this study was conducted under ahvaz, iran environmental condition during 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in order to investigate the influence of foliar application of potassium on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of three olive cultivars including ‘mission’, ‘koroneiki’ and ‘dezfuli’. potassium sulfate in different concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 g l-1 was sprayed twice on selec...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

BACKGROUND: Among the environmental stresses soil salinity is a widespread environmental problem that has been found to affect more than 77 million hectares or 5% of the cultivable land of the universe. Potassium has a positive role in plant growth under saline conditions, because this element plays an essential role in photosynthesis, osmo regulatory adaptations of plant to wa...

the current study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of mono and di-potassium phosphate combination (mdkp) on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of iranian pomegranate (cv. malas-e-saveh) in pomegranate research center of saveh city, in 2012. to adjust the ph of the solution, the mono potassium phosphate and di-potassium phosphate combined with each other in the ratio ...

in order to study the effects of farm yard manure (fym), sulfate of potassium (sop) and boric acid on quality and quantity of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted in split plot factorial with four replications during 3 years (1999-2001) in bardsir- kerman. the fym was the main plot in 3 levels: 0, 10 and 20 ton.ha-1. sop was applied at levels, 0 ,75 and 150 kg.ha-1  and boric acid at levels ...

abstract mineral weathering is a major source of most essential nutrients including potassium. it is well known that potassium plays an important role in improving the quality of agricultural products and micaceous minerals, as the major source of potassium, are abundant in iranian soils. no information is available on the role of micaceous minerals in supplying k to barley as the second major ...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...
