the high yield depends on high dry matter production per unit area. azotobacter bio-fertilizer experiment to investigate the effect on the index, total dry matter accumulation and pishtaz and chamran wheat cultivars in 2005 was conducted in the faculty of agriculture, lorestan university. experiment, a split-plot randomized complete blocks design with four replicates were tested. treatments con...

in order to study the effect of different organic fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of fenugreek forage, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with six treatments and three replications at agricultural research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2006. the experimental treatments were four orga...

A study was performed to examine the changes in density of stacked roundwood, chips, and chunks as affected by various compaction treatments. Density of stacked roundwood bolts was tested for the effect of stacking orientation, binding of the stack ends, and species. Stacked bolt wood occupied less than 50 percent of the total rack space for all species, giving final dry bulk densities, based o...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (TA) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (PBE) on N utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Saanen dairy goats. The experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. Tannic acid solution and PBE were added to fresh ...

Research Professor, Systems Ecology Research Group, San Diego State University, San Diego, Calif., 92182. Abstract: Photosynthesis and respiration rates were determined for chaparral shrubs as a function of temperature and/or light intensity. In mature stands at Echo Valley, Calif., net seasonal carbon assimilation by leaves ranges -2 from a dry weight equivalent of 673 g m -1 in -2 pure stands...

Aspergillus niger F7 isolated from soil was found to be the potent producer of cellulase and xylanase. The residue of forest species Toona ciliata, Celtris australis, Cedrus deodara and Pinus roxburghii was selected as substrate for biodegradation study due to its easy availability and wide use in industry. It was subjected to alkali (sodium hydroxide) treatment for enhancing its degradation. B...

background & aim: deanaie thyme (thymus daenensis celak.), a member of the lamiaceae family.  thymus in one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants that was used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics hygienic industries in most of developed countries. recent studies have showed that thyme have strong antibacterial, antifungal, spasmolytic and antioxidant activities. experimental: ...

Year class strength of many fishes often is determined by survival through the first winter. Increased fat reserves improve survival and overall cohort success. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods are established for estimating proximate composition of adult brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), but none have been developed for early life stages. Small-fish BIA would provide...
