in order to evaluate the effects of atmospheric co2 concentration increment on rapeseed salinity tolerance, four levels of salinity(0, 5, 10 and 15 ds.m-1) on  three cultivars of rapeseed (okapi, zarfam, and rgs) at three levels of atmospheric co2 concentration(350, 700 and 1050 ppm) were studied. the experiment was conducted at the greenhouse of tarbiat modares university at 2010 and 2011 crop...

in order to determine the genetics of barley lines for freezing resistance based on crown survival percentage an experiment was carried out as a split plot design on the basis of randomized complete blocks with two replications. forty barley lines were assigned in subplots and five freezing temperatures (-8, -11, -13, -15 and -17 ˚с) were allocated in main plots. the results showed significant ...

to determine sugar content and root yield variation of new sugar beet hybrids under different irrigation levels, an experiment was carried out at zarghan agricultural research station offars agricultural and natural resources research center, shiraz, iran. the study was conducted as split block based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years, 2009-10, using lin...

introduction malachite green (mg) has been used as a food coloring agent, food additive, medical disinfectant as well as a dye in silk, wool, jute, leather, cotton, paper, and acrylic industries. it is also extensively used as a topical fungicide and ectoparasiticide in aquaculture industries throughout the world. the findings reveal that this dye has now become one of the most controversial co...

bitter asafetida (ferula asa-fetidae l.) is a wild plant of the family umbelliferae. the present study was carried out to determine the type of dormancy of the plant’s seed, and find out the most suitable treatment needed for quick germination of seeds. twelve treatments including ga3 (500, 1000, 1500 ppm), kno3 (0.1, 0.2 0.3 molar), rinsing (24, 48, 72 hour),elimination of seed coat (one year-...

extended abstract   introduction the most important indicator of climate in a region is vegetation community. climate can be different over large areas, because of changes in vegetation community. vegetation influences weather and climate in its surrounding areas mostly by way of evapotranspiration and albedo so they play a role in the earth’s energy balance. these effects on the earth’s energy...

the new device made in this study could calculate the proper position of tillage tools relative to the land surface at each point, and hydraulic operator set its optimum position. the optimum position of tools is calculated by depth control software developed for this device, and its input data were depth for root development. the performance of device was tested on subsoiler for precision till...

background and objectives: over the last decade, climate change has been one of the most challenging issues in the scientific papers. studying the impacts of climate change on crop productivity at regional scale will depend on the right estimate of future climate. this estimation is being implemented by climate models and most of them by general circulation models (gcms). this study aims at pre...

boron toxicity is becoming more extensively widespread in arid and semi arid regions, due to the application of either saline waters or irrigation waters containing a relatively high b content. results of research indicate that addition of certain plant nutrients such as n may reduce the harmful effect of high b levels. therefore, the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the interactiv...

plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is an alternative to chemical pesticides against harmful microorganisms especially soil-borne diseases. rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important soil-borne fungal pathogens that causes serious damages to important crops. in this study, to screen successful pseudomonas bacterial isolates, the inhibition of pathogen growth was evaluated in-vitro....
