a split plots experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out at field research center of islamic azad university, shoushtar branch during 2012 to find out the suitable sowing date and urea fertilizer used in chamomile (matricaria recutita). main plots including three sowing date (9, 19 and 29 february 2012) and subplots including four levels of urea fertilizers (5, 10, 15...

abstract nowruzak (salvia leriifolia) of lamiaceae family has a good capability for domestication in khorasan’s natural habitats. in order to investigate the effect of sowing design and depth in seedling emergence and permanence, a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design was performed with three replications. results indicated sowing design in all three parameters, sow...

the current study was carried out to examine sugar beet growth pattern in climatic conditions of hamedan, iran and to recognize the factors affecting its quantity and quality as well as the physiological indices. two sowing date experiments were conducted on the basis of a randomized complete block design with four replications and 11 harvests. the plots were destructively sampled and the growt...

Species-rich semi-natural grasslands are highly endangered habitats in Central Europe and numerous restoration efforts have been made to compensate for the losses in the last decades. However, some plant species could become more easily established than others. The establishment success of 37 species was analyzed over 6 years at two study sites of a restoration project in Germany where hay tran...

The sowing rows were revealed by a background correction, the background being obtained thanks to a median rank filter. The method was found efficient in eliminating the shadows. For the crop rows, a neural network was used to localise the plants. While the petiole and the leaves were easily separated from the soil, the chicory root and the soil having about the same colour and the lighting con...

To illustrate the advantages of germinating Oenothera seeds under experimental conditions over the old practice of sowing upon earth I will give the results for a problem as attacked under the old and new method. In 1914 I germinated on earth seeds from an F1 hybrid plant, 13.35ac, of the cross 0. franciscana X 0. biennis. A sowing of 819 seed-like suctures produced a culture of 402 seedlings, ...
