Alstromeria has beautiful flowers that is popular in the world. One of the most problem in commercial of this flower is ethylene sensitivity and bacterial contamination in stem end of cut flowers. In this experiment, effect of essential oils of bitter orange (0, 25 and 50 mg l-1) and lawson cypress (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and nonchemical treatment (with and without) with 18 treatments, 3 replic...

Agricultural industry is subjected to enormous environmental constraints, particularly due to salinity and drought. We evaluated the role of silicon (Si) in alleviating salinity and drought induced physio-hormonal changes in soybean grown in perlite. The plant growth attributes i.e., shoot length, plant fresh weight and dry weight parameters of soybean improved with elevated Si nutrition, while...

in order to study the effect of pre and postharvest polyamines spraying on increasing vase life of alstroemeria (alstroemeriaaurantica cv.sukari), an experimental was conducted on completely randomized factorial design with two types polyamines (putrescine, spermine) in four levels (zero, five, 10, 15 and 20 mg/l). results showed that, 20 mg/l of putrescine and spermine treatments increased vas...

to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation and macro and micro fertilizers on morpho-physiological characteristics of satureja a field experiment was conducted in agricultural research station of haji-abad (hormozghan province-iran) a split plot randomized complete block design with three replications during the growing season of 2012-2014. irrigation treatments consisted of normal, modera...

background and objectives: grape has high nutritional value and it is an economically important horticultural plant in the world. iran has seventh producer grape rank in the world. today tissue culture is one of technique which can be used in grape propagation and breeding. material and method: in order to optimization of callus induction and micropropagation of grape in vitro condition, this i...

generally, fruit trees should produce sufficient yield annually through their economic life. fruit trees usually produce flowers over their ability of productivity. if all of the flowers are converted to fruit, the tree will be weak and poor smaller fruit will be produced and it may cause alternate bearing. thus some flowers must be removed by hand, mechanically or chemically. in this study, th...

to determine the relative salt tolerance and/or resistance in seedlings of pistachio genotypes, four pot experimentswere conducted. in experiments 1 and 2, the effects of salinity on growth indices were studid. experiments were donein the form of split plot based on rcbd. in each experiment, mainplots consisted of different electrical conductivitiesof irrigation water (eciws). in experiment 1, ...
