Abstract: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a relevant oilseed species used as feed in human and animal nutrition multiple industrial applications. However, oilseeds need to deal with the loss of vigor when propagule, due seed physiological quality (viability vigor) caused by deterioration events. We have evaluated present study effects seeds priming techniques (water, ascorbic acid, sodium n...

in order to determine of the proper sowing date of steckling (rootlet) and harvesting date of seed, an experiment was conducted in ardabil agricultural research station (alarough) in 2004- 05 growing season in split-plot in randomized complete block design arrangement with four replications. four different planting dates viz. 5th march, 20th march, 4th april and 19th april– were allocated to th...

A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive seasons (2009/10 and 2010/11) in the Demonstration Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture at Shambat-Sudan, to study the interactive effect of nitrogen fertilization and rhizobium inoculation on nodulation and yield of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) plants. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replicatio...

Cadmium (Cd) is considered one of the most toxic heavy metals to living organisms, being very persistent in soil and non-biodegradable, thus posing a long-term hazard plants humans. In recent years, application different molecules at seed level, known as chemical priming, has been studied method improve stress tolerance plants. present study, we tested effect hydro-priming proline priming lettu...

Seedlings establishment at early growth stages of crop plants is severely affected by soil salinity. Therefore, high germination rate and vigorous early growth under salty soils is preferred. In this study germination and seedling growth of a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar was assessed using three replicates of 50 seeds in a factorial laid out in two separate experiments as Completely Ra...
