Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element for plant but at high concentrations, it is toxic and causes in plant growth retardation. There is limited information about the effects of Se on salinity-induced damages on wheat. Therefore this study was carried out to investigate interaction of salinity and Se on root and shoot dry matter yield, activity of GPX, and concentrations and uptake of selected ...

In order to study the effect of natural zeolite superabsorbent on yield and yield components of linseed under different moisture regimes, a split plot experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at Research Farm of Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, Iran in 2017. The main factor in four moisture regimes included irrigation after 50 (control), 80, 130 and 1...

In a 2yrs field study the effect of concentration and time of salicylic acid (SA) foliar application on growth of barley under non-saline and saline (2 and 12 dS m-1 of NaCl, respectively) conditions was evaluated in National Salinity Research Center of Iran, Yazd, central Iran during 2012-2014 growing seasons. The treatments of SA (11 treatments) included without SA and SA foliar application a...

Micronutrients availability including that of Zn is critical for optimum growth of plants. Zinc availability in calcareous soils of Iran is relatively low due to the presence of a large amount of CaCO3 and high pH levels. Overapplication of phosphorus to soils may also cause P-induced Zn deficiency. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and zinc application o...

a simple, sensitive and selective method for solvent extraction and spectrophotemetric determination of lanthanum (ii) europium (iii), and cerium (iii) is described , the rare earth metals are extracted into chloroform solution of n-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid (pbha) at ph 9-10 various parameters are studied to optimize the extraction conditions. the molar absorptivity is found to increase from ...
