this study was conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm, iran, golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on azivash (corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. treatments were four sowing dates such as may 5, jun 5, ju...

the main objective in production of any rainfed crop, including barley farming is to increase water productivity along with stability in the production of the rainfed crop through improvement of the agronomic management including limited single irrigation (si) and sowing date (sd). in order to determine optimal si management and limited water allocation scenarios, a field experiment was conduct...

in order to study the effects of supplemental irrigation and planting arrangement on yield, yield components and water use efficiency (wue) of kabbuli chickpea (cv. arman), an experiment was carried out at the agricultural research station of gonbad for two years, iran. the experiment was a split-plot factorial arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plo...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Assessing seed quality in orchids has been hindered by stringent germination requirements. Seed quality has traditionally been assessed in orchids using in vitro or in situ germination protocols or viability staining. However, these methods are not always well suited for rapid assessment of viability in the context of ecological studies.• METHODS The potent...

to study the effect of sowing date and a single irrigation (si) on yield and yield components of barley, a field experiment was conducted in dryland agricultural research institute (maragheh, iran) in 2004-06 cropping seasons, using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plots were assigned to 3 levels of sowing date (early, normal and late). sub-plot...

a field study was carried out at the islamic azad university of arak in 2010 to find out the effects of salicylic acid and water deficit stress on oil yield and some physiological characteristics of different varieties of sunflower. the experiment was laid out in a factorial split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments consisted of water stress in th...

BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSIs) are wound infections that occur after an operative procedure. A preventable complication, they are costly and associated with poorer patient outcomes, increased mortality, morbidity and reoperation rates. Surgical wound irrigation is an intraoperative technique, which may reduce the rate of SSIs through removal of dead or damaged tissue, metabolic wast...
