the effects of sowing date and crop density of chickpea on population and infestation of pod borers were studied in a randomized complete block design by factorial arrangement with three replications in the chickpea growing region of greet, khorramabad in 2007 until 2009. experimental factors comprised of sowing dates (march 14, march 30, and april 21) and crop density (25, 50 and 75 plant.m-2)...

the present study was carried out during a one year period in 2012-2013 in order to investigation of seasonal density and diversity of diplopoda in a hyrcanian forest (semeskandeh forest) in northern iran. for these purpose, some forest soil sampling were done in two mounth intervals and the samples were collected from leaf litter (ol,f,h), the 0-3 cm and 3-6 cm of soil layer (ah). a total of 7...

—Little information exists on breeding Greater Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) in riparian wetlands of the Intermountain West. We examined the nesting ecology of Sandhill Cranes associated with riparian and palustrine wetlands in the Henry’s Fork Watershed in eastern Idaho in 2003. We located 36 active crane nests, 19 in riparian wetlands and 17 in palustrine wetlands. Nesting sites we...

the aim of this study was to investigate relationships between soil properties and plant species to determine the most effective factors separating vegetation communities in rineh rangeland. three stratifying variables were selected including slop, aspect and elevation. the study area was partitioned by combining these classes to generate homogenous units. 1m2 quadrates were located at sampling...

a study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (lilium longifolium l. cv. mero star). in production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...
