Canola (Brassica napus L.) is one of the important sources of vegetable oils and protein-rich meals. Canola ranks third in global production of oilseed crops and fifth among economically important crop next to wheat, rice, maize, and cotton. The present work was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effect of Ethylmethyl sulphonate (EMS) on the yield contributing characters of brassica nap...

Grafting is a technique that may affect plant tolerance to iron chlorosis in plants cultivated for their fruit. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of non-grafted quince seedlings and pear grafted onto quince plants cultivated in pots with alkaline soil. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the University of Cordoba, Spain, in pots (3 L) filled with a...

Wild hemp is one of the most valuable technical plant caused by sexual dimorphism: the differences in rate floras of Kazakhstan.Generally, it is accepted that the of growth and development between male and female most economically advantageous became fromthe plants are large [9]. The male plants tend to flower and cultivation of cultural fibre hemp varieties. The fibre hemp senesce earlier. Als...

in order to evaluate row spacing and microelements spraying on yield and some morphological traits ofpeppermint, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with fourreplications in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2010-2011. threelevels of row spacing (50 × 10, 50 × 20 and 50 × 30 cm) and two levels of microelements (no spra...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sowing procedures and the seed sowing rate of kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides cv. ‘Comum’) in corn on corn plant development, forage dry matter production, weed infestation and soybean plant development and yield. The kudzu seeds were either broadcasted over the terrain or sown in furrows (in the main plots) at rates, in both cases, of 400...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of cycosel and naphthalene acetic acid on some vegetative traits and on essential oil yield from rose-scented geranium (pelargonium graveolens heritier), an experiment was conducted in 2008 in the research greenhouse of horticulture department of zanjan university. the study was arranged as a factorial experiment, based upon a randomized co...

Based on several simplifying assumptions, a stochastic approach is developed that allows an estimation of the effects of non-regular spatial patterns of the distribution of individual plants on the mean value (K ) of trait per area. In this approach, two random variables are attached to each plant: single plant trait measurement (E) and individual space per plant (A). The latter is estimated by...

In this research, the acclimatized in vitro plants were transferred to the aeroponic system and the effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and jasmonic acid (JA) were investigated on the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cvs Agria and Svalan) minitubers. Some plant characteristics were also investigated in this cultivation system, under greenhouse conditions. Plants were foliar sprayed with PB...
