In order to determine the most appropriate nutrient solution spraying interval and effects of light quality in the root zone on anthurium in aeroponic system, a split plot experiment, with completely randomized design, was carried out in a greenhouse located in the city of Karaj, Iran. In this study, time between the sprays was the main plot and consisted of two levels (2 minutes spray and 30 m...

A greenhouse experiment, as hydroponic, was carried out in order to investigate the response of sunflower genotypes (Hison125, Iroflor and Bliezer) to different levels of salinity (0, 60 and 120 mM of NaCl) and Fe (0, 50 and 100 mM) in nutrient solution. The experiment was arranged as factorial, based on a completely randomized blocks design with four replications. Results showed that plant hei...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of water stress on Satureja hortensis, a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications was carried out in the greenhouse of Yazd University in 2014. The water stress treatments including 100, 75, 50 and 25 Percent of field capacity (FC) were applied. The results showed that water deficit stress significantly (p<0.01) decreased p...

This research investigated the effects of super absorbentpolymers on root characteristics of Avena fatua under two soil textures and three irrigation regimes. The study was arranged according to a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Hydrogel compositions included three types of super absorbents (Aquasorb, Boloorab A and Stockosorb) with two leve...

Some strawberriy cultivars (Fragaria x ananassa Dutch. cv. Aliso, Selva, Gaviota and Camarosa) were grown hydroponically with five NH4:NO3 mM concentration ratios (0/6 (S1), 0.25/6 (S2), 0.5/6 (S3), 1/6 (S4), 2/6 (S5) and constant nitrate concentration in three replicates for two seasons: Summer and Winter, in greenhouses of Agriculture Faculty of Tehran University. The results are reported as ...

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.51.11.1. 1575.1578 Extended Abstract Introduction: Pulses are a group of crops which are important in human nutrition and also sustainability of agronomical systems and economic advantage. Regarding optimum planting density of mung beans (40 plant m-2), more than 700 tons of certified seeds of mung bean seeds are needed all over the country, confirming the im...

Fungus-plant associations are of the most important mutually beneficial relationships in the ecosystem which positive effects on growth, physiology and ecology of different plants have been already demonstrated. Biological methods such as employing symbiotic (arbuscular mycorrhizal) fungi to roots of plants are considered as potential effective ways of reducing the stressful effects of soil con...
