Nowadays, introduction of conversion technologies to solve environmental problems in accumulation of sugarcane bagasse, as an alternative to peat, in the ornamental plants industry seems necessary. For this purpose, in an experiment, the effects of substitution of sugarcane bagasse + cow manure vermicompost with peat in 60% peat + 30% vermiculite + 10% perlite medium were examined on growth and...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a major environmental and human health threat. Therefore there is a need for cost-effective remediation procedures. Chelators such as humic acid have shown positive effects in enhancing resistance to various stresses. The objective of this research was to investigate the use of humic acids at cadmium-contaminated soil on growth and soluble sugar concentration of aloe v...

Silicon (Si) is a beneficial nutrient for growth of crops such as cucumber. It seems that Si improves antioxidant capacity of plants and reduces damages induced by environmental stresses and metal toxicity. This research aimed to investigate the interaction of Si and cadmium (Cd) on growth, dry matter yield and catalase (CAT) activity, as an antioxidant enzyme, in cucumber. This hydroponic expe...

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of germination, seedling growth and antioxidant enzymes activity 15 chickpea cultivars to salinity at the University of South Korea Dankook a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments include chickpea cultivars and, salinity levels of water (water with electrical conductivity 0.7 dS/m as a ...

Background and objectives: The application of growth-facilitator materials to improve germination, early establishment, and plants growth can increase the success of rangeland improvement, planting, and pasture construction projects. In addition, growth facilitators can improve the quantity and quality of vegetation cover and production in dry-farming lands by increasing the success of cultivat...

this research was conducted to examine the effect of a concurrent training on rest level of leptin of plasma and some hormonal factors in non-athlete subjects. the research population included non-athlete men who didn’t participate in any organized sport activities. 30 men were chosen voluntarily among the above-mentioned population and were divided into 2 groups: experimental (15 subjects) an...

Woad (Isatis cappadocica Desv.) is a herbal plant, native to central and western Asia and from Brassicaceae family. In this research, we have investigated the effects of different irrigation levels on plant morphological and physiological attributes including canopy area, roots and shoots dry and fresh weight, roots length, proline concentration, shoots soluble carbohydrates content and antioxi...

this research was conducted in two protect and destroy region in the middle zagros, in illam province. in order to identification of ecological species group and evaluate density of regeneration, effect of many factors such as protection, vegetation, physiographic factors, physical and chemical properties of soil in study locations were studied. to achieve these purpose number of 54 plots using...
