the study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + cidr based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + cidr based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in murrah buffalos. in group i (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a cidr device (1.38 g p4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg e-17β. on day 9, the cidr was removed and a pr...

A large body of research has documented the effect of seed priming ongermination, emergence and crop yield. In such research, seed priming has beenfound to have a positive, negative or no effect. Meta-analysis can help tosummarize and interpret a collection of experiments. The aim of this study was toconduct a meta-analysis to synthesize published data from studies addressing theeffect of seed ...

this research evaluated the effects of gibberellin (ga3) and abscisic acid (aba) on emergence capability, rate of emergence, vigor index and some physiological characters of chickpea seedling (cicer arietinum l.) in a field experiment (as split) under dry and irrigated conditions. seeds were primed with 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm of each phytohormones. examined chickpea cultivar was azad. the resul...

1- introduction crop development is qualitative changes planned that led the plant to ripening. factors such as water available, nitrogen and photosynthetic materials are affected growth and development. under irrigated conditions expected that all of factors except climate elements be controlled. thus, only climate elements able to change of plant growth and development and under these conditi...

present study examines whether there is any beneficial effect of magnetized water application on seedling emergence of maize seeds. water from various sources like tap water, saline water (1,500 ppm), canal water, and sewerage water was treated magnetically by passing it through 235 mt magnetic fields at 3 lpm flow rate. seeds were soaked in water for 24 hours and planted in sand culture. numbe...

recently, increase in crop production depends on better seedling establishment, emergence rate and uniformity. thus, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with 8 fertilizer treatments and 4 replications in 2008 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. the aim of this research was to evaluate effect of vermicompost (vc) on bush bean seedling e...

prediction of seasonal weed seedling emergence patterns is useful in weed management programs. this study was carried out in research fields of islamic azad university – karaj branch in 2009-2010. five crop fields were chosen including: barley, sugar beet and three wheat fields and in each fields between 3 to 5 sites selected randomly. three quadrates were fixed in each sites for studying weeds...
