Salinity level may affect early development of biofuel feedstock crops. The biofuel feedstock crops canola (Brassica napus L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.); and the potential feedstock crop sweet corn (Zea mays L.) were planted in media in pots and treated with aqueous solutions of 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M NaCl once at: 1) planting; 2) 7-10 days afte...

The presence of high concentrations of arsenic (As) decreased the shoot and root dry weight, chlorophyll and P and Mg content of Eucalyptus globulus colonized with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus deserticola or G. claroideum, but these parameters were higher than in non-AM plants. As increased the percentage of AM length colonization and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in th...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of salinity and three nitrogen nutrition on biochemical reactions and changes in dry weight of shoot and root on psyllium (plantago ovata f.), a glasshouse experiment in a complete randomized design with three replications in 2009 at university of zabol was conducted. salinity treatments in this experiment were 0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl and ni...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of moisture limitation on yield and dry matter distribution between shoot and root of triticale genotypes. this study was performed using a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications, in agricultural college of ferdowsi university of mashhad greenhouse during 2009. treatments were two available soil water inclu...

in order to study the effect of pyridate, bentazon and imazethapyr herbicides on chickpea growth, nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation, a greenhouse experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2010. experimental type was completely randomized design with four replications. treatments included pyridate, bentazon and imazethapyr herbicides application in 1200, 720 and 75 ...

The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...
