in this study, the effect of foliar spray with calcium chloride (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g l-1) during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before commercial harvesting time of apple fruit cv. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’ which trained in three different systems (v shape, hightech and cordon) was investigated. the results showed that types of training systems and foliar application of calcium can affect on fruits quality...

in order to study the effects of manganese sulfate in increasing seed yield of four safflower genotypes (carthamus tinctorius) under rainfed conditions, this experiment carried out in maragheh agricultural research station. the experiment was arranged with four mn fertilizer levels (0,10,20,30 kg ha-1) as soil application together with two foliar spray levels (1% and 2%) of 1.5 kg ha-1 manganes...

Experiments were carried out to investigate the physiological (dry weight of root, stem, peg, flowers plant, fruits sets percent, pod yield (kg plot), 100-kernel weight, days to flowering and maturity) and biochemical (endogenous proline level) traits of groundnut cultivar Swat Phalli-96 under drought stress. The result showed that drought stress significantly (p < 0.05) reduced dry weight of r...

Vermiwash (VW), a liquid extract obtained from vermicomposting beds, is used as an organic fertilizer for crop plants. The current study investigated the effect of a vermiwash foliar spray on the response of bhut jolokia (Capsicum assamicum) exposed to two different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF: Rhizophagus irregularis, RI and G. mosseae, GM) in acidic soil under naturally ventilated green...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a novel group of plant growth regulators which regulate growth and development of plants. BRs application is also effective in ameliorating the adverse effects of abiotic stresses including salt stress. A pot experiment was conducted to assess the influence of exogenous application of BRs as a foliar spray on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and pattern of nutrient...

to investigate the physiological traits of corn in terms of lead contamination with iron spray, research factorial completely randomized design with three replications was conducted in the greenhouse. the treatments consisted four levels of lead (zero, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1 of soil), two hybrids of maize (sc260 and sc704) and four foliar applications of iron sulfate (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 6%). lea...

This study investigated the effects of foliar application of normal and nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) on the growth, proline content, and some antioxidant enzyme activities of sunflower cultivars at different salinity levels. Treatments included five cultivars (Helianthus annuus L. cvs. Alstar, Olsion, Yourflor, Hysun36, and Hysun33), two salinity levels (0 and 100 mM NaCl), and three folia...

Excellent growth responses were achieved by treating a sugarcane plant crop with the following nematicides: Di-Trapex, EDB, aldicarb, a combination treatment of EDB and aldicarb and a combination treatment of soil and foliar applied oxamyl. Fairly satisfactory responses were obtained when using oxamyl as a foliar spray only, and as a soil treatment only, and as a foliar treatment in combination...

This study evaluated the effect of foliar biostimulants on fruit quality of adult 'Valencia' orange and 'Biancolilla' olive trees. Half of the selected orange and olive trees were sprayed twice before harvest with the SUNRED® commercial mix containing phenylalanine, methionine, mono-saccharides and oxylipins from plant extracts as well as potassium salts and urea. Orange and olive yields and fr...

To assessment growth physiological charachteristics of two hybrids of sweet corn affected different irrigation pattern and zinc fertilization, a research was conducted as split plot factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Main factor included different levels of irrigation pattern included conventional furrow irrigation, fixed every other furrow ...
