gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

Salinity of water and soil resources is one of the most important problems of farming especially in arid and semi arid regions. Gradual soil salinity is an important issue in many regions of the world especially in Iran. Salinity is lead to reducing the growth and yield of crop productions. Plant breeders search for an appropriate breeding method to produce salt tolerance plants due to major pr...

The aim of this study was to investigate of betaine effect on growth performance, hematology and resistance of Schizothorax zarudnyi to salinity stress. For this purpose, 120 fish (6.58±0.29 g) were fed with levels of 0 (control), 0.5% (treatment 1), 1% (treatment 2) and 2% (treatment 3) 2 times per day for 8 weeks. At the end of the period, the fish were biometric and exposed to 20 g. L-1 sali...

This study examined the effects of a commercial Lactobacillus probiotic on growth, survival and resistance of western white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) larvae against salinity and formalin stresses in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea Ecology Research Center. In this experiment, larvae were fed 6 times a day from mysis I (M1) step to post larvae 5 over 3 treatments including a control treatment C...

Salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which impares growth and productivity of plants worldwide. Foliar application of chemicals such as salicylic acid (SA) is among potential solutions to ameliorate damaging effects of salinity. The present research was carried out during 2015-2016 growing season in Research Greenhouse of University of Kurdistan to study the influence o...

Salinity is one of the greatest factors that limit the producion of horticultural crops in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is an annual herbacious plant whose annual global production is over 80 million tons. In areas with warm and dry climate which are suitable for the production of tomatoes, salt is considered a major proble...

To study the response of Iranian melon cultivars to salinity stress a factorial experiment based on RCBD with 3 replications was conducted. Four salinity treatments (0, 6.6, 8 and 12 dS/m NaCl( and 16 muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars namely ‘Dargazi’, ‘Khatooni’, Abbas shori’, ‘Chah paliz’, ‘Zard Ivanaki’, ‘Gorgab’, ‘Gongi’, Saderati’, ‘Dastgerd’, ‘Sabz Isfahan’, ‘Jalali’, Ghasri Mashha...
