to survey the effects of chemical and biological phosphorus on the yield and essential oil of satureja hortensis l. as an important medicinal plant, factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replicates at research station of faculty of agriculture, urmia university in 2011. the treatments were chemical phosphorus fertilizer with four levels (0, 50, ...

Hedysarum flexuosum L. is an important forage legume with high nutritive value. The determination of forage production in natural habitats is the most important factor for grazing management. Studies on its habitat characteristics and distribution are scarce. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the extent of pheno-morphological diversity in natural populations of Hedys...

The objective of this work was to morphologically characterize 15 banana cultivars and assess the physical and chemical characteristics of their fruits at two maturation stages, unripe (pre-climacteric) and ripening. The plants were evaluated regarding their pseudostem height and diameter, petiole length, leaf blade length, width and length-to-width ratio. The cultivar Ouro had fruits with lowe...

light is one of the important environmental factors seriously affecting plant growth. given the availability of roots in aeroponic system, the influence of various light rays emitted towards the root zone of anthurium was studied. foliar spray of calcium nitrate in concentration of 10 mm was tried because of the high importance of calcium element in enhancement of vase life and strength of cut ...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

the effect of electromagnetic field was examined on zinnia (zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. the seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mt in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. the experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

in order to study, the effect of pre-cooling treatment, osmotic potential and water stress on some population of two species of satureja bachtiarica and satureja sahendica was studied by a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications in laboratory and greenhouse conditions during one year in the gene bank of institute of forests and range lands by the years...
