To evaluate the effects of iron application on growth characters of Calendula officinalis L. under end season water deficit condition, an experiment was conducted as split plot at the Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Urmia University (latitude 37.53°N, 45.08°E and 1320m above sea level), Urmia, Iran in 2010. Treatments were irrigation (irrigation disruption at first, second, third harve...

nitrogen is one of the most important and essential lelments for plant growth and development and it has an important role on quantitative and qualitative yield production in agriculture. this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of foliar application of nitrogen on qualitative traits of tomato fruits using a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under...

Abstract This work aimed to investigate the interaction between salt stress and application of silicon dioxide-nanoparticles. In this study, gerbera plants grown in soilless culture were supplied with nutrient solutions different NaCl concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20 30 mM) combination SiO 2 -NPs spray 25 50 mg · L −1 ). Exposure salinity increased sodium concentration but decreased potassium calci...

fumigant toxicity of various doses of essential oils (185.2, 370.4, 555.5, 740.7, 925.4, 1111.1, and 1296.3 µl/l water) from five officinal plants, including rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis), lavender (lavandula vera), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), tarragon (artemisia dracunculus)and summer savory (satureja hortensis)on two stored products pests, cowpea weevil (callosobruchus maculatus) and red...

abstract for evaluation and identification some of the chamomile species in two genera anthemis and matricaria, morphological and phonological characteristics were used. the experiment was conducted in a randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) with three replicates, sixteen quantitative and qualitative traits were evaluated such as plant height, anthodium diameter, receptacle diameter, ligul...

Plant branching is a key process in the yield elaboration of winter oilseed rape (WOSR). It is also involved in plant tolerance to flower damage because it allows the setting of new fertile inflorescences. Here we characterize the changes in the branching and distribution of the number of pods between primary and secondary inflorescences in response to floral bud clippings. Then we investigate ...
