In sustainable agriculture, protection of the ecosystem and reduce chemical fertilizers are the main goals. Nowadays, sweet basil, one of the best general fragrant foliage, is considered as an industrial plant. In present study to compare different levels of cow manure biochar (CMB) and humic acid (HA) on vegetative traits and mineral absorption rate of green basil plants, an experiment was con...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of cadmium (Cd) (0 and 2 mg kg-1 soil) and salt stress (NaCl 0 and 3000 mg kg-1 soil) on shoot dry weights and shoot Cd, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) concentrations of salt-tolerant (Maverik) and salt-sensitive (RX-9292) hybrid maize varieties. Plants were grown under controlled greenhouse conditions for 19 days. Shoot dry matter productions ...

heavy metal hyperaccumulators have recently attracted considerable attention in remediation of an area's pollutants. lead (pb) is one of the main pollutant heavy metals that its relatively high concentration have been reported in some environments. in present study, the potential of turfgrass tolerance, regarding seed germination and plant establishment were evaluated, in different concent...

The effect of electromagnetic field was examined on Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. The seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mT in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. The experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. Results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

In this study, response of 12 grapevine rootstock genotypes to cadmium (Cd) toxicity were investigated. The Cd application the soil was made at beginning experiment 4 different doses. Shoot, leaf and root dry matter yields, Cd, N, P Zn contents determined assess genotype tolerance toxicity. Present findings revealed that based on shoot, weights, contents, there Cd-sensitive resistant among pres...

Loblolly pine seedlings were grown in 1 x 5 inch biodegradable plastic tubes for 10, 12, and 14 weeks at densities of 42, 84, 126, and 168 per square foot. Seedling density and age significantly affected seedling development at time of outplant ing, and densi ty became more important as greenhouse growing t imes increased. Al l morphological characteristics measured when seedlings were planted-...

dodder is an obligate parasite of many plant families and among dodder species cuscuta campestris has the most diverse around the world. extensive infestation to dodder recently has been reported in some sugerbeet production regions of khorasan provinces. so, in this study greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to test and charachterize the tolerance of commercial sugarbeet varieties t...
