introduction during the last decades interest in organic production of seed specially for medicinal plants take into consideration because of higher quality of organic products (hermes, 2010). seed germination is one of the principal stages in the plant life cycle and seeds with higher quality and vigour resulted in more pronounced seedlings growth and development. therefore, investigation of a...

Field trials of the present study was realized in 3 isolation areas (3 different regions) as EK1102 variety Eşrefli location, VE3060 Aşağıpiribeyli location and PS4042 Doğanyurt - TURKEY according to split plot randomized complete block design with replications. The main plots consisted from plant density for line control (PS4042: 6200 da -1 , VE3060: 5700 EK1102: 6500 5000 6000 7000 ) 4 potass...

In the present study, the effect of oral administration of Melia azedarach Linn. (dharek) seed extract on fertility index, uterine weight and various histological and biochemical parameters of uterus were studied in the adult cyclic Wistar rats. Average number of embryos and implantation losses in the pregnant animals treated with dharek seed extract was also studied. The extract was prepared u...

the use of resistant cultivars remains one of the most reliable methods to manage the pests. in this study the mechanism of resistance in 10 lines of rice for 3 kinds of resistance (antixenoses, antibioses and tolerance) was studied. the egg set of striped stem borer on the leaf of considered lines for antixenoses and larva weight mean and survival percentage of larva were evaluated for antibio...

in order to study morphological variation within seeds and seedlings of a pistachio population of ‘badami-riz-e-zarand’, 20 quantitative traits were measured in sixty-seven nut and seedlings originated from them. results showed that there was positive and significant correlation between traits of nuts (seeds) and kernels, not between seedling height and crown diameter. according to measured par...
