During 2010 and 2011, Aspergillus species from section Flavi were isolated from rhizosphere in main peanut-growing region of Iran, Astaneh-e Ashrafiyeh, Guilan Province (northern Iran). The soil samples were taken from fruiting zone of peanuts in 3 districts and 10 locations, during the pod-filling period. The populations of Aspergillus section Flavi showed significant differences in cfu g-1 am...

Using satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data, several previous studies have indicated that vegetation growth significantly increased in most areas of China during the period 1982–99. In this letter, we extended the study period to 2010. We found that at the national scale the growing season (April–October) NDVI significantly increased by 0.0007 yr−1 from 1982 to 20...

We have evaluated the ever changing epidemiology of cancers in Fars province, Iran since the re-establishment of Fars cancer registry. Based on the collected data from all related sources in Fars province from 2007-2010 we calculated the cancer age-standardized rates per 100,000 person-years (ASRs). The results are presented as incidence rates of cases by site according to the International Cla...

a field experiment was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of nutsedge (cyperus spp) during rice growing season using geostatic in 2011 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. at the first field was divided into 36 grids (2.5×2.5 meter) after the final preparation. grid intersection points were determined and marked. all samples were taken from these points...

management of chemical fertilizers application is very important issues on environment and plant yield especially in arid and-semi arid region. in order to determine the effects of drought stresses and fertilizer levels on quantity and quality yields of psyllium (plantago ovata l.), a study was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the natur...

Seasonal variation (e.g. temperature and photoperiod) between growing seasons might affectinulin content and inulin yield of Jerusalem artichoke. However, there is limited information ongenotypic response to seasons for inulin content and inulin yield. The objective of this studywas to investigate the variability in genotypic response to seasons for inulin content and inulinyield of Jerusalem a...
