one of the strategies for improving the quality of agricultural products is using bio-fertilizers. so in order to study the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, vermicompost and humic acid on growth characteristics and yield of fennel, an experiment was studied on research farm of agricultural college of shahrood university. this study was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomiz...

Objective(s): Copper (Cu) is an essential dietary supplement in animal feeds, which plays an important role in maintaining the balance of all living organisms. Copper nanoparticles (nCu) participate in catalysing activities of multiple antioxidant/defensive enzymes and exerts pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic effects on systemic organs and tissues. The present study e...

in order to study of variation and relationships between morphological traits with yield and its components in three grain sorghum cultivars (kimia, sepideh and payam) and nine promising lines (mgs1-mgs9) received from seed and plant improvement institute, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with four replications in birjand agricultural research station, in two grow...

Eight wild plant species namely Tragia involucrata L., Cleistanthus collinus (Roxb.)Benth. Ex Hook.f., Sphaeranthus indicus L., Vicoa indica (L.) Dc., Allmania nodiflora (L.) R.Br. ex wight., Habenaria elliptica Wight., Eriocaulon thwaitesii Koern. and Evolvulus alsinoides L. were used for phytochemical extraction with four different solvents. Antibacterial activity of these plants was studied ...

quantitative valuations of observed heterosis for 11 traits of 15 f1 hybrids generated by half diallel crosses of six diverse rice cultivars (domsefid, hashemi and binam, three iranian local cultivars; dorfak, kadous and ir30, three improved cultivars), were made in this study. fifteen f1 hybrids and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at t...

Thirty advanced breeding lines of deep-water rice were evaluated during T. Aman season (rainfed ecosystem) with a view to finding out variability and genetic association for grain yield and its component characters. All the tested characters showed significant variation. The highest genetic variability was obtained in filled grains/panicle followed by plant height. Panicles/plant, filled grains...

To evaluate the genetic diversity in twenty barley genotypes, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was done at Agriculture Researches Station of Ardabil, Iran in 2009-10. Investigated traits of this study was included days to flowering, plant height, 1000 seed weight, number of infertile tiller, number of seed per spike, harvest index, days to maturity...
