In tropical dry forests most plants are deciduous during the dry season and flush leaves with the onset of the rains. In Costa Rica, the only species displaying the opposite pattern is Bonellia nervosa. To determine if seasonal changes in light availability are associated with the leaf and reproductive phenology of this species, we monitored leaf production, survival, and life span, as well as ...

in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of micro nutrients on physiological growth indices and total dry matter yield of forage corn. field experiment was conducted in 2006 at bersian village isfahan. a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. plant treated with 8 foliar application treatments (fe, zn, cu, mn, fe + mn, cu + zn, fe + mn + cu + zn and contro...

Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and phosphorous application on yield and physiological parameters of sugar beet polygerm seed (cv. 7233), this study was conductedin 2000-2001 in ardabil agricultural research station (alarough). the experiment was carried out with two factors including nitrogen in 4 levels (0 as control, 100, 200 and 300 kg n/ha) and phosphorous in 3 levels (0 as contr...

introduction: nitrogen is an essential element forplants and in combination withelements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and sulfur results ineven more valuable materials such as amino acids, nucleic acids, alkaloids. hibiscus tea (hibiscus sabdariffa ) from malvaceaefamily is known by different names in different parts of the world. in iran it is calledthe maki tea, tea meccaorred tea.as an i...

Greenhouse experiments in a completely randomized design were carried out to investigate the effects of nitroxin fertilizer (0, 1 and 2 li/ha) on morphological and physiological traits of Amaranthus retroflexus in 2013. The traits in the study included plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots, roots, stem and leaf, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin, a...

In this study, forty-two fungi from soil were isolated and tested for their carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) and xylanase activities. From all isolates, the fungal isolate FR60, which was identified as Aspergillus aculeatus Iizuka, showed high activities in both CMCase and xylanase with 517 mU/mg protein and 550 mU/mg protein, respectively. The crude enzyme from A. aculeatus Iizuka FR60 could h...

abstract this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid (ga3) (0.250, 500 and750 mg l-1) on vegetative growth of olive sapling (olea europaea l) in 2004-05 at shahid chamran university of ahvaz. the experiment was a completely randomize design with 4 replications. parameters measured were: shoot height, inter-node length, leaf and root area, fresh and dry weight of shoot...
