Flowering and vegetative growth were assessed in 19 half-sib families of Alnus rubra Bong. planted in a replicated field trial near Olympia, Washington, USA. The trial consisted of three square spacings (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 m), two irrigation regimes (low and high), and two fertilization treatments (0 and 300 kg P ha(-1)). Male and female flowers were surveyed in all plots for all families at plan...

To investigate the effects of irrigation intervals and humic acid application on some phophysiological and biochemical of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), the experimental in the form of factorial in the design complete randomized block in four replications at Miandoab University Research Field in 2019. Experimental treatments were at four levels of irrigation intervals (once every three days, once eve...

The effects of conservation-tillage practices on the root environment of corn (Zea mays L.) may differ with varying amounts of irrigation. Dryland, 50% irrigation, and 100% irrigation treatments were applied in combination with disc, no-tillage, and a postemergence chisel treatment designed to allow rapid infiltration of irrigation water. The study was conducted during the 1980 growing season a...

Gut microbiota plays a dual role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is closely linked to production of uremic toxins. Strategies of reducing uremic toxins by targeting gut microbiota are emerging. It is known that Chinese medicine rhubarb enema can reduce uremic toxins and improve renal function. However, it remains unknown which ingredient or mechanism mediates its effect. Here we utilized a ...

Climate change, water supply limits, and continued population growth have intensified the search for measures to conserve water in irrigated agriculture, the world's largest water user. Policy measures that encourage adoption of water-conserving irrigation technologies are widely believed to make more water available for cities and the environment. However, little integrated analysis has been c...

People are worried about effect of household cleaning products in the environment. One of the sources of detergent is sewage that is being used for irrigation of the crops. A laboratory experiment and a pot experiment were conducted in 2012 to determine the effect of irrigation with different doses of detergent on plant growth and seed germination traits of maize (Zea mays). The experiments inc...
