Low soil temperature is one of the reasons for poor germination and establishment of maize. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe possibilityof improvingthe seedling emergence and performance of maize under low temperature stress. A pot experiment was conducted on Zea maize (single cross 704) at 14 ºC as cold stress and seed treatments were priming with  200,  300 and 400ppm of GA3; 100, 200...

The primary aim was to study the relationship between individual serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 4b-hydroxycholesterol, which is an endogenous biomarker of the drug-metabolizing CYP3A enzymes. In addition, the relationship between this biomarker and inflammation, measured as C-reactive protein (CRP), was investigated. Serum samples were used from a recently performed clinical trial in p...

scarce water resources is a worldwide problem, still for iran, a country predominated by an arid and semi-arid climate, water limitation is more severe than for many other areas of the world. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of irrigation regimes on growth, grain yield and irrigation water use efficiency in maize (zea maize l.) in 2006 at the research farm, college of ...

Fertilizer management plays an important role in obtaining satisfactory yields from maize. In addition, fertilizer management is essential for achieving sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. This research was conducted by split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications. Main factor was integrated with chemical and biological fertilizers i...
