Stem diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (H) are commonly used measures of tree growth. We examined patterns of height growth and diameter growth along a stem using a 20-year record of an even-aged hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl.) stand. In the region of the stem below the crown (except for the butt swell), diameter growth rates (ΔD) at different heights...

Zinnia elegans, an annual flowering plant of the genus Zinnia, is one of the best known zinnias. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different growing media on the growth and flowering of Zinnia elegans. Seven different growth media including coconut compost, silt, soil loam, leaf manure, (leaf manure + silt; 2:1), (coconut compost + soil loam; 1:1) and (leaf...

Tomato (Lycpoersicum esculemtum) belongs to the Solanaceae potato family and is an important crop plant. It is relatively resistant to salinity, but in the saline environment growth and production of the plant significantly reduces. On the other hand, the presence of mycorrhiza fungus can improve the adverse effects of salinity. A factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with thre...

in order to study the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot yield and essential oil content of lavender, this experiment was conducted in the research institute of forest and rangelands, karaj, iran, in 2013-14. the treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha) and cow manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 ton/ha). the experimental design was a factorial experiment based on randomized ...

BACKGROUND: Biofertilizers, like amino acids, are used to reduce drought stress damage to plants and improve physiological factors, thereby increasing plant yield in arid and semi-arid regions. Seaweed extract has a beneficial effect on plant growth due to its growth hormones and elements such as iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese and nickel, vitamins and amino a...

Pistachio is the most important nut that is produced in Iran. Little research has been done to examine the effect of UCB1-hybride rootstock plants as tissue culture for pistachios (2011 in Toba company).This study aims to evaluate three pistachio varieties on UCB1 hybrid rootstock.  The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three treatment groups (including Ohadi, ...

tuberose is one of the most important floral crops in iran. long spikes of fragrant flowers make it excellent for cut flower. due to the beauty and sweet fragrance of flowers, it used in all seasons for flower arrangements. production of high quality flowers and vase life extension is important for competition in world markets. for this reason this research was conducted on polianthes tuberosa ...
