Long-term use of drip irrigation technology may lead to root degradation and affect shoot growth and yield. A field experiment was conducted to investigate aboveand belowground growth responses to drip irrigation under mulch film (DI) in comparison to flood irrigation under mulch film (FI) in cotton. The monolith method was used to harvest roots at seven timepoints in the growth periods, and th...

in order to the study of the salinity effects on seed germination and effecting parameter of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) was conducted a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications. factor a was 10 ecotypes, including; sardasht, saghghez, kerman, tabriz,sabzevar, rome, khusf, bojnoord, mashhad and shabestar and factor b was five concentrations ...

to study the effect of salinity and organic matter on chemical composition and root morphology of pistachio cv. badami, budded on seedling root stocks, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial based on a completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four salinity (zero, 800, 1600 and 2400 mg nacl kg-1 soil) and three organic matter (zero, two and four...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of growth regulator NAA on in vitro shoot proliferation, rooting, and plantlet establishment. Among the different concentrations of NAA, the best increase in shoot weight (0.25 g) and shoot number (8.83) were observed from 0.1 mg/I NAA. The highest shoot length (2.60 cm), number of leaves (4.83), number of roots (5.15), and root length (...

According to the importance and diversity of Chenopodium album, Cynodon dactylon and Amaranthus retroflexus in safflower fields and significant role of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oil seed, an experiment was conducted using CRD based factorial design with three replications to study the allelopathic effects of root and shoot extracts of these weeds on germination and early growth ...

greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

Drought significantly reduces yield of many crop plants including wheat in the world. Identification of wheat genotypes that can thrive on limited water is vital to boost the wheat production of rainfed areas. Forty wheat genotypes were screened for drought tolerance using 0, 7.5, 15 and 22.5% Polyethylene Ethylene Glycol 6000 solutions at PMAS Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ...

Pistacia vera cv Badami-e-riz and P.vera cv Ghazvini are the most important and popular rootstocks in Iran, which tolerate salinity and phytophthora fungi. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of polyamines and IBA on root regeneration of transplanted bare- rooted ‘Badami-e-riz’ and ‘Ghazvini’ pistachio rootstocks. The mean comparison between IBA and polyam...

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding programs. In all, 252 co-dominant and dominant markers were used for Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) analysis on 132 lentil recombinant inbred lines based on greenhouse experiments...
