Replacement of the usual harvesting sugarcane method (burning field before harvesting) by green harvesting method could be the most important factor contributing to the ecological balance and stable sugarcane production in the Khuzestan region. To evaluate the green harvesting sugarcane method and its effects on the agronomic and physiological characteristics of sugarcane cultivars, a field exp...

This study was conducted having the goal of investigating the effects of Methyl Jasmonate on germination, growth and development indices  and fruit yield in melon cultivars through two experiments separately performed at Labarotary and Research Station of Agricultural College, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in 2011. Germination test was conducted as a factorial experiment on the basis of c...

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

In the case of delayed planting of cotton, using cotton plantlets may lead to a better acquisition of light and water throughout the plant growth and hence an enhanced plant growth and yield. Therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of transplanting method on cotton quantitative and qualitative traits, a 2-year field research was carried out using a split plot design experiment with different...

In order to study the effects of nitrogen application rate and timing on grain yield, phyllochron and leaf appearance rate of corn (Zea mays L.), an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the Research Farm of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran during 2009 growing season. Nitrogen rates were arranged in main plot w...
