in a completely randomized design, the effect of the extract from trifolium alexandrium (0, 0.2 and 0.4%) on the germination, some morphological characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, and nutrients uptake of prosopis cineraria was evaluated. the highest germination rate and percentage (9.16 and 21%, respectively) were recorded in the 0.2% treatment. the maximum and minimum lengths of radicle...

in this research, the effect of using vermicompost on growth rate, fertility and characteristics oftomatoes has been studied. four vermicompost: soil mixture were supplied with ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 and also four different beds were provided. total of 24 small globe tomato plants were tested and in each bed combination, six tomato plants were embedded. rate of growth and yielding of ...

abstract plant- growth promoting rhizobacteria enhance plant growth and yield directly and or indirectly. a factorial experiment was conducted in greenhouse to determine the efficacy of four strains of fluorescent pseudomonas on wheat yield and yield component under saline conditions. the experiment was carried out with the following treatments (non –inoculation control and inoculation with p.f...

application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. in this paper, the benefits of...

this research was conducted to evaluate the possibility using peanut shells compost as a suitable medium in cultivating ornamental plants. effect of peanut shells composts on the growth of viola tricolor and marigold was investigated during seven months. peat + perlite (with a ratio of 2:1) used as control treatment and peat replaced by 25, 50, 75 and 100 % v/v of peanut shells compost. plant g...

the present study was carried out to investigate micropropagation possibility and determine the optimal medium composition and plant growth regulators (pgrs) combinations under in vitro conditions. the cotyledon and epicotyl explants obtained from 1 month old in vitro grown seedlings were used in ms medium containing ba (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg-1) and tdz (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg-1) e...

individual grain weight of wheat kernels differs with their positions on a spike. cultivation practices (such as fertilizer nitrogen and plant growth regulators application) can be used to improve weight of basal and distal kernels. for this purpose, two experiments based on randomized complete block design were carried out with three replications. the aim of this research was to study the mech...
