Forage production and morphological characteristics of forage corn (Zea mays L.) at different levels of water salinity and mulch types

Effect of using mulches at different levels of irrigation water salinity on some characteristics of forage corn (Zea mays L.)

Nowadays, mulch types are used to improve environmental conditions for plant growth in terms of irrigation water and soil quality. Production and cultivation of forage plants in arable lands, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is very important, because it reduces grazing pressure on rangelands. In order to evaluate the effect of mulch types on some plant characteristics of forage maize ...

Impact of Titanium on Growth and Forage Production of Maize (Zea mays L.) under Different Growth Stage

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of titanium dioxide and titanium oxide foliar application during two growing stage on growth and forage production of maize during 2012 growing season in the research farm of Islamic Azad University of Varamin-Pishva Branch. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks arranged in factorial with four replications. The factors were includ...

Investigation Role of Vermicompost to Improve Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics of Corn (Zea mays L.) Production

Overuse of different chemical fertilizers is one of the causes for the degradation of environment and soil. Biological fertilizers are the newest and most technically advanced way of supplying mineral nutrients to crops. Compared to chemical fertilizers, their supply nutrient for plant needs, minimizes leaching, and therefore improves fertilizer use efficiency. Vermicompost is an organic compou...

Physiological and Ionic Expressions of Different Hybrids of Maize (Zea Mays L.) under Different Salinity Levels

A pot culture experiment was conducted to estimate the behavior of maize under saline soil conditions in the wire house of Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. There were three treatments with different levels of salinity and equal amount of Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) in all pots including control was applied to three genotypes of Hybrid Maize i.e. ...

Determination of zinc phosphide residues in corn (Zea mays) grain, fodder, and forage.

Effect of Plant Density and Weed Interference on Morphological Characteristics and Yield of Corn (Zea Mays L.)

Objective: Field experiment was conducted in 2009 to investigate the effects of plant density and weed interference on morphological characteristics and yield of corn (Zea Mays, L.) at Research Station of University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. Methods: The experiment was arranged as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Plant density (D1, D2, D3 and D4: 5, 7...
