The changes of main sugars and organic acids of Red delicious and Golden delicious apples from Semirom region in Isfahan Province were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The apples were harvested, graded and packed in three kinds of wood, car-board and perforated polyethylene film packages and stored for eight months at 0±0.5oC and 90 to 95% relative humidity for furth...

One of the most important waysto decrease surface evorsion and increase forgie production is cultration of When we cultivate corns and we have not any good yields we can change the corn species with perennial range species. It causes to decrease surface erosion and increase forage production. The goal of this study is assessing of unsuccessful reasons in forage rain fed cultivation of Onobrychi...

Continuous decline of groundwater quality for agricultural purposes has become a major concern in extensive arid and semi-arid regions. Therefore, mapping the quality of groundwater on a broad scale is an essential step in land management. This study aimed to map spatial distribution of two important groundwater quality indices including EC and SAR in Isfahan province, Iran, using geostatistica...

In this study, 17 climatic variables from 43 synoptic and climatology stations were selected within and adjacent areas of Esfahan province which the stations...

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that affects physiological processes of plants and reduces crop growth and yield. In order to study the effect of salinity stress on some physiological and agronomical traits of Thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis ecotypes and their classification, a factorial experiment was carried out using randomized complete block design with three replications in...

The vast and diverse rangelands of Iran require the selection of appropriate methods for grazing intensity measurement in the different vegetation types.

In this study nine methods of the utilization measurement were conducted on the E. ceratoides stands of Hanna exclosure Semirom, Isfahan province. The duncan mu...

Unsuitable planting and weed competition are the most important factors that greatly reduce the yield of bean. In order to study the effect of planting date on yield and yield components of three white bean cultivars in weed infest and weed free condition a factorial experiment with randomized complete block design and three replications was carried out at Semirom in 2009. The treatments were p...
