In order to study the effect of melatonin foliar application on photosynthetic pigments’ composition, phenolic compounds and soluble sugars on plants grown from different seed quality of safflower under water deficit condition, two field trials were conducted at Aburaihan Campus, University of Tehran in 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. The experimantal design was split-factorial randomized comple...

Cucumber represents one of the most important fruit vegetables in the world which has an undeniable role in human nutrition and especially vegetarian nutritional diets. Therefore, yield and quality improvement of this crop is very important. This study was carried out during 2014 to evaluate the effects of foliar application of some chemical fertilizers compared to their soil application on gre...

This pot experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of certain Zn-amino chelates, i.e. Zn-glycine [Zn(Gly)2], Zn-arginine [Zn(Arg)2] and Zn-histidine [Zn(His)2] in supplying zinc for wheat was compared with a commercial Zn-sulfate fertilizer. Three wheat cultivars, differing in Zn-efficiency, including Back Cross Rowshan, Kavir and Durum were planted at Research Greenhouse of Isfaha...

Iran, is classified as arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Therefore, it is important to identify and planting of drought tolerant plants such as quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). Zinc is involved in vital processes of the plant therefore; the supply of this element to the plant has a major impact on the quantity and quality of production. This study was conducted as a pot experiment to ...

In order to investigate the effect of methanol on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, some compatible osmolytes and biochemical traits of wheat under cut off irrigation conditions, the present experiment as factorial was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at the research farm of Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources of University of Mohaghegh Ar...

Mass production of medicinal and aromatic plants under hydroponic systems and especially in areas with saline soils is very important. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the interaction of salinity stress and foliar application of zinc (Zn) on hydroponically-grown basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The factorial experiment was arranged as randomized complete blocks design, with two salinity leve...

In order to investigate the possibility of reducing the quantitative and qualitative damage of rapeseed Neptune cultivar in water deficit tension conditions by applying foliar application of salicylic acid and micronutrients in Khorramabad climate, an experiment was conducted as a factorial split plot in a randomized complete blocks statistical design with three replications at Faculty of Agric...
