in order to investigate the impact of foliar zn application in reducing the negative effects of water stress on bean growth and yield, a field experiment was carried out in the research field of ilam university in 2011. the experiment was arranged in split factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the experimental factors were water stress including water wi...

BACKGROUND Rice is the primary source of food for billions of people in developing countries, yet the commonly consumed polished grain contains insufficient levels of the key micronutrients iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and Vitamin A to meet daily dietary requirements. Experts estimate that a rice-based diet should contain 14.5 µg g(-1) Fe in endosperm, the main constituent of polished grain, but breedi...

black seed is one of important ancient medicinal plants with various properties in traditional medicine. in order to evaluate microelements (fe and zn) effects on seed yield and yield components of black seed in salinity stress, a complete block design with three replications was conducted in esfahan agricultural and natural resources center during 2013-2014. three water salinity treatments wer...

to evaluate the effect of various levels of nitrogen fertilizer on nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield of canola cultivars, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in 2007. factors were: nitrogen fertilizer at four levels (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha) in the main plots and canola cultivars at three levels (‘clover’, ‘opera’ and ‘okape’) in the sub plo...

many researchers have reported positive effects of converter sludge and slag, two by-products in isfahan iron melting factory. in this work, the optimum rate of application and the availability of some essential elements (for plant growth) in the converter sludge and slag for corn were investigated. the converter sludge contains about 64% fe іі and ііі oxides and some other essential elements f...

In order to investigate the effect of micronutrients foliar application on seed yield and essential oil of black cumin, a field experiment was conducted based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications at the farmlocated in Naqadeh city, West Azerbaijan province, Iran, during 2015-2016 growing season. Treatments were separate application of Nano-Iron, Nano-Zinc and Nano-...
