Ten gerbera cultivars (‘Labinel’, ‘Lilla’, ‘Alp’, ‘Alberino’, ‘Bonnie’, ‘Avemaria’, ‘Mammut’, ‘Lexus’, ‘‘Terramixa ’ & ‘Sarolta’) were evaluated for their growth, yield and quality characteristics under protected conditions during 2011. Among the cultivars studied, there were highly significant variations observed for growth, yield and quality parameters. Longest stalk length (60.3 cm) was exhi...

The effects of salinity and supplied calcium chloride on growth and leaf ions concentration of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) were investigated in Gorgan, Iran. A factorial experiment was conducted based on RCBD with four NaCl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) and four CaCl2 levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1). Data of growth, yield and leaf’s Ca, K, and Na content were subjected to analyze ...

crystalline antimony sulfide (sb2s3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°c for 24h.using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare sb2s3 is reported for first time. crystal growth of sb2s3 was done by increasing reaction t...

the study was carried out to examine the effects of urban sewage and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield quantity and quality forage of sweet corn was evaluated in yasouj at 2009. the main experimental factor consisted of 5 irrigation levels including: common irrigation water without sewage effluent until the end of plant growth (i1), the first half of plant growth period with sewage effluent a...

objective: taro (colocasia esculenta l. schott) is a perennial root crop that belongs to araceace family.  it is widely cultivated as a staple food in africa, asia and pacific islands. despite its importance, there is limited information on many aspects of the crop. in order to obtain data that can support improved and sustainable taro production, a field trial was conducted to study the effect...

the present research was carried out under hydroponic culture to evaluate the interaction between salicylic acid (sa), nickel (ni) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry plants as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. well-rooted daughter plants of pajaro cultivar, were potted in 3 l plastic pots and were sprayed with sa at concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm and...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the limits of irrigationwater salinity and soil water content for growth inhibition of vetiver. Moreover,different models were studied to describe the root water uptake and plant topgrowth under salinity and water stresses in a pot experiment. Irrigation treatmentsconsisted of three irrigation intervals (3, 6 and 9-day). The salinity levels of...
