This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of salinity and nitrogen on growth and yield of tomato and concentration and total uptake of some nutrients in different parts of plant in hydroponics culture. Nitrogen (N) was used at 0, 1.5 and 3% levels as NH4Cl and NH4H2PO4 and salinity consisted of 0, 30 and 60 mM as NaCl and CaCl2 (2:1 w/w). A completely randomized design experiment wa...

Abstract In order to assess reduced nitrogen level impacts on butterhead lettuce (Lacttuca sativa L.) growth and yield, an experiment was done from May to August 2015 in research greenhouse of Shahrekord University. The experiment was conducted through randomized completed design with three replications and four treatments. The lettuce plants were grown in floating system using 60, 80, 100 a...

Mint is an important medicinal herb that is cultivated in different parts of the world. In order to investigate the effects of salinity stress on morphological characteristics of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.), an experiment was conducted in 2013, based on complete randomized design, under hydroponic conditions, at Research Greenhouse of Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Ir...

In this research the effect of four concentrations of nickel and copper (25, 50, 100, and 200 µM) on root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight, leaf surface, and photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids), sugar, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide content and antioxidant enzyme activity (CAT and APX) in Okra plants were evaluated. The results showed that in those plants which ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of paclobatrazol and cycocel on some quantitative and qualitative traits of zinnia. Seedlings were transplanted on Horticulture Department Farm , College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology. The experiment was carried out in the framework of randomized complete block with 3 replications. Triats which were studied included plant heigh...

Salinity is one of the most important factors limiting agricultural production. Cotton, as an oil-fiber plant, is one of the most important industrial plants and is sensitive to salinity, especially at germination and seedling stages. Therefore, in this study, 14 allotetraploid varieties of commercial and local cotton were selected. The study was carried out as factorial with a completely rando...
