the field experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil moisture tension and potassium on growth and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of thomson navel orange on citrumelo rootstock in kotra citrus research station in ten years (1998-2009). the experiment was designed for four replications in randomized complete blocks with factorial treatment structure. the factors consisted ...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The interspecific allometry of maximum plant height (Hmax) with respect to maximum basal stem diameter (Dmax) has been studied for leptocaulis dicot and conifer tree species. In contrast, virtually nothing is known about the interspecific allometry of pachycaulis species. Here, the interspecific allometries for palms, cacti and cycads are reported and compared with those of ...

a field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (d1, d2 and d3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (n1, n2 and n3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha nitrogen, respectively). the experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design in three replicates. results indicated t...

today, environment protection and safe crop production are very important. the management of soil elements by bio-fertilizers is considered as important point for sustainable agriculture. mode of action of fertilizers is very different in drought stress conditions. to evaluate biological fertilizers (agrohumic, nitroxin, superabsorbent and vermicompost) and compare them with current chemical fe...

kochia is a halophyte plant and is a good source of forage for livestock under saline irrigation. in order to investigate the salinity effect on morphological and forage characteristics of kochia, an experiment was conducted. three saline waters (5.2, 10.5 and 23.1 ds m-1) and three kochia ecotypes (birjand, borujerd and sabzevar) were allocated as main and sub plots, respectively, in a split p...

tomato  (l.ycopersicon esculentum  mill.) cv. rio grande  seedlings were nutritionally conditioned with solutions complete fertilizer n(60% no3+40% nh4)-p-k (20-20-20) , n(30%no3+70% nh4)-p-k (15-5-30) , the first two week   n(60% no3+40% nh4)-p-k (20-20-20) and later two week  n(30%no3+70% nh4)-p-k (15-5-30)  and vice versa were  applied in  completely randomized experiment with three replicat...
