in order to evaluate the effects of planting date and corm density on yield and some other traits of saffron under climatic conditions of malayer in the west of iran, an experiment was conducted using split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications. different planting dates (15th july, 15th august and 15th september) were allocated in the main plots and different c...

abstract saffron (crocus sativus, l.) is one of the most important economical crops for khorasan farmers. almost all saffron yield in iran comes from khorasan provinces. first irrigation times is the crucial factors which affect the amount and quality of yield based upon an on farm investigation it was found that when air temperature reaches to 12 ۫c the most amount of flower is yielded. also it...

Saffron is grown in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran in late autumn, winter and late spring with rainy season. It should be irrigated by supplemental basin irrigation. Since rainfall is usually delayed in autumn, therefore, a pre-flowering irrigation of about 100 mm is needed. In areas with a seasonal rainfall of 600 mm a post- flowering irrigation of about 50 mm is adequate for economical yi...

abstract paclobutrazol is one of the most important triazolic compounds which are used as growth retardants in some crops. in this study, the effect of application methods and concentration of paclobutrazol on plant height of tuberose and possibility of pot production was investigated. in the first experiment, tuberose bulbs were soaked in 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg.l-1 paclobutrazol for 10, 20 a...

in order to study effects of competitive weeds (sinapis arvensis, hordeum spp., secale montanum and agrostemma githago) on morphological traits, yield and harvest index of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university of tabriz, during 2007-2008. experimental factors were weeds controlling times included weeding in rosette (5-7 lea...

Roots are plant organs that function to absorb water and nutrients from the rhizosphere. If soil is dry, roots will be affected first. This study aims know response of soybean root drought stress. research was arranged in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with two factors three replications. The first factor moisture content, which consisted four levels, e.i., 100, 75, 50, 25% field c...

This research was carried out to study the effect of deficit irrigation and saline water on yield and yield components of maize (KSC-500) during different growth stages for Ahwaz climatic condition in the farming years 2010-2011. This research performed in three independent experiments according to a randomized complete block design with split plot layout in three levels of irrigation water and...

Aquilegia `Rose-White' flowered from seed in about five months without vernalization. GA4/7 treatment increased stem height, induced earlier flowering, and increased the number of flowers/ plant. Each of these responses, however, was dependent upon both rate (10, 25, or 50 ppm) and timing of application (4-, 8-, or 12-leaf stage). Treatment at the 4-leaf stage resulted in earlier flowering at a...

The study was planned to see the influence of different organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield quality okra which comprised combination (FYM, neem cake, vermicompost) (viz., Nitrogen, Phosphorus Potassium). experiment laid out in RBD with 9 treatments 3 replications. Treatments involved were T0 – 100% RDF + 20 t/ha FYM, T1 10t vermicompost, T2 2t T3 –75% 25% T4 75% T5 50% T6...
