in order to study the effects of micronutrients application on some morphological traits associated with seed quantity and quality of sugar beet cultivar shirin, an experiment was conducted in 2001-02 at ardabil agricultural research station. based on soil test results, soil ph was 7.62-7.80 with 0.49- 0.53% organic matter content, and the quantity of absorbable p, total n, and k amounts were f...

the effect of electromagnetic field was examined on zinnia (zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. the seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mt in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. the experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

Pyrethrum is a perennial daisy grown commercially for the insecticide that is extracted from its flowers. In order to evaluate germination and seedling growth of pyrethrum under different temperature and drought stress treatments, an experiment was conducted in seed technology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan branch in 2018. During this experiment, poly...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare the seed extraction methods on physiological quality of eggplant seed in Seed Technology Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University during 2012-2013 growing season. Full ripen standard size fruits (60 DAA) of eggplant var. BARI begun-5 (round shape) and BARI begun-8 (long shape) were harvested and kept in ambient c...

The endogenous levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and phenyl acetic acid (PAA) were estimated in developing seeds of two different varieties of Cajanus cajan: Black seeded variety (V1, big seeded) and B. D. N2 (V2, small seeded). Antibodies against IAA and PAA were raised in rabbits. By competitive ELISA, free and conjugated IAA and free forms of PAA were estimated. Growth analysis of seeds w...

Effects of cold plasma treatment on soybean (Glycine max L. Merr cv. Zhongdou 40) seed germination and seedling growth were studied. Seeds were pre-treated with 0, 60, 80, 100 and 120 W of cold plasma for 15 s. Results showed that plasma treatments had positive effects on seed germination and seedling growth, and treatment of 80 W had the highest stimulatory effect. Germination and vigor indice...

Cone and seed characteristics of Anatolian black pine were investigated in a clonal seed orchard for two years, 2002 and 2006. The orchard, originated from Kastamonu-Karadere seed stand was established in 1993 by using 1 year-old grafts in an area of 13 ha, at Hanönü-Günlüburun, northern Turkey and includes 30 clones. The results showed that, significant variation exists among clones for 14 of ...
