Background & Aim: This experiment investigated the effect of foliar application of methanol and ethanol on the biomass yield of medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea. Purple coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae family that is used in therapy of respiratory tract infection and bacterial otitis. Experimental: This experiment was conducted in randomized complete ...

azospirillum is a well-studied genus of plant growth-promoting bacteria. phytohormone production by pgpr is considered as one of the effective factor to increase the tomato yield significantly. in order to study the effect of azospirillum inoculant on on growth characteristics and yields of tomato, three strain of azospirillum were isolated, identified, and purified from tehran suburb soils. to...

in the present study, effect of five isolates of trichoderma harzianum on growth parameters of tomato was carried out as cr design with six replications under greenhouse conditions. the concentrations 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% inoculums per pot were used. plant length, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, number of leaves and stem diameter as growth parameters were measured. the results showed that isolate...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate genetic diversity, and screening the tolerant genotypes of sugar beet subjected to continuous and severe water stress in the experimental farm of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in karaj in 2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with 6 replications. fifteen o-types which were tolerant to drought plus 5 (check) genotypes we...

the research aims at studying the effects of mycorrhizal fungi (glomus fasciculatum, g. mosseae and mixed composition) on growth, photosynthesis and nutrient absorption of ziziphus spina-christi in mehran greenhouse, ilam province. the result showed that colonization rate in mixed treatment was more than pure treatment of g. fasciculatum and g. mosseae. also, root fresh weight, stomatal conduct...

Plant growth regulators, especially those applied directly to the root system, are thought to significantly reduce growth of the root systems. Various perennials were treated with uniconazole (Concise, Fine Americas, Inc.) to evaluate effects on plant height as well as shoot and root dry weights. Plant height of Lobelia cardinalis was not affected by a 1 ppm uniconazole liner dip, but shoot dry...

the use of recent technologies for the increase of growth indexes and the plants yields is an important aspects and till now many research works for this has been done. one of these efforts is the usage of magnetic water and zeolite for the increase of yield plants. this research work is an study on the effects of magnetic water and zeolite that has been done on frame work of pore random design...
