in the recent years, increasing production of waste as a result of population growth, increased food consumption, industrial development and urbanization growth, is regarded as a serious challenge. vermicompost, as an end product of urban waste recycling with proper physicochemical features, can play an effective role in plant growth and development and also in reducing harmful effects of vario...

to study the effect of salinity and organic matter on chemical composition and root morphology of pistachio cv. badami, budded on seedling root stocks, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial based on a completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four salinity (zero, 800, 1600 and 2400 mg nacl kg-1 soil) and three organic matter (zero, two and four...

this research investigate the effects of different concentrations of salt: 0, 75, 100, 150 (mm nacl) and concentration of 0.05 mm gibberellic acid and 5µm salicylic acid on the content of proline and a, b chlorophylls of canola (hayola 401 and rgs). the results showed that with increasing in the amount of salinity in both chlorophylls decreased and the amount of decrease in chlorophyll b was mo...

background: some health-protecting secondary metabolites can be found at a higher concentration in the sprouts compared to other stages of plant growth. in addition, environmental stresses such as salt stress may be resulting in the increase or decrease of specific secondary metabolites in sprouts and plants. objective: evaluation the changes of trigonelline, nicotinic acid, and proline content...

Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. An experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol NaCl was applied in irrigation plantings ...

potassium plays an important role in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity stress. to evaluate the effect of potassium on salinity tolerance of two wheat cultivars, kavir (as salt tolerant) and qods (as salt-sensitive), a pot experiment was conducted, using a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in different treatments (...

 Background: As Moringa peregrina is a valuable medicinal plant in traditional medicine, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity.  Objective: To determine some biochemical and growth responses of Moringa peregrina to salinity at the seedling stage. Methods: This experiment was conducted in Institute of Medicinal Plants-ACECR, on base of factorial experiment as ...
