Abstract—Present study focused on the utilization of solar energy by the help of photovoltaic greenhouse solar dryer under forced mode. A single slope photovoltaic greenhouse solar dryer has been proposed and thermal modelling has been developed. Various parameters have been calculated by thermal modelling such as greenhouse room temperature, cell temperature, crop temperature and air temperatu...

Little is known about management practices that can simultaneously improve soil and environmental quality and sustain crop yields. The effects of novel and traditional management practices that included a combination of tillage, crop rotation, and N fertilization on soil C and N, global warming potential (GWP), greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), and malt barley (Hordeum vulgarie L.) yield and qua...

The effect of magnetic field (MF) treatments of maize (Zea mays L.) var. Ganga Safed 2 seeds on the growth, leaf water status, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme system under soil water stress was investigated under greenhouse conditions. The seeds were exposed to static MFs of 100 and 200 mT for 2 and 1 h, respectively. The treated seeds were sown in sand beds for seven days and transplante...

fusarium wilt of chickpea, caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, is one of the most important diseases of this plant in iran. in order to control this disease biologically, fluorescent pseudomonas were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea plants and enumerated using king’s medium b (kb). antifungal activity of 80 bacterial isolates against fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris was evalu...

This study aims to evaluate the TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and soil type effect on Zea mays L. seedlings assess of NPs retained in organic matter terrestrial isopods (Armadillidium vulgare, Latreille). It was hypothesized that (i) combined pH minerals, addition harm maize plants, (ii) increasing Ti’s content (OM) causes mortality isopods. Under greenhouse conditions, effects (300 600 mg kg?1 dry ...
