The objective of this study was to investigate field trends in agronomic characters of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) performance trials. Field experiments were arranged as lattice designs, and for each plot within an experiment, an environmental covariate representing the spatial trend was calculated using neighbour analysis. Correlations between environmental covariates of different charact...

In In order to investigating changes range of oil yield and percentage attention to plant density on three varieties of black seed, an experiment was conducted in the form of factorial based on completely randomized block designs (RCBD) with 4 replications in Saat-Loui agricultural station of West Azerbaijan province. In this research, the first factor (A) contained two levels 20 and 40 cm inte...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous application of salicylic acid concentrations on the physiological and biochemical traits and essential oil content of chamomile under normal and heat stress conditions as induced by delayed sowing. The experiments were conducted during 2011–2012 as a factorial using a randomized complete block design with three replications,...

Cadmium is a toxic element ubiquitous in the environment, which damages biological systems in various ways. The major source of cadmium exposure is food. High cadmium content in the soil leads to high cadmium concentrations in certain plants such as grains (above all surface layers and germs), oil or non-oil seeds, fruit and vegetables. These food commodities are the crucial components of a veg...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grain and oil quality are defined by grain weight and oil percentage, oil fatty acid composition and the amount of antioxidants. The aim of this work was to establish and validate a simple model, based on published relationships, which can estimate not only yield and its components, but also grain and oil quality aspects which are of relevance for industrial pro...

effects of various fertilizers such as farmyard manure (fm), urea, and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr, including the genera azotobacter and azospirillium) were checked on yield, fatty acids, protein, and oil contents of sunflower. a two-year field experiment was conducted in a semi-arid region in iran in 2007 and 2008. the experiment was a split plot in a randomized complete block d...

to evaluate canola cultivars response to physiological characteristics and grain yield end seasonal drought stress in weather condition of ahvaz, farm experiments were done at research farm of khuzestan agriculture and natural resources center. during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 crop years. farm test comprised drought stress was done as split plot form with randomize complete block design with four...

Plant essential oils are potential food preservatives due to their inhibitory effects on bacterial and fungal growth. Antifungal activities of common thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oil were tested against endophytic fungi grown from wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain, molecularly identifi ed as Alternaria alternata, Alternaria infectoria, Aspergillus fl avus, Epicoccum nigrum and Fusarium poae....
