improve forage quantity and quality using organic and biological fertilizers production of important needs in dryland farming systems of the country. in this study the effects of foliar application of four different combinations of amino acid four different time steps were germinated plant growth, stem elongation, flowering and spraying all three steps above with the control treatment was carri...

to evaluate the effect of different application methods of different strains of pgpr on sorghum forage production, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture of university of tehran in karaj during 2009. the treatments were arranged factorially and the data was analyzed based on a complete block design with three replications. the treatments comprised of three p...

In order to investigate the effect of growth media and nutrition method on the growth of Bellis perennis L. and nutrients uptake, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors: growth media (municipal waste compost, Azolla compost, tea wastes compost) and nutrition method (without fertilizer, soil application, foliar spray) in comparison to the control medium (60% soil + 20% manure + 10...

The apoplastic pH of intact Forsythiaxintermedia (cv. Lynwood) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants has been manipulated using buffered foliar sprays, and thereby stomatal conductance (g(s)), leaf growth rate, and plant water loss have been controlled. The more alkaline the pH of the foliar spray, the lower the g(s) and/or leaf growth rate subsequently measured. The most alkaline pH that wa...

Olive trees have been traditionally cultivated in dry conditions as it is a crop very well adapted to Mediterranean dry lands. Foliar fertilization is a widespread application method used by olive growers to correct frequent deficient levels of potassium in olive trees under rainfed conditions. Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) is an economic and easily available fertilizer and a fast source of P a...

Low volume aerial phosphite applications has been used in recent years at rates of up to 24 kg ha" to protect native plant species and communities threatened by Phytophthora cinnamomi while the recommended rate for spray to run-off phosphite application is 5 g L·'. Phosphite uptake and in planta phosphite concentrations in native plant species may vary considerably between species and with appl...

Thyme is a valuable plant used in medicine, perfumery and food industry. Mineral deficiencies often limit the growth of plants. Nitrogen deficiency in agricultural soils is a problem throughout the world. The present study evaluated effects of applying Fe and Zn in absorption of some important nutrients of Thymus vulgaris...

We investigated the effects of coloring agent and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) foliar sprays, reflective aluminium porous film covering on orchard floor enhancement red peel coloration in ‘Hongro’ apples. Foliar spray sulfate, mulching before harvest increased Hunter a value anthocyanin content fruit peels at harvest. In addition, micro-porous had best effect promoting fruits lower inner canopy, n...

Zinc deficiency is not only the cause of low productivity of crops, but it also results in low zinc content in seeds, which leads to poor dietary zinc intake. To study the effect of zinc foliar application on improving plant yield and seed zinc content for human consumption, chickpea plants were raised in refined sand culture with deficient (0.2 μM) and sufficient (1μM) supply of zinc under gla...

The most serious disease problem in fraser fir (Abies fraseri) Christmas tree production is phytophthora root rot (PRR). The efficacies of six fungicide treatments in preventing PRR incited by Phytophthora cactorum and P. drechsleri in 2-year-old fraser fir seedlings were evaluated in 2010 and 2011 in central Pennsylvania. The study examined five fungicide drench treatments [dimethomorph, foset...
