the mill moth, ephestia kuehniella zeller and indian meal moth, plodia interpunctella (hubner) are two injuriously important pests of stored products worldwide. harobracon hebetor (say) has been used as a biological control agent of moth’s larva in peanut storehouses and as well in packaged cereal products. in the present study, the efficacy of h. hebetor in parasitizing larva of the mill moth ...

the genus eremostachys (lamiaceae), consists of about 60 species which 15 species of eremostachys grow wildly in the north-west of iran. the rhizomes and roots of e. laciniata have traditionally been used as a local analgesic and for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and pain in the feet. this experiment was conducted in the north-west of iran in 2012-2013, to evaluate morphological diversity...

deficiency of water resources is one of the major challenges at the global scale and also in iran. the existence water resources of oceans and seas such as the caspian sea and persian gulf in the north and southern parts of iran respectively, can be considered as the alternative to dominate the future problem. this study is processed absorption of nacl based-on natural zeolite and perlite. in o...

introduction today, with the increasing population and the need for strategic and industrial crops the farmers are simulated to grow these kinds of crops. thus, this subject has now been caused the inappropriate use of land and natural resources. on the other hand, the natural environment resources have limited the ability to use its resources and the climate change intensifies this limit abili...

a field experiment was conducted in research farm of isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2011 . various weeding periods were investigated on growth and yield of potato under drip tape and furrow irrigation systems. a split plot arrangement was used in a randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation treatments were included in main plots and periods of weed ...

drought resistance is a very important characteristic needed for plant survival especially at germination stage, in arid and semi-arid lands. phosphatase enzymes are widely found in plants. these enzymes are responsible for dephosphorylation of organic phosphate and altering it to mineral phosphate. germination experiments were conducted in two bread wheat cultivars (sardari and alvand) under s...

for designing tillage implements it would be better to estimate soil forces exerted to the implements. many researches showed that numerical method of discrete element method (dem) is the cheapest and fastest technique for modeling granular material such as soil and especially sandy soil. in this study, paraplow and bentleg tines performance was compared with conventional tine using experimenta...

effects of different k/ca ratios on the growth, yield and physiological characteristics in galia (cucumis melo var. reticulatus l. naud. cv. galia) grown in hydroponics were evaluated. the experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design of three replicates. melon seeds were sown in a medium containing perlite and vermiculite (3:1 v:v) and then irrigated with water containing different...
