A field experiment was conducted using a 3 × 3 orthogonal regression design to explore the growth promotion of one-year-old Yunnan pine seedlings (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) in response to foliar application of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) and IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) in order to promote the growth during the seedlings' ea...

plant population density (ppd) and nitrogen (n) have large effects on chickpea growth and yield. to study these effects on chickpea (var. kourosh) a factorial experiment (4×3) in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research farm of college of agriculture & natural science, karaj (iran) in 2006. four ppd treatments were 16, 32, 48 and 64 plant m-2 and n amo...

background and objectives: rice plant requires abundant water during its growth cycle and usually faced with water deficit. drought  stress alters the allocation assimilate , root and shoot growth during the vegetative period and also lower tillering, death tillers, lower plant height and flowering delay. the aim of this study was to screen different iranian genotypes and some lines from irri w...

The measurement of a plant growth without interrupting its natural growth is essential since its diameter and height are related to the development of a tree as well as the water contents. Therefore main objective of this project is to find the diameter and height of a plant. Hence in this proposed work, an interface between a C3008 smart camera and a computer has been developed. Main advantage...

consumption of organic manures such as vermicompost and spent mushroom compost in a system based on organic agriculture beside to maintenance soil health improvement and yield of medicinal plant spearmint. therefore, an completely randomized design experiment with four replication on spearmint (mentha spicata l )was conducted in horticultural department of mohaghegh ardabili university. experim...

in order to investigate the effect of organic and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics of marjoram, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during 2012-2013 growing season. treatments were comprised of four urea levels (0, 21.7, 108.7 and 195.7 kg.ha-1) a...

pollen grains as well as whole plants of four olive (olea europaea l.) cultivars were screened for nacl salinity stress. different vegetative and physiological indexes of the cultivars were analyzed. leaf and root na/k ratio as well as stomatal resistance of plants exposed to salinity proved to be appropriate indexes of whole plant response to salt stress. whereas, in vitro pollen germination p...
