Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are essential nutrients for plants. Application of high levels of either Fe or Mn is often accompanied by relatively low levels of uptake for the other nutrient. The antagonistic relationship of these nutrient elements may occur either during absorption by roots or during translocation from roots to shoot. A greenhouse study was carried out to study the effect of so...

Recent studies point to an important role for the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) in regulating sexual behavior in male mice. We asked whether sexual experience could compensate for the disruptive effects of lesioning the MOE on sexual behavior in male mice. Male mice, which were either sexually naive or experienced, received an intranasal irrigation of either a zinc sulfate solution to destroy...

The production of zinc sulfate is important both medically and agriculturally. If zinc sulfate is produced without agglomeration at the nanoscale, its absorption in the body is more and faster. In this research, the induction time parameter is assessed for nucleation of zinc sulfate nanoparticles at room temperature and various supersaturations using acetone (as anti-solve...

in order to investigate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) along with zinc (zn) and manganese (mn), foliar spraying on the morphological parameters of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) an experiment was conducted in factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011. treatments were the pgpr inoculation with azotobacter and azospirillum (azb+a...

to survey the effects of nutritional and growth regulator components on adverse effects of recent consecutive droughts, an experiment was conducted on uniform grape trees (vitisviniferal.clv.'khalili') in bavanat and shiraz (akbar-abad) regions in 2010- 2011.trial was arranged in a randomized complete blockdesign (rcbd), with three replication and five trees per each plot. experimental treatmen...

To investigate the physiological responses of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Alstar hybrid) to water stress under different levels of zinc fertilizer, an experiment was conducted at the Isfahan Agricultural Research Center, Isfahan, Iran, during 2008 and 2009 using a randomized complete block design within a split plot layout with three replications. Five irrigation treatments used in thi...
