Symbiotic effect of twenty one indigenous Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense strains obtained from nodules of soybean cultivated in India was comparatively evaluated with B. japonicum ASR011 on soybean cv. JS335 for improved nodulation and plant growth performance under greenhouse conditions. Significant variation in symbiotic potential among native B. yuanmingense strains was observed and few of them...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate genetic diversity, and screening the tolerant genotypes of sugar beet subjected to continuous and severe water stress in the experimental farm of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in karaj in 2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with 6 replications. fifteen o-types which were tolerant to drought plus 5 (check) genotypes we...

The relationships between grain yields and whole-plant accumulation of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) in maize (Zea mays L.) were investigated by studying their reciprocal internal efficiencies (RIEs, g of micronutrient requirement in plant dry matter per Mg of grain). Field experiments were conducted from 2008 to 2011 in North China to evaluate RIEs...

In order to study the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot yield and essential oil content of lavender, this experiment was conducted in the Research Institute of Forest and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran, in 2013-14. The treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha) and cow manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 ton/ha). The experimental design was a factorial experiment based on randomized ...

in order to evaluate the effects of beneficial free living bacteria (azotobacter chroococcum and azospirillum brasilense) compared to different nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of barley (hordeum vulgare cv reyhan) a field experiment was conducted at research station college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2007-2008. the experiment was arranged in a ran...

the effect of shoot pruning (2, 3 and 4 branches per plant) and fruit position selection (on main branch vs on main and lateral branches) on yield and qualitative characteristics of two greenhouse grown pepper (capsicum annuum l.) cultivars (torkal and paramo) was studied through a factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized block design, of three replications. results indicated th...

This study was carried out to evaluate drought stress tolerance in Thymus kotschyanus accessions using a factorial experiment based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 replications during 2013-2014 in Qom, Iran. The first factor was the accession with 17 levels and the second factor was drought stress with three levels of irrigation including 80% (control), 60% and 40% Field Capacity...
