abstract methods of tillage and organic matter affect root growth and distribution and therefore nutrient uptake by plant and its growth. this study was performed consecutive two years. tillage treatments included disk harrowing + two disk harrowings as reduced tillage (15 cm plowing depth) and moldboard plowing + two disk harrowings as conventional tillage system (30 cm plowing depth). also, t...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

A study was conducted in growth chambers to examine main factor and interaction effects of Tylenchorhynchus nudus and Magnaporthe poae on creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass at 24, 28, and 30 C. A 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was employed with presence and absence of T. nudus and M. poae as factors with each temperature run separately for 14 or 18 days. Tylenchorhynchus nudus d...

Studies on the function of root traits and the genetic variation in these traits are often conducted under controlled conditions using individual potted plants. Little is known about root growth under field conditions and how root traits are affected by agronomic practices in particular sowing density. We hypothesized that with increasing sowing density, root length density (root length per soi...

a pot experiment laid out in factorial arranged in completely randomized design with three replications was implemented to evaluate the effects of seed priming in ameliorating salinity stress in sesame (sesamum indicam l.) during seedling development and the early vegetative growth. factors included five priming treatments : control (non priming) , hydropriming, halopriming with nacl, kcl , cac...

Long-term use of drip irrigation technology may lead to root degradation and affect shoot growth and yield. A field experiment was conducted to investigate aboveand belowground growth responses to drip irrigation under mulch film (DI) in comparison to flood irrigation under mulch film (FI) in cotton. The monolith method was used to harvest roots at seven timepoints in the growth periods, and th...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training duration and case difficulty on the radiographic quality of root canal fillings performed by dental students in saudi arabia. methods and materials: a longitudinal cohort study was conducted at king saud university. root canal treatments performed by 55 dental students from 2012-2014 were included in the study. each stu...
