hydroponics technique accompanied by adjustment of nutrient solution seems to optimize crop production and help in establishing sustainable agriculture. in recent years, the greenhouse production of cucumber has been increased in iran, however there are just a few proper nutrient solutions employed in growing the crop. in line with this, an experiment was conducted to find the effect of various...

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum Desf.) Line 149 contains two novel major genes for excluding Na(+) from leaf blades, named Nax1 and Nax2. The genes were separated into families containing a single gene and near-isogenic homozygous lines were selected. Lines containing either Nax1 or Nax2 had lower rates of Na(+) transport from roots to shoots than their near-isogenic pairs due to...

in order to study the effect of macro nutrients on growth characteristics of two corn (zea maize l.) varieties (kws2360, ressuda pionee), an experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replications at growth room of crop physiology department of debrecen university. the treatments were nutrient solution free nitrogen (n), nutrient solution free phosphorus (p), nutrient s...

In Cambodia, cassava is mostly grown with little or no fertilizer inputs, but the magnitudes of nutrient balances are not known. This study was conducted to assess nutrient balances for cassava cultivation in Kampong Cham province in Northeast Cambodia. Forty five households in four cassava production zones were interviewed in relation to their cultural practices and crop residue management...

many researchers have reported positive effects of converter sludge and slag, two by-products in isfahan iron melting factory. in this work, the optimum rate of application and the availability of some essential elements (for plant growth) in the converter sludge and slag for corn were investigated. the converter sludge contains about 64% fe іі and ііі oxides and some other essential elements f...

based on the date obtained through food consumption surveys conducted by the institute of nutrition and food technology research (during 1991-95), the dietary quality of seven provinces (eastern azerbaijan, isfahan, tehran, khorasan, khouzestan, sistan-baluchestan and fars) was assessed. using allowances figures for developing countries, single value nutrient density (s.v.n.a.) was designed for...
