When averaged across the three growing seasons of the study, regression analyses indicated that 25R47 had maximum yield at ~1,320,000 seeds/acre, close to the recommended rate of 1,400,000 seeds/acre (Table 1). In contrast, 25R62 had a maximum yield at ~ 1,030,000 seeds/acre, about 400,000 seeds/acre less than the current recommended rate (Table 1). Furthermore, this variety did not respond to ...

dormancy of eastern dodder and african rocket seeds makes the controlof them very difficult in orchards and farms. in order to study the effective factors in dormancy breaking of these two weeds species, a factorialexperiment based on crd with three replications was conducted at the research laboratory of birjand faculty of agriculture in 2008 and 2009. treatments were: control, soaking in sulf...

most seeds of medicinal plants due to ecological adaptation to environmental conditions have several types of dormancy. hence, it's necessary to recognize ecological factors that affect dormancy and provide optimum conditions for germination in medicinal plant species. thirty seed lots were used to estimate germination and dormancy of medicinal plants. treatments were kno3, (2%) and scarificati...

The effects of nutrients on sporulation of ten Streptomyces spp. was studied on 26 media. The media included starch-casein-KNO3, glycerol-arginine (GA), actinomycete-isolation (AI), tryptone-yeast extractglucose (TYG), and tryptone-soy agars. Media compositions had complicated effects on sporulation. The sporulation on media with minerals of GA agar and yeast extract was usually better than on ...
