In order to investigate the effects of solitary and combined application of chemical and biological fertilizers on the yield and yield components of quinoa plant, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Dastgerd (Borkhar), Isfahan, central Iran, during the 2017-2018 growing season. Experimental factors included four levels of Che...

This pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions to evaluate the effects of different levels and forms of phosphorus fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative traits of two cultivars of Mathiola incana, based on a completely randomized design with eight treatments and four replications. Treatments were application of granular and liquid forms of triple superphosphate, both at thr...

To evaluate the effect of limited application of phosphorus (P) on height and performance quality of geranium (Pelargonium hortorum cv. Bulles Eye), an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse environment, based on completely randomized blocks design, during 2011-2012. Geranium seedlings were cultivated in the pots filled with peat-based substrate (80% peat + 20% garden loam soil (v/v)). Trea...

Due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and also the lack of adequate information on the growth responses of ornamental plants to bio-fertilizers and municipal solid waste compost, this investigation was carried out on Zinnia. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in complete randomized block design with three replications. Fertilizers included municipal solid waste compost, phos...

Light is one of the main limiting factors, specialy in warm regions, for growth and development in plants and shade levels play an important role in the cultivation of medicinal plants. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of shade levels (0%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) to find the best environmental option with maximum flowering in Rosa damascena. The plants were evaluated after ei...

In vitro production is one of the fast and low-cost methods for mass propagation of horticultural crops. But, in vitro plantlets are more sensitive than others and need more adaptation against climatological factors. In order to investigate the symbiosis effects of two species of mycorrhizal fungi on growth and yield of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) cv Inspiration, under drought-stress condi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of organic acid on alleviation of bicarbonate stress in three grafted peach cultivars on GN-15 rootstock. The experiment was performed as a factorial based on a randomized complete block design during 2017-2019. Factors included peach cultivars (Red Haven, Jh. Hale and Barzegar), calcium bicarbonate (0, 7.5 and 15 mM), and a combination of oxa...
