introduction drought stress is one of the most yield reduction factor of lima bean where effects on the more than 60% of bean world production. in this regard, solutions that help increase productivity with high water efficiency in this region can change the agricultural crop production. one of the solutions is using organic materials (acid humic). humic acid with linkage of water molecules and...

a pot experiment was carried out to determine the effect of foliage spraying of silicon (si) on growth and ornamental characteristics of calendula grown under salt stress and greenhouse conditions. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with 3 levels of si (0, 50 and 100 mg/l) and 3 levels of nacl (0, 100 and 200 mm) with 4 replications. at flowering stage, s...

To study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and  oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the Agricultural Research Farm Station of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. In...

Iron deficiency, which severely decreases the plant yield and quality, is one of major problems calcareous soils. Foliar applications humic substances and/or Fe fertilizers are environmentally friendly methods to cope with deficiency. The aim this study was investigate combined effect Fe/nano humic/fulvic acid-based biostimulant foliar on content growth parameters spinach. Treatment solutions w...

organic compounds including seaweed extract were applied in organic production system and sustainable agriculture. one of these compounds is humic acid that was used widely in research and commercial programs. humic acid is an organic acid obtained from humus and other natural resources with hormonal effects and improving nutrient absorption, increasing root and shoot biomass. in order to inves...

The effect of exogenous application; seed priming or foliar spraying of salicylic acid (SA) on Yecora Rojo and Paragon wheat cv. under NaCl-salinity. Gas exchange parameters, growth parameters, yield and yield components were reduced in both cultivars under salinity stress with foliar spray and soaking seeds. Exogenous application of SA through foliar spraying or seed soaking showed a slight in...

the experiment in this study was conducted as a completely randomized block design with ten treatments and four replications. treatments included: to- control, t1- 50g of zn per tree as broadcast application, t2-100g zn per tree, broadcast application, t3- 200g zn per tree as broadcast application, t4- 50 g zn per tree as band application, t5- 50g zn per tree, band application, t6-100g zn per t...

gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.) is one of the most widely cultivated, economically important and common flowering plants worldwide including pakistan. however, its yield of flower is quite low when grown under agro-climatic conditions of multan. a field experiment was conducted at the experimental area, department of horticulture, bahauddin zakariya university, multan (pakistan), during 2...
