The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the most important pests of sugar beet in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of water and nitrogen treatments of sugar beet planton developmental time and fecundity life table parameters of the pest. An experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions (25±2oC, 70±5% R.H. and 12L: 12D) on larvae reared...

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...

BACKGROUND: Management of water deficit is a great factor to sustainable crop production, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Vermicompost is an organic compound that is microbial active and rich in nutrients that results from the interaction of earthworms and microorganisms with organic matter decomposition. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to ...

to study the effects of plant density and nitrogen rates on the ability of canola (regent  cobra; an inbred variety) to compete with weeds, an experiment was conducted as a factorial complete block design with four replications. the treatments included four levels of plant density at 150, 190, 230, and 270 plants m-2, and four levels of nitrogen (n) fertil-izer at 0, 46, 92, and 138 kg ha–1. r...

to investigate the effect of wild mustard plant density and nitrogen fertilizer on morphological characters, yield and yield components of canola a split-plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out in bu-ali sina university of hamedan, in 2009. 4 levels of nitrogen fertilization (100, 150, 200 and 250 kgn h-1) were assigned to main-plots and p...

in order to investigate the effect of two spermidine concentrations (0.5 and 1 µ m ) on in vitro gynogenesis of six onion accessions from khorasan province this research was carried out. results showed that the highest and lowest percentage of gynogenesis rate was belonged to m2 and m5 media, respectively. the highest (1.41) and lowest (0.33) percentage of gynogenic embryo were belonged to rosh...
