This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol as an anti-gibberellin on some morpho-physiological characteristics of Petunia × grandiflora ‘Bravo Blue’, and determine the optimum concentration of paclobutrazol for drought resistance in this plant. The experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse. T...

in order to evaluate the morphological changes of rice seedlings (variety of neda and fajr) under salinity management in 1394 was conducted in islamic azad university, ayatollah amoli. this factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two genotypes (varieties neda and fajr) in four salinity levels (zero, 40, 80 and 120 mm sodium chloride) and was performed in triplicate. results ...

The possible use of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) in the production of marigold and basil seedlings examined. Six medium prepared from commercial peat (CP) and MSWC (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 100% v/v). There was not any plant growth when MSWC used alone (100%). The addition of MSWC in low content (15% and 30%) improved seed emergence for marigold and basil respectively, while greater conte...

to select an appropriate medium for the growth of plant is one of the problems of most greenhouse owners in production of pot ornamentals. so, current research was conducted to evaluate effect of some available media in mixtured by perlite on the growth of pothos. study was based on a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 8 measuring times and 6 replications in a fiberglass greenhouse...

the autotetraploidy was achieved in basil using tip meristem treatment of seedlings with various concentrations of colchicine solution (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 0.75% (w/v) ph = 6). a significant increase in the essential oil content was observed in tetraploids as they carry the potential of productivity of 69 % more oil over the diploids. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the e...

DCPTA (2-diethylaminoethyl-3, 4-dichlorophenylether) and CCC (2-chloroethyltrimethyl- ammonium chloride) have a great effect on maize growth, but applying DCPTA individually can promote the increase of plant height, resulting in the rise of lodging percent. Plant height and lodging percent decrease in CCC-treated plants, but the accumulation of biomass reduce, resulting in yield decrease. Based...
