruit quality of greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Gohar) this experiment was set out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of four training systems including twin-stem system (V-shape), modified twin-system, high-wire system and horizontal system (single-stem)...

fluorescence chemical sensors for the highly sensitive and selective determination of pb2+ , hg2+, co2+ and fe3+ ions in aqueous solutions are described. the ion sensing system was prepared by incorporating lipophilic ligand (l) as a neutral ion-selective fluoroionophore in the plasticized pvc membrane containing sodium tetraphenylborate or potasium tetrakis (p-chlorophenyl) borate as a liphoph...

In Iran, Acacia victoriae is not native to tree in Iran but it is used for important goals such as stabilize hills and the beautify landscape in the southern regions of the Iran, especially in the Khuzestan and Ilam provinces. Researches that include the development of native and non-native trees, which are compatible with the conditions of dusting areas in the western provinces of Iran, are ve...

some new water-soluble schiff base complexes of na2[m(5-so3-1,2-salophen)].nh2o; (5-so3-1,2-salophen = n,n’-bis(5-sulphosalicyliden)-1,2-phenylendiamine); na2[m(5-so3-2,3-salpyr)(h2o)n].2h2o; (5-so3-2,3-salpyr = n,n’-bis(5-sulphosalicyliden)-2,3-diaminopyridine); and na2[m(5-so3-3,4-salbenz)(h2o)n].nh2o; (5-so3-3,4-salbenz = n,n’-bis(5-sulphosalicyliden)-3,4-diaminobenzophenon); where m = cu, n...

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

Climate change and essentiality of the food security have motived scientists to try innovative approaches, among which, crop growth models can help to predict crop yield. In order to simulate tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) growth, phenological characteristics of a short-life variety of tomato were assessed. Phenologic characteristics included leaf area index (LAI), specific leaf area (S...

A soilless cultivation experiment, in a medium containing sand, perlite and peat, based on Hoagland nutrient solution, was designed and carried out to investigate the growth and postharvest response of Zinnia to different concentrations of nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca). Treatments included control 1 (without nutrient solution), control 2 (nutrient solution without N and Ca), and the mixtures of...
